Nothing
IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY, YOU'RE NOTHING.
This is the point of everything they promote, from consumerism, to individualism: such a selfish and materialistic self-serving life.
I have been trying for weeks to expound on the previous couple of lines. These are what I am constantly thinking about, and what is keeping me worried all the time.
But everytime I start writing, I end up with pages and pages that require more reading, researching and organising.. But then, just like now, I ask myself: What is the point? What is the point of all of this theory? Why do I have to prove anything? What is the point of reading and learning if we were not willing to act?
What is the point if I learned all these things, but I remained silent and I did not do anything? There is no point at all.
So I ask you, especially the ones doing phds like me: What is the point of learning if we were not willing to act? What is it, tell me?
The life in 'the west' or let's say first world countries, especially the US and the UK, is very much determined by the economic system. So what is the economic system in the UK? It is purely materialistic. Where ever I look, I find them brainwashing people: IF YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY, YOU'RE NOTHING. That's how they brainwash the people. With advertisements 24/7, convincing the people that: If you don't have our fancy phones, our fancy cars, our fancy houses, then you are nothing.
This is why you find the only worry of the people is make more and more gains, at all costs. More and more profit. More of everything: More sex, more money, more 'likes', more of everything. They teach the people: the motive is yourself, you are the only thing that matters.
They tell them: you're living an individualistic life, have fun! Enjoy it while it lasts! You're free! Forget about the family, forget about sisters, brothers, mothers, fathers, children; you're the only thing that matters in this whole life.
Such a disgusting self-serving life.
The extremist capitalists want the society broken apart like that, so that it is easier to control the people and allocate them to different corporations, so that PROFIT is maximised. They want us PhDs to have very specific knowledge about very specific topics, but not general knowledge, so that our output and contribution for them is maximised. This is the reason why it is very rare to find a wise person in the UK. Sometimes you find professors with very specialised knowledge in one field, but they know absolutely nothing about other topics. A professor like this is very beneficial for them, because this professor is easy to control. Without the general knowledge the professor won't be able to spread any knowledge, nor be able to make any revolutions. PIFFFF.
I mean I can write and write for days. But what is the point? Mention any topic you like, and I'll show you how they brainwash people.
They want to capitalise on everything. Absolutely everything. Everything has become a commodity for them. Even love and freedom.
Take love, what is love for them? For them it is only the sexual act that brings 'satisfaction' to the individual. You see, it is all about the self, there is no sacrifice in their dictionaries. You're all my friends, and there is nothing one of you can ask me and I will say no. Nothing, I will ALWAYS do all I can to help. Where is this in their dictionaries? No where. Pure material.
They say 'freedom', 'democracy'. And after they decimate some countries with their 'democracy', you look into their actions after it is too late and you find that they only wanted more. More oil. More money. This is why we kill millions all around the world.
"It's not my job", "I don't care". Indeed, this is the point of everything they teach the people: it's all about you. So if it serves you, you do it. If it does not serve you, then it's not your job.
More and more. We have destroyed the planet and decimated the environment with this hunger.
Take God. God is their enemy. If I start now I won't finish. And there is a million things to say, and I can go on and on and on.
But this is not the question. The real question is: Are you here to serve yourself, or are you here to serve the other?
Have you ever felt it that sometimes, by giving the other, we actually are gaining? If you have, then it becomes a must to start thinking about God, because the materialistic norm says that by giving, you are losing, not gaining. Am I wrong?
So I ask you again, especially the ones doing PhDs: Why are you here? Why are you alive?
So am I right? Am I wrong? I beg you: don't be passive. Don't just listen and say: Elias must have gone mad. I only say this because I care, because it is the responsibility that I have chosen.
If you think I'm wrong, you must stand in my face. Otherwise we become strangers who look at each other but don't say anything.
