Capitalism
is an economic system like others but does it really as simple as it apparently
seems? Since Capitalism gives private ownership to means of production &
their operations for profit by free market & competitions that control the
production of goods & services with less interference from government.
That
leads to each according to his ability to each according to his capital means
anyone can do any work as per his skills & abilities OR what he is willing
to do but he will only earn how much capital he has thus the more capital you
have the more you will earn. It doesn’t matter who works more as long as you
have more capital you earn more in the end. Hence rich getting richer &
poor getting poorer (Money generates Money). According to Adam Smith, father of
capitalism “The essential feature of capitalism is the motive to make a
profit” Capitalism does have its pros & cons like everything in this
world has but today being students let’s re-evaluate & understand
capitalism’s epistemology. Capitalism consists of the following elements
Industrial revolution, bank, stock market & phycology. It is said that
capitalism is a cult & when people are born into a cult their identities
& worldview are hijacked in sophisticated ways. People are raised &
trained to see the world as the system wants them to see it. Their
understanding of themselves & their values in society is shaped continuously
& exclusively through cult programming that is implemented using basic
psychological techniques. Whatever we are seeing or hearing is a dream
with opened eyes & ears. Because the human brain’s basic function is to
dream. We dream round the clock either when we are awakened or sleep the only
difference between when we are awakened is that our dream is within a materials
frame through which we see things in order & when we are asleep this
material frame does not exist & there is always a tendency of constant
changes. So human being is always in a constant phase of dreams. As all human
beings have a collective dream that is known as a dream of this planet which is
in fact a collective dream of different families, communities, cities, and
countries & eventually forms a holistic dream of humanity. The dream of the
planet earth consists of the laws of all societies, their religions, beliefs,
cultures, behaviors, governments, social events & holidays.
Human's Model of
Upbringing & Establishment of Psyche
We are born with this
ability to dream & people who were born before us teach us how we should
dream those dreams which are the dreams of societies. These external dreams
have lots of terms & conditions even when the new baby comes into this world
we immediately grab the newly born attention & start pouring into his mind
our predetermined laws & information. Those external laws are utilized by
mothers, fathers, institutes, and religions to train us on what type of dreams
should we dream. Attention is the ability that enables us to make distinctions
among things to focus only on those things we want to perceive as we process
thousands of things simultaneously but by using our ability to focus We only
stop our minds on those things that we want to process. Grown-up people around
a child grab his attention & through repetition instill their information
in his mind. This is the process through which we learn whatever we know.
Whatever our realities are or our dreams which we think are the realities that
we all learn by our ability to focus we learned what behaviors need to adopt in
society, whom to believe whom not to believe, what to accept & what not to
accept, what is good & what is bad, what is virtuous & what is evil,
what is beautiful & what is ugly & what is right & what is wrong
all these knowledge, laws, ideologies & other things already existed prior
to our birth, to teach us how we should live in our respective societies.
When we are children we pay attention to teachers in school & then going to the mosque (religious place) we pay heed to what Moulana (religious scholar) teaches us & we follow the same guidelines of our parents & elder siblings. They all want to seek our attention & this is what we learn how to grab the attention of others. People's attention becomes our need & as we grow older & this ability to grab attention becomes our competition. Children want to seek the attention of parents, teachers & friends. This childhood habit of attention-grabbing is so entrenched in us that we are compelled to carry it on in our adulthood. External dreams catch our attention & teach us what religion to follow this all start with language through this code we communicate & understand each other when we understand this code our attention traps in external dreams & one human being transfers his energy into another human being it is not our choice to speak Urdu & English or any other language even it is not our choice to follow religion what we have neither it is our selection of moral obligations what we observe on our daily lives all these were already there before we born In fact, we have never given this opportunity to pick & choose whom to believe & whom not to believe, the smallest of agreement what we are obeying we never choose them even we do not choose our names but we agree to obey on that information what we have gathered by other human beings that are in accordance with the collective dream of the world. In case we disagree on this agreement & don’t store this information but the moment we accept this information it becomes our faith & faith is all about accepting anything without any conditions.
This is exactly the way we
learn things in our childhood as a child we believe in all those things
whatever our families teach us. We agree with our elders & our faith
becomes so powerful that this whole faith system captures the entire dreams or
course of our lives. We could rebel against these faiths but we are not
strong enough to succeed from them so in the end we surrender to them &
transform them into our agreements. This is how human beings control &
through this process, we learn how to live life & follow dreams.
Information comes from external dreams to our internal dream & this is how
our entire belief system comes into existence. First, we are taught different
names (Baba & Mama, etc) at home, school & mosques on daily basis &
media also teach us how should we live which behavior is acceptable in society
in other words external dreams teach us how to be a human. We have an entire
concept of what is a woman & what is a man we learn how to judge we judge
ourselves & other people. A child is being trained in the same way a dog
trains. We have developed an entire system of reward & punishment. We are
cultured we are good men or women when we act as per our parents’ teaching else
we are labeled as bad people. When we go against these already made laws we are
given punishment or vice versa. So this constant lingering between rewards
& punishments creates fear in us. We are fearful of punishment or being
left out of the reward. We get rewards we behave as per societal norms we get
the attention of other people & this is how we trap or develop this habit
of constant attention seeking. We feel great when we get reward therefore we
keep on doing those things that other people expect from us so that we keep
receiving those rewards. The desire for reward & fear of deprived reward
compels us to the extent where we start portraying ourselves that are not our
true selves.
In order to make people
happy around us & grab other attentions, we forget ourselves & don’t
spend life rather start acting which we are not because we have this constant
fear of not being rejected by this society that consequently transforms into a
fear of Not being good enough. So we become Xerox of our parents, societies
& religions, laws & all our natural inclination & skills are doomed.
When a child says NO! when he is asked to do a thing or behave as per society's
norms he is actually defending his freedom which he was born in where this
rebellion comes from in a child because he wants to remain the same the way he
is but when we as children start our lives we are so small & weak and are
depended on our grown-ups who are so big & strong we could not do anything
and after some period we become so fearful not to do anything that could be
wrong in the eyes of others & this training technique deep-rooted in our
minds so strong where we don’t require other people to make us followed the
tracks of society. We have transformed ourselves into those animals who
self-regulate so we put ourselves in this prevalent belief system of what we
acquire inherently. Our belief system becomes an unwritten constitution book
for us that governs our minds. No matter how these laws are against our own
natural inclination & morality this book of laws now rules in our minds
& dreams as you observe there is something in us that constantly judge
everything around us. It is our inner judge who follows this book of laws in
which everything is written what we like to do & what not or what we like
to think & what don't like to think in short whatever we do this cruel judge
has stringent compliance with it.
So the model of human nurturing complements capitalism
because it is mainly dependent on psychology: (Training of mind to behave in a
certain way) just to sell its products & in order to shape this Psyche our
education system (Schools) plays a significant role in making an enabling
atmosphere for capitalism because immature & impressionable minds could
easily be controlled & shaped their behaviors, it is rightly said the seed
implants in yearly days of a child's life will mostly remain with him till his
entire lives. It predominately governs & shapes most norms & parameters
of society, for example, Rich people are those who are affluent those who wear
branded cloth, drive luxurious cars & live in extravagant houses whereas if
you are an artist you are not considered to be as rich. This is how capitalism
has changed all these with the help of the education system the core purpose of
education is to awaken the mind to function at its maximum potential to spread
peace & love in society but love that is an emotion now has become the most
materialistic thing in this world because it is commercially viable.
Another most powerful tool
of communication is media vastly being utilized to inculcate this systematic
propaganda in our minds & in this era apparently it is almost impossible to
escape from it & this is how deception comes into play creating illusions
& drill down relentless beliefs into people to convince them to go after
the false fantasy because now in this modern world corporations have to sell
one product or service again & again to the same person that requires a lot
of psychological tactics that will be done by training institutions schools
& media. Lies are repeated until they are accepted without question &
people are so perfectly brainwashed they are started to believe these are those
products they require the most in their lives. In short, capitalism is there
where you find a TV or the use of the internet. This consumerism increases
the love of products that media teaches us through advertisements which
mostly are overrated & exaggerated for selling their products &
services. Why we are stuck in this mess because we have been so effectively
trained that there is no peace & tranquility outside our senses (Sight,
Sound, Smell, Taste & Touch) Or Today’s human beings believe there is no
joy & happiness outside their physical bodies & it is indeed a victory
of capitalism & the moments we will be able to come out from our material
beings' or physical bodies to our conscious level is the time when capitalism
collapses.
