    I'm new and have read the guidelines. Still unsure if this discussion is in the proper category. My apologies in advance.

    Slavery has existed since Neanderthals first learned to communicate with one another. Violence has been and continues to be the primary catalyst in enslaving certain populations, usually based upon race or ethnicity, and even individuals that differ in some preconceived and prejudiced notion from the majority of the population. Through the centuries as humanity evolved into an orderly civilization governed by factions of political and militant force, the civilization also advanced their methodology for enslavement. Extensive research suggests slavery exists dominantly in this modern era than any other point in history. Violence continues to prevail in its truculent manner to own another individual, stripping them of all autonomy and freedom of choice. Regardless of what type of slavery is enforced, the systematic logistics of this blatant violation of free will is derivative of the various and archaic practices used throughout history. Extortive forms of chattel slavery such as, sex slaves, penal servitude, forced marriages, and even conscription, are the dominant disturbances to the progression of humanity and should be the primary target for complete eradication. Through continuous efforts of law enforcement, militant forces, and civil activist groups, slavery is currently in the scope of lawful justice to abolish it in all its variations.

    But another passive and much less grave form of slavery that is widely accepted as a societal normality in a modern cohesive civilization is flaunted or kept secretive in some cases. And it has created inequality in a progressive society, although it is necessary for the structure of a productive economy. But it is cleverly and deceptively disguised as capitalism, when in actuality there are subtle and distinguishing inclusions of socialist and feudalistic constructs. This form of modern-day slavery is characterized by preconceived biases that negate originality, while enforcing poverty and propaganda. Nothing in the universe is original; all concepts, ideologies, and philosophies are derivative of prior established notions. The only freedom from enslavement of the mind is differential configuration, meaning originality is limited but has the ability to implement completions of these prior concepts. Each individual has the potential to manipulate originality to supplement their own perceptions, thus justifying their biases they have based upon another’s concept or idea. In a sense, free will is an illusion that procures humanity’s need for control in all capacities. The predilection of humanity is to facilitate this illusion so that their organized chaos is able to be accepted and reasoned. However, this fallacious method of existing ensures the human mind remains a slave to propaganda provided by governments, advertising, and recreational entities. It is highly improbable that navigating the psyche through various archaic and modern practices intended to hinder freedom, that one will find absolution in a convalesced but fallible normality. These practices are socially accepted and instill contrived psyches, condemned to menticide. The solution lies within the very procurement that begat this method of control—menticide. To prevail forth, menticide is necessary for freedom from menticide.

    Although the methodology for extinction of this mental coercion may appear invasive in the regard that it explores the depths of one’s unconscious mind, it is the most logical and efficient alternative. By allowing one to choose freedom by their own volition, without conditioned ideas and suggestive assimilation mandated by societal conformity, shall induce a breed of newfound originality, as much as possible. Remnants of history will decisively effect this change as well; however, the objective is to eradicate this unoriginality in minute measures. Thus, it is imperative that molecular intervention facilitates the unbiased concepts that have been established once menticide has been performed. And once this process has been successfully completed, there may exist provocation of altered interventions of a slightly less convoluted originality. It is the prerogative of each individual to implement said originalities into a constructive domain that evokes value to their life, to provide the most possible freedom. Upon extinction of the coerced menticide that each individual is exposed to since birth, thereby eradicates the predilection for specious activity that yields a hindered cognition. The process to consciously engage in menticide may be challenging, especially for those who have not secured a strengthen psyche. To do so, one may apply the concept of an effective medical procedure (as well as an agricultural procedure) known as inoculation. The primary objective of this theory is to allow introduction of a pathogen into the system as a preemptive measure, in order to establish a strengthen immunity or protection from the aforementioned pathogen. It is now commonly applied in behavior therapy and accepted as empirical treatment for treating various anxiety disorders. This specific psychotherapy practice is called exposure therapy, where the objective is to gradually reduce pervasive anxiety to an eventual extinction phase, by implementing systematic control of the triggering stimuli that evokes the conscious response of anxiety from an individual. Currently, there exists within this exposure therapy, several subsets with the same objective—extinction of the targeted behavior. As many of these practices follow the structure of conditioning techniques (both classical and operant), it is imperative that a functional analysis be established, as to determine the correlation, or even the direct cause that is enveloped in the unconscious, thus manifesting in a specific behavior as a direct result. This is essential to employ menticide and facilitate the extinction of the behavior and maintain the developed and desired result. By doing so, then allows an individual the ability to have strengthen their psyche to substantially decrease the chance of undergoing menticide again.

    Exploring eclecticism should also be considered in this matter, as to consider all possibilities in a tenable manner, as that all measures have been analyzed thoroughly and elucidating all contingencies. Definitively identifying all factors that led to the previous menticide and ensuring they no longer elicit the previous effects from which an individual was psychologically manipulated is essential to new growth and uncharted terrain from within their primal psyche. The primal psyche is which an individual is to abide by. However, this is conclusively fallible due to the societal constraints in modern civilization. Therefore, it is imperative that one undergoes menticide to avoid a menticide—one that hinders personal and communal growth. This demarcates the conceptualization between objective reality and perceptual cognitive contradiction, allowing the facilitation of expansive opportunities within one’s personal psyche, as well as communal growth as applicable. Obtaining and verifying variances in the fundamental structure of menticide will assist one in preparation of the process itself. However, strategic implementation of faux variations within this process will likely result in a false contradiction, thus extending to an undesired regression of the psyche in its entirety (not just facets of). Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that all considerations are extensively and properly deducted to provide empirical contradictions that will manifest during the menticide process. This precise and intricate extrapolation of empirical contradictions will allow a bias to exist, which is omitted by most academia; however, the chance to construct a psyche in the exact manner one should desire, can be purposeful in perceptualizing the concept of growth and actualizing its operational definition, even. Since originality is virtually nonexistent, and biases are programmed via a subtle, albeit strategically guided form of menticide, it can therefore be established that one’s bias (es) may coexist with one’s preconceived notions of what is worth enduring the complete process of menticide.

    In order to achieve communal growth, considerations of altruistic and stoic principles should be implemented. Remaining free of all coerced stimuli that each individual in modern society is inevitably exposed to since birth, is a daunting, albeit achievable task. Utilizing proper psyche priming techniques and the formidable desire to undergo menticide in order to construct one’s own perception of freedom and will is a task few will employ for themselves. But humanity was never meant to be chained to any faction or cognitive irritants created by the natural industrialization and modern progression. It is essential one remains free from all cognitive damaging associations, and also always strive to solidify one’s unique position in the world—as unique as one may achieve in this world that has been tainted by every thought ever conjured by all humans throughout the history of recorded time. There will always remain the prevalent cost of evolution—originality and uniqueness are now nothing short of mythology. A mythology that has been told repeatedly in infinite forms. But that doesn’t negate the will to enhance one’s own perception of freedom. And it is because there exists no such concept of originality, one invests the interests that evoke the utmost appreciation of sapience, thus establishing a de facto, yet arbitrary and narrow path that closet mimics the concept of freedom and will that break the shackles of oppression.

    Once the shackles that censored your full potential are eradicated, one can find a newfound sense of freedom and expression—one compatible with communal welfare and growth. A renewed existence that one can be certain in its merit and intentions, ensuring they are prepared for any societal refutations to their self-assurance from which they can claim is truly only theirs and reinventing the archaic and damaging methodology of the past. The future is now a reinvented construct where individuals may collaborate to hold one another accountable for their personal progression, as to ascertain a future where individuals no longer have to blindly accept fallacious philosophies as a means to live a fulfilling life. Eventually, a global social reformation will occur, and once all concepts damaging society and the physical world have been thoroughly eradicated, then the strength of the intellectual revolution shall prevail. And the atrocities that once plagued humanity will be looked upon in history as a lesson which should remain dormant, so long as each individual continues to strive for a future they can live with in sync with their socially progressive practices.

    If this is satire, it’s brilliant.

    I only say that because a litany of obvious moral problems arise from the premise, much like Swift’s “A Modest Proposal”.

    What are you offering for discussion? I would suggest keeping opening posts shorter and more concise. You will have an opportunity to get to all your ideas and points out as the discussion grows, but this sort of long winded approach is mot encouraging for your reader. If I were to disagree with you, where would I begin?
    Can you distill your POV into something more...pointed?

    I can see how it can be interpreted as such. I should revisit the piece and take that into consideration upon revision. I appreciate your candor.

    I'll definitely take use of brevity for the next discussion I post. I browsed the other discussions and thought this might be a place for critique. Thank you though.

    this is a beautiful and thoughtful post. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Many people cannot understand the coercive elements of our modern society, and they are of the opinion that we are "free," when clearly, the majority of people are anything but.

    Eventually, a global social reformation will occur, and once all concepts damaging society and the physical world have been thoroughly eradicated, then the strength of the intellectual revolution shall prevail.

    I hope you are right

    Thank you. I'm glad to see you saw merit in the post. And I have hope (which is a rarity in itself for me) that the quoted excerpt should come to fruition. Especially in this generation (mine). It's part of a larger piece that I'm currently working on. So hopefully it can begin on a molecular level.
