Nurturing a ‘brainless society’

WHAT I AM ABOUT to say may seem somewhat paradoxical, but let not your heart be troubled, for whether or not it is clear to you, the world is unfolding as it should.

How can it be that people of sound minds and character can seem to be so equivocal? One day we don’t want schoolchildren taking cellphones to school, and the next day they are allowed to do so. It would be interesting to find out who or what could be responsible for such mood swings.

If the young people seem confused and indifferent, it’s not their fault – blame the adults. We adults can’t get it right, it seems. We have thrown away all the tools and measures with which to discipline and influence our children and expect to obtain the same results as before.

A child is supposed to think, act and speak like a child, but when that child becomes an adult, he is required to behave like an adult. It is useless to give a child a toy or tool and then tell him or her not to use or play with it. If you allow a child to have a cellphone, how can you then come with all these restrictions and expect him to comply? I mean, who is the child and who is the adult? Children will be children.

Really, all this new thinking is making the young people weak mentally and functionally. Children should be encouraged to develop their minds and their ability to think and reason. I think it is a travesty to subject our youth to this kind of exposure which to me is tantamount to corrupting morals.

We are already seeing the fallout from this technological explosion. The evidence is manifested when you have to interact with some young folks: they can only think in the box; their ability to think or reason has been severely impacted and can only put out what has been put in. We are producing a brainless society due to a brainless system.

I believe the alien species, some living amongst us, are rejoicing in the fact that they are succeeding in converting us humans to act like robots. In a few years all brain cells will be dormant and replaced by a chip. So to communicate you will have to push a button or press search, so based on your memory capacity you will get your answers.

The young people acting so violently are really mindless – no emotion, no thinking, just like robots – because that’s how they have been conditioned. It makes it easy to take up a gun and shoot someone without even blinking. Taking away their young minds is what these devices are doing.

It is projected that by the year 2050, five billion people, half of the world’s population, will suffer from myopia. But let not your heart be troubled, the universe is unfolding as it should.
