My discussion with John Willis yesterday got me thinking as any talk with John always does for me.  I love what he is doing with Homestead Apprentice but I want to talk more about the reason why things are needed like this today.  Today I will tell you a part of your history as a modern species.  Yes modern, and this history is not good.

See humans have bred and domesticated animals for a very long time.  In modern times humans have been domesticated though a very simple process of conditioning.  If you think about it most “domesticated animals” are genetically not much different than their wild ancestors.  A cow could kill you, so could a horse as could a pig, but they don’t.  Nope they line up to be fed, pet, perhaps milked, even slaughtered.  Why?  A single word answers this, conditioning.

And this is what has been done to modern man.  The restrictions we allow on our liberty today.  We do so with smiles and remarks about a “civilized society” falling from our mouths like pablum from a toddler’s mouth. These restrictions would have instilled massive violent outrage from our great grandparents only a 100 years ago.

What happened?  Some would say, hard times created strong men, who created good times and good times then created weak men, who now have brought us hard times, again.  There is some truth to that, but it is far more insidious.  We are the same DNA as our grandparents and great grandparents.  We are made of the same stuff, the shift in only 2-4 generations is not genetic, rather mental.

That is scary as shit, it is also quite encouraging at the same time.  For anything that is done with mental conditioning and mass scale programming can be undone with a simple formula, one I will reveal to you today.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

• How you domesticate a species
  • Take it from it’s parents when young – the PreK -12 school system
  • Feed it and make it dependent on you – school lunches and crap junk food
  • Medicate it so it can be kept in unnatural conditions – 70% of Americans are on prescription drugs, 50% on 2 or more
  • Condition it to follow and be obedient to commands – Ring a bell change classes, ring a bell take a break, go to work
  • Provide it  some level of amusement/enrichment so they enjoy captivity – recess, video games, NetFlix, etc.
  • Make all major decisions for the animal – Directed diets, retirement ages, permits, license, etc.
  • In the end, the animal could kill or escape at any time, but it doesn’t, it obeys and stays
• The primary elements to breaking free of the system
  • Money is the first means of control, so financial independence is required
    • High earning employment – still has problems
    • Developing a side hustle
    • Running a business that is regulated in some real way
    • Running a business that is mostly unregulated
    • Designing a life that is as inexpensive as possible yet fulfilling
• Things that we now think of as nice that may be required in the future
  • Getting out of the major cities, especially the flash point cities
  • Developing local economies and strategic import/export economies
  • Learning to eat natural foods, no seed oils, etc.
  • Growing your own food, both animal and vegetable
  • Homeschooling your kids or developing educational co-ops
  • Developing multiple income streams (some gray market)
  • Restoration of “home economics” as a virtuous form of education
  • Developing extensive financial literacy
  • Developing “natural system knowledge”
• Final thoughts
