Schooling


Always the luke warm temperature — the artificial aquarium forms the school itself. All input, chemical and energetic, must be measured. The mood must be maintained on an even keel. All negativity ignored. The interesting element of abounding intrigue is that all human interaction is totally eliminated. Instead are ersatz human relations: The magnificent edifice of behaviourism — a structure (or obstruction) of immense totemistic reliability. In the classroom, it prevents the teachers from having to have anything to do with the students, and the students themselves, once accustomed to it, can’t handle anything else.

WE ARE NOW APES

Miniature rewards of positivity tumble forth, as if from heaven. The dragon’s mouth opens wide. No negativity allowed (or rather, lots of negativity, but beneath the radar and denied a meaning.)

WE WANT TO BE GIANTS

Behaviourist regulation allow no human spirit to evolve. There are monkey-like, ape-like gestures, males posture whilst females simper, but generally one hears no human noise nor distant echo of reflecting minds.

WE ARE OKAY ABOUT IT

This is also adult culture: the norm. It is only an aggressive totemistic culture that develops out of bland, behaviorism. Only peckings are distributed in pure malice. Pecks are the order of the day, and there are often hours — days — when the whole barnyard is all a fluster.

CHICKENS!

The inability to communicate: a common cultural state of being due to never having come in contact with a human being. An ape preening on top.

CHICKENS.
