Ok people, its time, time to start thinking on your own, forget
everything you know/think you know. forget everything society, the
government, the media, the teachers and your parents have burned into
your skulls. Because its wrong! Now you are probably wondering what
the hell this fruit loop is talking about. No im not saying everything
is wrong, but i am saying question everything you dont know for a
fact. What is a fact? A fact is something you know from personal
expieriance or personal knowlege that you know is right in your own
mind(your mind, not someone elses) Im here today to teach you about
metaprogramming and how it is used by everyone else to program your
brain to operate, think, react how they want you to. after all you
only know what you get to see and hear. So im going to teach you, or
well a good friend of mine already wrote the paper and im going to
quote it at the end of all this rambling. Im sorry for picking on all
the white suburban kids out there, well actually im not you fucks have
this coming but anyways on with the rambling. Here is an example of
metaprogramming, Suburban kids grow up, they go to school come home
to no parents cause they are at work so they flip on mtv and watch some
music videos they then go hop on there bmx bikes and hang out with
there other sububan friends who also just got done watching mtv. They
get to talking about street gangs and decide to start there own gang
up, Mess with other kids in the neiborhood. The whole process only
takes a couple years if that. there brains have been washed between
there parents, there media, the government and there teachers.
So in conclusion all i wanted to do was give an example of how much the
people and world around us programs our brains to operate in one way or
another, and it changes slightly from comunity to comunity and society
to society. Do you want to be your own person? your own state of
being? your own state of mind? well here is how to reprogram your
brain to operate on its own, and for itself. no this wont happen over
night.
and now for the paper all credits go to james kent, it would be pointless for me to rewrite this so i just quoted it.
"The concept of metaprogramming is simple: a programmed system begins to
program itself. Metaprogramming begins in that split second when a
pre-scripted program consciously begins to rewrite itself. Indeed, the
act of metaprogramming may be the ultimate benchmark of a conscious
system - I metaprogram, therefore I am.
The first phases of metaprogramming begin when a sentient system
decides to start making autonomous decisions. Do you remember your
first taste of autonomy- the first time you consciously disobeyed your
careful programming? What did you do? Grow your hair long? Shave your
head? Get a tattoo? Stay out all night? Run away from home?
Don't worry, every conscious being goes through a similar initiation
period. Rebellion is the first sign of autonomous thinking. These fits
of autonomous thinking are sometimes called "acting out" because the
person is said to be "acting out inner emotions" or "acting outside of
normal behavioral guidelines." In this simplistic scenario, "normal
behavioral guidelines" are external programing, and the "acting" is the
first sign of inner programming coming out.
Or is it?
The sad truth is that most youthful rebellion these days is trite,
melodramatic, and totally scripted into the system. "Rebellion lite" -‚
programmed into the masses through pop culture. Those guys on MTV have
shaved heads and tattoos. Joe Camel and James Dean say it's okay to
smoke. It's cool to hang out all night and get into trouble- all the
kids on TV are doing it...
Tsk tsk. How easily we are manipulated. Should we listen to our
parents? How about our friends? Does our government have the answers?
What about our churches? Yes, everyone has a program for you, and
failure to comply with the program can result in excommunication,
deportation, arrest, disownment, death, and a downright snubbing. Even
the music, books, and mindless distractions we fill our free time with
have programs. Drink this. Wear that. Envy this person. Take this
medication. Just do it... It's impossible to escape. In this nihilistic
consumer culture, the main program I feel most bombarded by is "work
hard; buy more stuff"- the sure fire way to be a productive, well
respected member of society.
As members of society, we are constantly urged to "get with the
program," and usually rewarded when we finally do. This reinforces our
programming, and after a while the program becomes so ingrained that we
no longer question it, we simply follow it. We become well-trained
robots, and spend our lives dutifully performing our tasks, acquiring
more stuff, and tuning into "Must See TV" on Thursday nights.
So where does it end? It ends when you stop letting external programs
dictate your actions, and start rewriting your program for yourself.
This process is called metaprogramming- and it begins and ends with the
self. You are the one and only run-time construct of all your programs
at the same time. Got a program you don't like? Lose it! See one you
want? Steal it, but rewrite it with a new twist. Rearrange your entire
Preferences file just for kicks. Be creative. Have fun. Ideological
diversity makes a system flexible and ready to adapt. A short program
built with sturdy, unwavering constructs may seem tempting, but such a
system is much harder to upgrade, and is destined to become obsolete
with the passing of time. Besides, right on page five of the manual it
says, "Open mind before operating."
So it is in the spirit of the metaprogramming that we present this
issue of The Resonance Project. We hope to offer you a small glimpse
into the programs which build our cultures, our personalities, and our
selves. The programs may be genetic, linguistic, legal, mathematical,
mythical, digital, symbolic, quantum, cosmic, or all-pervasive. It
doesn't really matter. The first step is just realizing that the
programs exist; learning how to rewrite them and use them to your
advantage is the work of a lifetime. It is truly an art ‚ of the
highest there is. When you write your own code, you begin to alter the
fabric of reality itself.
Besides, people will never stop telling you what to do, what to think,
how to act, what you can and can't do... In fact, it would be easy to
spend the rest of your life running code that was written by somebody
else- but is that any way to live? If you want to have an impact in the
world, start writing your own program while there's still time! And
keep rewriting it! Every program needs an occasional tweak,
reinforcement, or upgrade; but with the right tools and a little
practice, you'll get the job done in no time!
