Nairaland GeneralRe: Is The Earth A Slaveyard by budaatum: 9:30pm On Apr 27
To your questions, deepsight. Is The Earth A Slaveyard?

Yes, the earth is a slaveyard for some. For some, their sole reason to exist is to be slaves. A certain fictional book describes them well.

That same book describes their masters too since slaves must have masters.

The imaginary fictional "God" is of course an attempt to justify the earth being created that way so some may lord it over some.

Knowledge is power. But who owns the power?
Most times, people believe they are enlightened and laughs at the perceived ignorance of others. That, on it own, is a higher form of ignorance. Many claim ignorance is bliss. This is because an ignorant person can not be controlled.
Actually, an ignorant person is the most controlled human on earth, I'd have you consider.

thesolutions:
But an enlightened person is doomed to seek for more enlightenment. They offer them selves to more controlling thoughts that massages their ego and ......
This is interesting.

It's like you are claiming that the use of ones mind makes one a slave to one's mind, which I think would make one a slave to oneself who is one's master.

What say you?

thesolutions:
This might not be related. But no ignorant person debates about flat earth and round earth. No ignorant person talks about spirits and the multiverse. These are false knowledge pretending to be enlightenment.
In the end, it is all about work/play, food and rest. That is all that is common between the enlightened and the ignorant naives.
Would the the enlightened not be able to feed themselves how the ignorant never might be able to?

Would the ignorant naives person even have enough or as much food to eat as the enlightenment might, or be as content with as little as each other?

thesolutions:
You don't have to be ignorant. But if enlightenment becomes torment, you have derailed.
I think if enlightenment becomes torment, one is simply ignorant.

And the fact you say otherwise makes me want to ask you to define "enlightenment" and "ignorance", because your use of the words is contradictory to what I presume them to mean especially since I assume, from what you've written and which has provoked me to quote you and respond to, seems to come from a completely unignorant intelligent and enlightened person who does not only think "about work/play, food and rest".

Or a prison for souls.

Or a farm.

Because looking dispassionately at this world and this life, it does not seem to be created for altruistic purposes.
"Created" is an assumption that implies a creator, and from your above, one that shows a selfless concern for your welfare, but I can't say that I have observed or experienced a world that is concerned about my welfare.

Its not like a hurricane or a volcano would consider my welfare and send me a warning to move out the way before it erupts, and the rain hardly tells me if it will water my crops or not.

DeepSight:
The very fact that highly intelligent conscious beings could be kept in a total blackout about their own reality is telling.
Is it? I guess it would be if the creator of the world is altruistic and then does the opposite of altruism by keeping highly intelligent conscious beings in total blackout.

Kind of makes me ask if beings are "highly intelligent and conscious", if we can so easily be kept in darkness about the reality we experience.

DeepSight:
Let us share a number of fringe theories about the meaning and purpose of Earth life here.
I'd say earth life has only one single purpose, and that is to extend its living for as long as it can until the inevitability of death catches up with it.

As for meaning, life means what each individual determines life means for them.

FBI is law enforcement doing the legal work of crime prevention

Why is SPLC A non profit paying racist

If you dont know the difference between FBI and SPLC then you are even more confused than thought
SPLC hands the information it gathers to the FBI who then prosecutes those SPLC paid to get information from, and now the racists are crying about SPLC.

Why don't you compare Nigeria's minimum wage to those countries also. Nigeria is battling high inflation and has a very low purchasing power index compared to those other countries, yet you're here saying rubbish.

Just open mouth waaahh
Pity you do not understand that high inflation and being low on the purchasing power index has nothing to do with the percentage of tax you pay.

But please remind yourself to come back to see my mouth in 5 years time when you are paying more tax to pay back the debt the current government is collecting. It might make you feel the need to understand why.

I don't think we Nigerians are aware how little tax we currently pay compared to others, and by how much it is going to rise.

The planned rise in tax is in fact the reason we are being lent money.

How would any one of you here would feel if you were treat like this young man.

Lets join together an fight our greatest problem.
Corrupt political elites and corrupt political, social and economic system which has hinder Nigeria from accessing and enjoying its basic needs.

Because of your mentality my advice to you is to get that expensive lawyer and go to court 🤣

You will not be the first or last whose case is stuck out for lack of merit.
Even if my case were struck out for lack of merit, I'd have already made my point.

Besides, we already agreed my lawyer would not be expensive, because, as you said, "any serious royal in this country thought that guy had a case they will take up his problem without fee because the cash out will be huge"!

So all I need do is find a serious lawyer who thinks I have a case.

Nigerian factor is the cause of it.
We yell, corruption, then cry at the effects of corruption as if we don't expect it to cost us.

Just the other day, I dreamt of getting the underground train from Ibadan to Oshogbo, did my business there, and then got another underground train to Ilesha and then to Abuja and another one to Kano.

When I woke up I thought of the cost of drilling underground track 100 metres under my house and how much to charge for it. Just 10 kobo plus annual inflation on every ticket should provide me with a good enough livelihood for my tenth generation. I did wonder how much tickets would then be though.

Who has sued Nigerian politicians for ethnic descrimination?
The leaders do it openly, so they should expect the worse
I would not be suing a politician. I'd be suing the bus company. And the fact that "leaders do it openly" does not mean I should docilely "expect the worse" and accept it being done to me!

See your brother now, does he not look unkempt? Is he shaven? are his clothes clean? Are his feet clean?
Or do you also need eyeglass to see this too?
Also, he went to 2 different transport companies and the same thing happened, this means he is a body odor dispenser cuz both bus passengers no sabi your brother from Adam.
It can't be a coincidence.

Let me rephrase

Ethnic discrimination is your grieviance but...

1. Who in particular discriminated against you
The bus company.

BigCowHornn:
2. What would you have expected to the issue on ground
That I receive the service I paid for.

BigCowHornn:
You don't just Sue anyhow. One of the first things you answer in court is did you explore all avenues of who resolution
Yes I did. I asked the company to provide me with a service I paid for. They refused.

BigCowHornn:
Are you even swing the right person who offended you
Yes I would be "suing the right person who offended" me.

The bus company offended me by refusing to give me the service I paid for!

BigCowHornn:
If any serious royal in this country thought that guy had a case they will take up his problem without fee because the cash out will be huge
They don't need to be "royal". A smart lawyer will seek out this individual and sue for damages plus cost on his behalf.

BigCowHornn:
But I am telling you that that guy will not get 1 naira from anywhere except his transport money back
You can tell me whatever you want to tell me but I'd rather listen to a judge in a court of law, thank you very much.
