Social Conditioning Quotes

“Once kids’ brains had been rewired and programmed by indoctrination, social conditioning, and brainwashing from the great design, they’d give up their dreams, aspirations, and ideals, and instead focused on acquiring as much money as they could. Another slave willing to do anything for money would roll off the assembly line. The Masters had used money to corrupt humans and turn them into dogs, barking and biting each other for their piece of the pie. This is how the world had become a dog-eat-dog world; it was all part of the great design.”
― Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success

“Dale was tempted to rip the electronic pad from its stand and shove it up the barista’s ass while shouting, “Here’s your goddamn tip, you inflated asshat.

“Sapionova, Sonnet 1195

They say, nobody is above the law,
I say, I am.
They say, nobody is above grammar,
I say, I am.

All are barred to break status quo,
Yet I do on a daily basis.
All are tamed to be rats without roar,
Yet I write my own moralities.

In a world run by do's and don'ts,
Wield your backbone and find your way.
Animals may need the crutch of custom,
By the feet of humans new roads are paved.

Question of should comes from principles,
It must never be a matter of convenience.
Sapient principles are living principles,
Not those inherited through dead lineage.

Sapiens is the question, sapiens is the answer.
When all live as neanderthal, be the sapionova.”

“Amidst all sad normals, be a happy anomaly.”
