Many cultures have developed physical education tracks so that they do not have to label so many people as totally useless charity cases just because their capacity for book learning isn't so great. Here in the US people often try to bamboozle me into helping them stabilize the mental traits in the children of their own choices while simultaneously forbidding me to raise any of my own. So I've followed the deeper understanding of the mind as applied to greater salience of physical phenomenon known more widely as sorcery. This has been upsetting to some people who can't understand why I wouldn't sacrifice my own life and the lives of my family for people who have made bad choices regardless of their number or the monitory cost to people of no relation to me when I choose to live.
I have put effort into trying to connect with teachings that used to exist in the cultures of people who routinely attempt to provoke outbursts from me regarding personal space and privacy and not burdening other people with your abusive thoughts and utterances but I'm not gaining a lot of headway in this. I'm not really sure why I still make these utterances sometimes, or rather how to talk about why I do it at this point. I'm not under any delusion that I am trying to minimize bloodshed anymore. I think I'm still trying to avoid collateral damages that come when people just can't process things as it becomes more clear to them and others what is really happening. So I throw words in the air about it, even if they twist in the wind or retelling they may resonate somehow to do some good even beyond my own activities.
But there's a lot of clearing to do. Sherry was saying that they plan to make girls of all of Bubba's kids and I think that would be great really. He's like 20 maybe. Really a little kid in our world, so we are going to have a lot of discussions about why things are they way they are that will involve discussing a lot of different ways that they aren't.
I want my kids to understand how they are not different fundamentally from the children who were not raised right. I'm not sure how to have this conversation with them without being the one to damage the light in their eyes. But its because I want to push them to participate with others to the utmost of their ability I want our way to be the only available "special education" that there is. If our way is not appropriate then I don't think resources should be wasted on people who can be amused with bottle caps in the corner of an old woman's shack somewhere an old woman could use a little extra money to make another serving of porridge who has already grown used to the smell of her own incontinence.
But I also want my kids to know, especially Bubba, that though there is a critical period to avoid a phase of looking pretty stupid for a period of time, this period of time will pass, and the overall difference is pretty close to zero, in the case of our descendants who inherit the longevity potential that we are known more for than our childhood traits. When you really think about it also, the more advanced an organism is the longer it spends in immaturity.
As for higher education, we don't have a dog in that fight. I told one high turd faced grunter the other night about my master's degree and he wants to spend effort to spread a lie that it was taken away from me. It makes no real difference after all that work when no one is salient of the impact of doing such a thing. Dad gives out resources for further education and development but they do not involve paying for university studies. This will not change.
Anyway, there are some of us who aren't really further disadvantaged by childhood abuse, and the period of participation in someone else's mistaken idea of advancement is always brief for us anyway, typically of no lasting benefit. Our practice is to contribute to hostile populations of separatists and divergents among us and let them expel those who they feel that they can make no proper use of, and we have put a lot of effort in sorting through those people and homing them in on how to join us with no significant difference with those who seem to think they were really raised by their own parents of the same ethnicity. That difference typically being people who think that are encumbered by delusions of excessive value in that. Though I'm not saying the value is zero.
