An Introduction to the Linear Scam
I’m guessing you have, at some point or are currently, exchange your time for money. Like most people you know this as normal. But deep down you probably don’t feel like this is right. Instinctually, you feel abused and neglected by this unfair exchange. You receive an hourly compensation for your work. You work longer. You make more money- but at a cost. You work less. you make less money- still a cost.
Automatically you contemplate the ways to increase the money you can make each hour. Or increase the salary. Well let’s go down the list. There’s-
- University
- Trade School
- Workshops
- Experience
All of which will increase a salary or hourly income. What if I was to confess to you, that it’s all a scam? A scheme. A large-scale systematic plan or arrangement for attaining some particular object or putting a particular idea into effect.
Let’s dive into this a little more, shall we?
A large-scale, hmmmm is that a synonym for corporation? Perhaps, but that’s not to say that all corporations are evil, dehumanizing entities. I think the skyrocketing CEO pay is a deliberate attempt to direct anger and outrage away from profits. If we passed laws restricting CEO pay, you wouldn’t see wages rise significantly. They would just find other ways to compensate CEO’s to get around the new laws.
If you take a company like microsoft, which may pay it’s new CEO 30 million over the next year, and split that up among its employees, it doesn’t amount to much. Now consider 5 to 10 percent of Microsoft’s profits split over all their employees.
systematic plan or arrangement, think over your education. Particularly your high school experience. The arrangement of classes was to prepare you for the workforce, in which you would enter into after high school, or perhaps college. How did they help you plan for your higher education. Perhaps they nudged you into prep-classes and rigorously drilled tests/quizzes into your memory. All while repeating the preconceived notion of,
“You’re gonna need to know this in college.”
“If you want to go to college”
“If you don’t go to college”
Just that. Those who didn’t go to, or finish college. Are they all burger flippers, like you’re salary wielding teacher had warned? And what about those who seek university as safety? What about all the information they said you would need but didn’t?
For attaining some particular object or putting a particular idea into effect. Whatever you experience in college. Whether you attended or not. That object you may not have thought about attaining as a small child, was still a particular idea that was prodded at you throughout family gatherings, sporting events, parties, etc.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
“What classes are you taking?”
“What are you thinking about doing after high school? After graduation? After college?”
Never did the questions come as, “What are your passions?” Because they knew you wouldn’t be able to afford a passion.
Never did they quizzically ask you, “What do you want to change about the world?” Because they knew that you would give up your time hour by hour with no time left to change even your life.
That object you have been preconditioned to attain for your entire life is a job. With this job you may struggle financially, or mentally. Most likely both ways. With this job you will regret as you waste your life away spending more time with you coworkers than you family. With this job you will be scammed out of your life.
