Four Thoughts on Violence is a Meme

Violence is  a Meme

1. We are trained by the School System to feel inadequate and have a need to prove our competence on tests. This is one of the primary behaviors the school system is designed to produce -- a feeling of inadequacy. If you feel inadequate you will make a much more subservient employee and you will not work form a labor union. You will sit and work and not cause problems. Nobody in authority wants a healthy society. You cannot exploit healthy and well adjusted people as easily as the broken and inadequate.



2. When you look at the history of human societies, and human social organization, our society was always organized by fear and violence and never by love and care.



3. The USA has a murder rate that is over ten times higher per capita than any other industrialized country.


4. Violence is a meme that "lives" to replicate itself. The concept of a meme was invented only recently and is similar in concept to a virus. In this case a meme is an abstract thought and action that uses your brain to replicate itself in other people's minds. This is one reason why abused children become abusive adults. Their experience has created a meme that seeks to replicate itself in other people through their own violent behavior.
