Forum Post: This is the Matrix

Today I have logged on to tell you that our whole generation has been shafted. I have found out that the reason for this was that the establishment wanted graduates just smart enough to use their machines but not think for themselves. The way this was done was by deny young people a liberal education, this was an education that teaches graduates to think critically. You may think of that as something you are born with, but it is not. While its true that some of you through your own will and genetic memory know how to think critically, most of the population does not. In going back and studying this skill myself, I have seen many different methods touted as steps of Critical thinking, but the best one I have found is Sir Francis Bacon's scientific method. Right know we live in the Matrix, everything you see and hear is a lie. I believe if you use and teach the scientific method in dealing with the issues you face, even the most lame and bedraggled of your number will be better equipped to solve problems then most of their counterparts on the hill. What ever you see on the news or on the internet, or even read in a school book you must question. The first thing you have to do when you see or hear anything is

1ask a question, like what's wrong with this?

2 Do background research like what would America have to gain from attacking Iran

3 Construct a hypothesis, America wants to Bail out the banks because ???

4 Test with an experiment, when it comes to social situations you can only look at similar situations in history

5 Analyze results Draw conclusion, Like maybe Newt Gingrich doesn't have our best interest at heart

     Many teachers say things like Clarity of thought, that's all fine and dandy but clear thinking and the critical thinking are not mutually exclusive. It's possible to have a clear thought that's complete Bullshit and generally complete bullshit falls apart during the above steps. 
     Another method meant to confound that I found that popped up a lot 

Knowledge=Of course Comprehension+No really Application= What you going to apply it before you analyze it Analysis=ok Synthesis=yeah Evaluation= What ever So at what point of these steps do you actually start thinking critically, this does not teach critical think it implies critical thinking, the above is what Obama does before he reads a speech. I know this may seem like school, but I want all of you to be ready to defend your ideals from people like dick Chaney and Newt Gingrich. I can't have the antichrist and prince of darkness verbally tearing you guys a new one. You need to be prepared to defend your ideals against any one. I know you occupiers with a background in science know the scientific method but you can also apply it to social issues. For those of you who don't have a scientific background here is the link. http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_scientific_method.shtml Also sir Francis Bacon used to be the cornerstone of the American educational system but in order to dumb down the population his works where deleted. Here is that link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Bacon And Check out the noble lie a movie about the Critical thinking, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SD5-xfbcJI Last but not least you all need to support our Saudi Arabian Brothers in the Matrix the link is below http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-four-men-killed-as-shia-protests-against-the-state-intensify-6267704.html This is Sinthytech the voice of reason signing out, I can't fight for you but I can give you the tools to fight.

i agree with the general process you put forth and think that needs to be done per issue on a wiki, not a forum.

" The way this was done was by deny young people a liberal education"

That's funny. Most conservatives complain that the education system is too liberal, and led to the Occupy movements.

No. Right now you are on the Internet, where everything you hear and see is a half-truth. If you step outside your house, and look around, you'll see that everything else is very much real.

Of course, you don't do that. You stay inside on the internet. And the world just never seems to make any sense on the internet, because it's not real.

The movie 'The Matrix' is an apt metaphor. Before OWS existed to spread the information others are willing to share and finding my predicament not unlike millions of others I coined a number of my own phrases and definitions, here are a few: 'Member of the Ha Ha club' because as long as I am not earning a minimum of $250K per year I must be 'missing something' since there are individuals who pay little to no taxes and corporations/big business that actually pay negative taxes due to usage of tax loopholes that allow them to do so. 'Stupid Humans' Whenever I read something as stupid as the fact that companies such as GE chose to sell nuclear power plants to be built on a known highly seismic island such as Japan which when earthquake and Tsunami hit cause the meltdown of Fukushima TEPCO nuclear plant (which is equal to 6 Chernobyls in size) I feel like the true cause was ultimately 'Stupid Humans' doing selfish 'Stupid Human Tricks' again all in the name of profits. 'Joblet' Any job that is usually easy to get within days of layoff but isn't in today's Economy. Sadly and for many who get one of these 'joblets' it means for those who must be self sufficient in terms of affording even the most basic of living expenses one needs and becomes subsidy eligible and must use private or public assistance to make up the difference since for example, a food card under the SNAP foodstamp program only buys about 2 weeks worth of quality fresh produce, frozen inexpensive poultry,lean meats,eggs, cheese and other staples for 2 adults(and none of the foods bought are pre-made,all foods are for from scratch cooking) 'Dust Bunny Money' Even when I was earning over $80K as a real estate and loan officer there's no freakin' way my earnings after taxes could ever compare with those in our corrupt congress let alone Goldman Sachs or any other 7+ figure earners on Wall Street-I'm just a 99er and a 99percenter crumb/plebe that knows how to work very hard when I am able to work to earn my 'Dust Bunny Money' that sure as hell has less spending power than my parents and grandparents before them.

I think the Rothschilds and the top members of the Bildberg group have already decided to cull the world's population by 50 to 60%.
