School Is For Losers: Here’s The New 3 R’s

“School is for suckers.” This is understandably the mantra for drop-outs everywhere, but what’s not so easy to comprehend is the fact that many people who have successfully navigated the educational system are not far from being in total agreement with this thinking.

If you ask a few of your educated friends what percentage of their accumulated knowledge they use in their adult lives you are likely to hear answers that range from ‘very little’ to ‘almost none.’

Most people subconsciously realize that much of what’s taught is for the sole purpose of mental programming.  Schools teach us to conform to controlled beliefs through the rewards and punishment system. It uses grades, promotions and forcing students to repeat classes to get them to perform at a satisfactory level. A true definition of performing on a satisfactory level would be: demonstrating a sufficient ability to retain and regurgitate the information that has been selected for them at a particular level of their programming process.

The real question isn’t whether or not school actually teaches students anything of useful value, but instead why are they not teaching children anything useful?

Understanding that Abraham Lincoln never told a lie (which is more than likely a damn lie itself), or the fact that somebody said ‘don’t shoot until you see the whites of their eyes’ seems to have no bearing in a world of competitive capitalism and an ever increasingly difficult pursuit of a happiness that can only be acquired by the accumulation of money and things.

So maybe school is for suckers; but hey, it’s the only game in town so you kinda have no choice but to play it.

Then let’s change the rules of the game. Let’s bring evolution into the educational system, create a curriculum that is keeping up with the times. I have a suggestion. Let’s start with the very basics: The three R’s.

The new 3 R’s: Rapping, Running & Racial Mixing

Ok if you’re a conclusion jumper then chances are you’ve already stopped reading but if you are still with me, then stay with me til the you hear fat ladies hitting high notes… Remember this is for your personal edification not mine.

Rapping: This symbolizes entertainment or the pursuit of a career in one of the most lucrative industries there is. This includes acting, music, and anything else that rewards handsomely for artistic expression. The best part of this is you don’t need to know the square root of an algebraic expression or the capital of all fifty states to make a go at this.

Running: This symbolizes athletics, politics and the all important relationships with people. Athletes today make more money than Jesus and very few of them are academically adept, because it’s simply not needed in their line of work or lifestyle. Ok maybe it is important for them to know that if you own two Jaguars that cost $895K each, which just happens to be the exact lease amount of one of your Malibu Beach luxury condos then it will take approximately zero effort to find a date for Saturday night… well you get the point. I mentioned politics in this category because it is a career choice that also requires self discipline and tenacity to claw your way up the ladder so that you can basically make a comfortable living telling lies and taking kick backs. Relationships fall under this R umbrella because it is not really what you know but who you know that matters in the world of the successful. You can have all the talent in the world and step on the wrong toe or neglect to kiss the right ass and you’ll quickly find yourself among the millions of coulda beens, has beens and mighta beens. Besides having good relationship skills will ensure that your level of personal happiness stays in the plus column, which will diminish the number of successful people who become drug addicts and suicide victims.

The final R is Racial Mixing. Why you ask? Because if you are still looking at people in racial terms instead of as just various shades of the same color (human) then your head is stuck so far up your own ass that you can see 1946… and I bet the view for you is a pretty shitty one.
What I really mean by race mixing is ‘to blur the racial distinctions that have been engrained into people’s minds, causing them to see differences rather and similarities’. What you need to do is put your concepts of race into a mixing bowl, add love and understanding to it and then stir… And keep stirring it until you are left with the perfect blend of color that includes everybody, everywhere.

The divide and conquer policy has been in effect and been quite effective for a very long time. In order for people to evolve and ascend as a group, we need to break free of the mental shackles that serve only the powers that be. Those same powers that would be threatened by a unified world population focused on its common needs and issues. It is then and only then that our power will become greater than theirs. Here’s a mathematic equation for you: Which number is greater: 899 Billion or less than 1 million?  The answer is elementary my dear Watson and this same logic holds true when you look at the number of haves versus the number of have-nots in this world.

I want to apologize to any descendants of good old tree chopping George; who based on the children he fathered with his slave women, was also a believer in race mixing. Hey no offense y’all. Anyway that’s all I got – for now. But stay tuned cuz I’m sure I’ll think of something else to stimulate minds and strike nerve endings like finger nails across a chalkboard.

Peace and enjoy your journey.
