>>13657891There was an anon under the trip “diogenes” long ago that was talking about Talented and Gifted programs being used to identify promising youth so they can secretly be kept down their entire lives. I think I slid through the cracks so to speak. Of course, I don't think he was quite correct in his assessment but definitely not entirely wrong either.
Recently, it's been over 10 years since my graduation and sadly all of those kids that were in it are fucked now or seem depressed and unhappy. Abuse alcohol and drugs, grinding at a shit job for mediocre to a bit above average pay, college degree and the massive debt along with it etc. They more or less have lost the spark within them that drives people to accomplish their dreams. They followed the system as they were taught but it ruins people in a way that is hard to describe. Everything I've learned has been self taught almost and I'm actually succeeding in life. I've never been healthier, more spiritually sound, so close to being financially free, physically fit etc.
When I was about 6, I had a dream that lasted years. I remember so clearly, I lived my life in a dream until about 80ish and my mother woke me up for school. I was only asleep for 5 minutes, I used her as a snooze alarm( Just 5 more minutes mom) I had a daughter and a family, it was so real. I cried when I woke up because I had felt the time pass. I have felt deeply connected to something more ever since then, but somewhat lost my innocence at that point as well. Idk if the experience was a part of the light or darkness for lack better of terms. My spark has grown stronger though. I desperately want to lift others in the same facets I described above, it's all I think about and work to complete.
