It Takes Time for Memories to Form
How you going to keep 'em down on the form after they've seen pas riche?
Pas riche is French for not rich and that's just what they'll be if they hang
around those memory farms, the institutional education system of the modern
world.
Teaching has long been the professing of verbal monologs dissertating the topic to be covered in a
class or gathering of students.
Even when examples are used the effect on the true memory is minimal. But
you can speed it up by slowing it down.
A memory is more like our primitive concept of a computer program. It is built up slowly by the formation of chemical memory and then permanent. If the mind is convinced that what is being considered is something that must be dealt with it will then begin to consider aspects of what must be learned. It must develop a foundation from which to spring forth from in the concepts of it's memories.
In the institution, however, a
subject is treated in a certain prescribed manor so that it is said to be
covered. The professor will protest when the students begin to query,
"Why, we've already covered that topic. I won't go over it again, we
have to finish this section in a couple of days...". And so on
and so forth.
This isn't how the mind works. Only a minority of minds can function that way, and they are usually prone to human nature's quirk of exploiting that ability.
Usually in either a life of crime or pushing the envelope of ethical propriety
for self enrichment or power. Of course that isn't to say the institution
is doing that on purpose. Who would insinuate such a thing? Don't
look at me. I came from a time when you could still drop out of charlatan's
nightmare. While their little minions, their little darlings matriculated
to be unleashed on an unsuspecting world, their incompetence sheltered by their
diploma.
You may inquire that they're entitled. After all, some might protest, survival of the fittest, right? These are not the fittest. The brilliant student in our present system of scholasticism is merely another
aberration of the human species. In fact, the superior quality of humanity is weeded out by these weeds. They must have eaten their
weedies. The garden is now nothing more than a briar patch. That's
okay, at least br'er Rabbit can live in there. But forget
civilization. Forget the golden age and all that. There's nothing
left but the professors and their mutants that are just really good at passing
written tests and scholastic equivalent exams.
Learning is the cumulative effect of memory. And to get memory you have got to obey the natural laws of the physiology of the human mind. There's no way around that except to pretend; to just fake it. You have to have a diet of wild fish like the ancient Greeks did, you have to deal with the tactile like Socrates the stone cutter did, you have to take time to allow the natural mind to take it's natural time to form the natural memories that will be the underpinnings of a good strong mind and the strength of character all those charlatans are so damned scared of.
You have to dispense with the droning lectures and produce material dealing with the subject that is not only fascinating but also that which gives air to the reflections of the human mind. You have to depart from the stilted conceptualizations of the human preconceived prejudices and start doing the real honest hard work of going about performing the esoteric science and research that will reveal how the mind really works and how memories form. Unless, of course, you never intended to do that in the first place. Unless, of course, your only goal was to destabilize the middle class into becoming nothing more than a consumer society with only enough education to read the road signs.
