Now what do you mean by living naturally? Nobody lives naturally.
We all live in cities.
When it gets cold out, we turn on the unnatural heat.
And when the Sun's too hot, we turn on the venetian blinds.
What's natural? Marriage is not natural.
A guy squeezing on a girl's *** is not natural...that's trained.
A girl walking the way she does is not natural...that's trained.
A girl having long hair is trained, not natural.
A girl having no hair is not natural.
Nothing. There is no such thing as 'human nature.' Humans don't have any nature at all.
It depends on the way they were brought up.
If I bring you up with a lot of butch tomboys. Climbing trees, saying, '*** you, get out of my *** way'
That's the way you would talk. Do you believe that? or are you not sure?
If you were brought up in a certain area in Texas. You would say '*** ***' and beat the *** out of them.
Now that's the way you might talk. Right?
So what do you mean by 'individuality'? I've never met an individual, yet.
There is no such thing. These are all myths.
They are given to you..to make you feel that you're something special.
And who wants to make you feel that way?
The control group.
All people live under thought control.
That's why those of you that are new here.
Might fear...
That the ideas I talk about might be dangerous.
Well I'm going to tell you something now.
That this organization is called Sociocyberneering.
and it's least apt to succeed.
We're not going to get anywhere...
Cause the ideas are too difficult to accept.
So don't worry about us becoming powerful.
We're not.
And to become powerful..
Would really..
For the first time..
Approximate the nearest thing to what you call freedom.
Cause we believe..
The smarter you are, the richer I am.
The smarter your kids are, the richer society is.
The better fed they are. The healthier they are.
And the more loved they are.
The less trouble in the world.
Does that make sense to you?
I mean, less trouble in the world.
The more miserable people are.
The more suffering.
The higher the probability of war.
If he drives a car and he can't afford a brake job..
he can kill you...in a car where you can afford a brake job.
So whenever there is poverty, insufficiency..
mental institutions..
prisons..
We generate behavior.
What i'm trying to tell you is all societies generate behavior.
You go to a middle class..
or a poor Cuban family.
and tell them something new, or how to work venetian blinds.
or air conditioning.
They say, 'aaAAAAAAAAAHhh'
They all say the same thing.
'aaAAAAAAAHHHhh'
You go to New York and you talk to New York italian kids.
They say, 'O fan' gool!'
In that kind of voice, too.
And you go to a *** community
They say
'Yea righhh, uugghhrrr, you right.'
All the same.
Because if you were brought up by negros..
that's how you'd talk.
If they spoke like that.
And if everybody talked with a
'Say, say, what's new in the world?'
You would talk like that.
So, individuality is a crock of ***..
When we're contacts we've had with others.
Every book you read.
Every movie you saw.
Every symbol they had.
Is little bit of what we are.
But, of course, I feel like an individual.
When I go out and you show me five automobiles and I pick this one.
I feel like I'm making a choice.
I really do.
Like, if I lived five hundred years ago and I thought of buying a nice car for you.
I would buy something like this.
You know, I really would.
I'd make a down payment on it, and I buy the thing.
I have nothing else in my mind.
I don't picture a jet aircraft.
So what do I buy? I buy what exist.
They say, 'you can go to university now and study anything you want to study.'
That's a crock of ***.
Cause in the early days when you go back, say, 500 hundred years ago.
and you went before the king and say, 'I'd like to study something.'
He said, 'Well...'
'You can make flaming arrows.'
'Javalins.'
'You can hammer out armor, if you have a course in that.'
You know, Armor Smith.
'You can fix charriot wheels.'
You couldn't study anything you wanted to study.
Young american kids, when they go out into the world.
in a park.
you see a baseball field.
or a football field.
Some of you say, 'well that's fine.'
That's ***.
You don't see any chemistry labs.
for kids who love chemistry.
You don't see any area where they go and study aeronautics.
or the earth sciences.
Every *** park should have..
Music
Art
Science
Theater
Photography
How come it's always baseball?
and football?
I'm going to give you the reason for it.
To enhance aggressive behavior.
To get men to grab a ball and take it away from somebody else and knock the other guy over.
In case of a war...
or conflict..
There's generated loyalty to team and aggression.
But a society...that really concerns it self with human beings
never teaches aggression.
When a brother has a sister and she trips and falls..
he helps her up.
He could shove her down the stairs and watch her fall the rest of the way.
Now
There was something in a play called...
..if I could I think of the name of it.
umm..
About the death of a salesman.
And in that salesman..
Willy...
Whatever his name was..
What was his name?
Willy..Collin?
He was a..
He wanted to know how his uncle succeeded.
How he made so much money.
And he was always starving.
One of the uncles said, 'come on son let's go out to the backyard and fight.'
and he's boxing with the kid.
and the kid hits the uncle, light.
and the uncle falls on the ground.
and he says, 'gee, I hope I didn't hurt you'
He says, 'never.. stick your hand out to a man that's down..keep him down!'
That's the theory of business enterprise.
If you don't know that.
To undersell another corporation and break their back.
If you have a supermarket and you know I got 50 thousand in the bank.
If you sell stuff for 5 weeks or 3 months cheaper there.
I go out of business.
So the whole theory of a shrewd businessman
Is to go to some mexican plant and say, 'how much would you charge to turn out these products?'
And she says, '50 cents a piece'
And he says 'make it 30, and I'll order 5,000'
'Make 20 cents a piece
or 15 cents a piece
and I'll order 30,000.'
And she has to hire people for half a buck a day.
So a shrewd businessman..
*** the existence of other people.
You admire successful people in this country.
They are meanest sons of *** that ever lived.
If you go out to south Florida and buy 50 acres for $10,00 dollars and later sell them for $70,000.
They'd call you a good businessman.
Now
All the values are twisted!
But, remember it's easier to live with twisted values.
It serves the self-interest.
So if you're really self-interest centered.
This is the philosophy.
You go out into the world
with your finger up everybody's *** and a smile.
and your hand on their shoulder.
But if you understand what i'm talking about..
this offers an alternative.
And the alternatives in the system are quite different.
Now, before I go on. Do you have any questions you want to ask me?
Maybe I've said things that you don't agree with.
