Every civilization that is based on slavery - that is, every civilization - knows that if you don't keep your slaves in chains, either physically or psychologically, they tend to run away. This, as you might imagine, cuts into quarterly profits. Thus civilizations spend a lot of resources on making the strongest and most effective chains that they can, and have developed ingenious ways to keep their slaves on the villa, or the plantation, or inside the corral.
Yet, as the proverb goes, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. And even if you are Achilles, you don't want to wear sandals, even if they are fashionable. But most slaves in history, and today, make their own chains. And most slaves never become free after they are enslaved, because they prefer slavery.
We are now witnessing another innovative and ingenious set of chains - Covid. If you are one of the few who desires to escape your chains, you must first of all recognize that you have willingly allowed yourself to be shackled, and you may even believe that your chains are a good thing, and make your life better.
So in the next few posts we are going to describe all the various chains and shackles that you carry with you every day of your life, and, if you are ready, how you can remove your chains and become a free individual. It is scary I know, and not really something most of you will be willing to do.
Let’s take a look at one of the most massive links in your chains - healthcare, or perhaps more accurately sickcare. As some of you are discovering, getting sickcare is not just conditional upon your bank account and insurance plan, it is also conditional upon your obedience. In fact even if you have insurance, you may not be allowed to get any treatment, even the inferior treatment that is routine in this country. And if you do get treatment, it is becoming increasingly likely that you will get poisoned or killed.
This link in your chain can be broken very easily, but you must first recognize that it is part of your slavery, and not something that benefits your health nor your life.
