These are the kind of deep thoughts I spiral into even during mundane moments.

I can't help it, it's just how I’m built.

We are being harvested.

The Butcher Story:

During a visit to Mexico, my cousins and I were walking to a Carniceria (a Mexican butcher shop) and one of them was explaining how he had learned the 3 ways to kill an animal in order to eat it.

He explains:

“The first way is by breaking their neck, you do this you do that blah blah blah. Second is by cutting the jugular, this, that. And third is by smashing them in the head.”

After he was done I asked him if the knew the 4th and most modern way to kill an animal?

"You give it a purpose, but you give it only enough to make it towards the end of his path, then throughout the way you let them reproduce, multiply, and indoctrinate themselves into a self perpetuating cycle where they ultimately kill themselves, all meanwhile making them think this idea was theirs. Now you can eat forever without raising a finger."

All my cousins looked at me with their eyes peeled way open in pure shock.

Systemic Control:

Modern slavery represents a system of control that operates without physical chains or overt coercion. It functions through psychological and systemic mechanisms that exploit individuals while maintaining the illusion of freedom and choice. This concept relates deeply to the theory that humanity is often trapped in self-perpetuating cycles of exploitation, driven by systems designed to harvest human energy, creativity, and labor that benefits consolidated power.

At its core, modern slavery thrives on:

1. The Illusion of Purpose: Individuals are given tasks and roles that appear meaningful but primarily serve the interests of the system. These roles create the appearance of autonomy and achievement while ensuring compliance and productivity.
2. Self-Perpetuation: The systems indoctrinate each generation, ensuring their continuity. Education teaches conformity, media reinforces societal norms, and economic structures tie survival to perpetual labor and debt.
3. Exploitation of Reproduction: Just as livestock reproduce to sustain agricultural systems, humans are encouraged to raise families that perpetuate the cycle of labor, consumption, and compliance.
4. Psychological Shackles: The most insidious form of control is one that feels voluntary. People believe their choices are self-determined, even as those choices are heavily influenced and constrained by systemic structures.
