Today pretty much everything is dumbed down cars, computer games films, education, role-playing games, everything. Why? Let's find out.^[1] I think that society today is intentionally domesticating us and doing its best to hold our hands through life. And this is not out of benevolence. This is because they want you to be completely dependent on the system. They want you to be helpless when you don't have that hand to hold it.^[2] And therefore everything is dumbed down and people are almost encouraged to be helpless, stupid and dependent. And I'm gonna use role-playing games as an example. In the game that I have played the most, would be a role master, I played it through all the 1980s (second half of 1980s). And this was a complex system. It was mockingly called chart master or table master by others because it had so many tables and charts that you had to use and you have to look up you had a whole book with just the charts for the weapons.^[3] We enjoyed playing and it was no sweat after a while. We got used to the system. We all learned the system. We almost learned it by heart and it was not a problem to play whatsoever. We had great fun. If you take a modern role-playing game on the other hand they have an^[4] incredibly simple system. I'm not talking MYFAROG, I'm talking most modern game. What is defined as the you know "modern games"?^[5] they are incredibly simple they have a system where you are... you can play without doing any calculations because you know, that's too tough for modern people, isn't it? And you can't really die that easily either because you have these boons or favor points or whatever that you can use to^[6] to save your skin. If somebody kills you and you say "I use a "Fate point"" and I'm only injured instead stuff like that. It's just a... A system is intentionally helping the players survive and hold their hand really. And it's not difficult to learn either because "dedication"... You don't want anybody to be dedicated to anything, you know anybody to delve into something and learn something properly, no, you just want them to have this shallow relationship to everything^[7][8] I'm not saying that game designers are doing this intentionally to help the domesticate people but what I'm saying is that there is a trend in our society that leads to this. There's a consensus that this is a good thing that we should all strive to do it this way and if you don't you're old school and you're old-fashioned or you're elitist or whatever.^[9][10] So the trend is that we are supposed to make everything simple and easily understood and this is some sort of... There's a consequence of egalitarianism or this equality idea that everybody should be able to do the same everybody should have equal opportunity and even if you're a dumbass and idiot, you shouldn't be able to play example the role playing games with a system that is so easy that even you can play it. So it's... They're trying to make everybody become a part of it. And it's also a problem with the capitalism. We have this equality idea but also capitalism is a problem here because if you can sell an object to everybody then you can sell more of this object, can't you? And therefore you make more money, and therefore they too have an interest in this. In pushing this trend and the end result is rather catastrophic we are being dumbed down all of us. We are becoming domesticated to such a degree that we are soon completely helpless and probably also unable to sustain any type of civilization because we have become completely useless. Possibly there's a force in the society doing this intentionally, but it might also well be that this is just a natural consequence of modern, high-tech, capitalist society and socialist society. Because in some weird sense we have both.^[11][12] In the past you had to be smart to play a role-playing game because it was complex, you had to have the ability to read some books and understand them. If you play a modern role-playing game any idiot can do it and you don't need to invest a lot of time in that. And of course like I said, this is just an example, I used role-playing games as an example, but it's a case for everything. It's very easy to drive around in a car too. And if it breaks down you just take the garage because God forbid you shouldn't be able to fix it yourself, right? That would mean that you would not need the money to pay the guys at the garage and also you would not need the garage, so it would make you more free. And that's not... That's in conflict with the agenda of those who rule and also the development the natural development of civilization^[13][14] www.thuleanperspective.com
