They’ve not yet internalized the morality of master-slave, higher-lower, ruler-ruled, so the education system’s primary goal is to instill the dominant reality – we are not free to explore and experiment, to ‘fail’ or ‘succeed’ on our own terms. Young children start life as the most free and the most resistant. If we do it poorly, we suffer in increasingly restrictive imprisonment. If we do this well we are rewarded with symbols of success. From the parent who punishes us out of ‘love’, to the God who provides salvation if we are obedient, and eventually to the cops serving us with club and gun, we are FORCED to behave as we are told. It IS better to give then receive.įrom the moment we first tried something new and were thwarted we learned our master was also our savior. Eventually their taking becomes our voluntary giving. Elite who deserve to take what they want by force of will or army. From fairy tales to pop music to blockbuster movies, the spectacle convincingly asserts (never explicitly, mind you) that our lives are both dependent on and in service to a special, powerful, and superior people.
But obedience doesn’t come without significant doubts and varying degrees of resistance, so regularly scheduled reinforcement of this unnatural order is necessary. That is, the Machine-masters’ rules must be unquestioned. Consequently, fantasies repeat throughout history – updated throughout the march of civilization, ensuring a continuous supply of willing subjects who subvert and subdue their wildest dreams to function reasonably well in the death machine of Progress.įor a system of this magnitude to succeed, our complete domestication is required. Only dreams that stay within the realm of the masters’ ordered options can be considered viable. Myths and stories serve as acceptable explanations for a life of increasing subjugation, a life disconnected from all that our imagination describes. Voltairine de Cleyre, The Hurricane Santa Claus is Coming to Town, by Faith Stealer Very swiftly, Now that thy hate is grown: Thundering the sea rolls o’er its shell-crunched wall! The whirled-White sand heaps with the foam-white waves The tide flows in, the wind roars from the depths, White crests curl on the sea-its voice grows deep. Slow clouds are sweeping o’er the blinding light The tide has turned the vane veers slowly round Not yet is thy breath hot, Vengefully blowing The sea complains, but its great voice is low. Not a replacement for the BnR but a decent alternative that saves a little dosh.The tide is out, the wind blows off the shore īare burn the white sands in the scorching sun
Shading shows nicely on most shady inks (even Twilight, though not Pervenche) sheen is exhibited as well, obvious with Lilac and Oku-yama thicker lines on wetter writers, and more subtly on finer lines, as with the Yama-dori. It's not quite as bright as the BnR but show-through was minimal on almost all the inks I tried, with some bleed-through from the usual suspects - slight with Vert Empire and Levenger Claret, slightly more with Dark Lilac and, of course, Pervenche and Twilight. Both pages have a thin border line around the edge which does cut into the usable space slightly. The front-facing side is narrow ruled with a margin line and a subject and date box across the top the rear side is a grid. I was leery at first, the paper wasn't as thick as the BnR but it was definitely better quality than the memo books and the surface felt fairly smooth when I ran my finger over it so I decided to try one out. Last time I was at Walmart, I came across a similar spiral, Blue Sky Smart Notes - double-wire lay-flat, poly covers, a little narrower and a bit taller. I got a couple of the little 4圆 ones, thinking to get rid of the nasty little memo pads I keep on my desk but these little ones are $3 and change. Was so pleased to discover the Black n' Red poly spiral notebooks and finally see what ink looks like on nice paper.
