@bdebramo like i said this whole society is built on social conditioning your just saying what i already did but taking a whole paragraph to do it and it is a disgusting rat race i knew that long before i watched this video
-
@l3054 you think just because you didn't go to school your not subjected to this "conditioning" your on the internet, you probably watch tv, you probably go to the grocery store, you probably walk down the street and are subjected to some kind of "conditioning" its everywhere, but it's up to us to be free thinkers and choose what we let influence us? if thats what you mean. but of course your going to think like that when a video shows the "real world" as a huddle of the men in business suits

@bdebramo the greek academies were far better in structure schools nowadays do condition people whether you wanna admit it or not this whole society is built to condition people its not funny not one bit

@l3054 Structured education has been around since ancient greece and earlier. it's important to a civilization If people were to "learn on their own terms" things would be pretty different... School isn't made to hold people down, for some reason people have that mindset nowadays. People in third world countries would kill for a chance at free education. If dropping out worked for you more power to you then, but I'm not being conditioned? lol

@bdebramo and to you the school system was a good idea but in practice its terrible its not there to teach us things its there to condition us to think a certain way without us even seeing it its better to learn things on your own terms like you said further reading i memorized everything in my textbooks during school and knew more than 90 percent of the other students but to me the paperwork was pointless so teachers didnt like me and i dropped out

@deejayedwards its a massive system designed so that its extremely hard to live outside of it take the native americans for example their traditional way of life was destroyed and they were forced to live like those who took their land just to survive

I'm a college track and field athlete. I love competing in sports. After college I plan to do strongmen competitions or powerlifting. But it's sad when you see so many athletes being totally engulfed by sports and it becomes their life. And when they don't reach their goals, it haunts them for the rest of their life. I realize if I don't go far in strongman or powerlifting, it's alright. It wasn't meant to be and i'll move on in life. I'll try traveling the world instead. Watts got me into zen.
