One day a strange man arrives at the place where the people of Tribe 1 live.
They ask him: “Who you?”
He: “I King.”
They: “Your name King?”
He: “No; my name John.”
They: “Why call self King if name John?”
He: “I special person, agent of God.”
They: “You look different but not special; who God?”
He: “God creator of world.”
They: “Where God?; How create world?”
He: “God everywhere; God all-powerful.”
They: “How we see God?”
He: “Can’t see God.”
They: “You speak crazy.”
He: “No; I special; I show you.”
Whereupon the stranger performs various tricks like apparently making objects appear and disappear.
They: “You clever man-who-tricks.”
He: “I special; I King.”
They: “You speak funny; you clever John-who-tricks.”
He: “I King; my word law.”
They: “What law? -- special word?”
He: “Yes; my word law-you must obey.”
They: “Ah! You mean order-word!”
He: “Yes; I King; I make law.”
They: “No; you speak order-word?”
He: “Yes; I special.”
They: “What special? -- Anybody speak order-word?”
He: “You not understand.”
They: “No.”
Eventually John-the-stranger gives up trying to convince the people of Tribe 1 that he has a “special status” and that his words are different from the words of anyone else-so he leaves, to search for more gullible and impressionable victims elsewhere...
For many days and nights he trudges through the jungle before discovering the people of Tribe 2.
They: “Who you?”
He: “I King.”
They: “Your name King?”
He: “No, my name John.”
They: “Why call self King if name John?”
He: “I special person, agent of God.”
They: “You look different; what God?”
He: “God creator of world.”
They: Where God?; How create world?”
He “God everywhere; God all-powerful.”
They: “Show special?”
Whereupon the stranger performs various tricks like apparently making objects appear and disappear.
They: “You King, agent of God.”
He: “Yes, my word law.”
They: “What law?”
He: “Law special word of God through me; you must obey.”
Whereupon the people of Tribe 2 bow down and kiss the feet of John-they do not habitually test abstractions against reality, so they readily accept John-the-stranger as their “King” and his word as “law.”
Thereafter all he has to do to subjugate, control, and dominate them, is open his mouth...
“Language creates spooks that get
into our heads and hypnotize us.”
· Robert Anton Wilson, Introduction to The Tree of Lies (by Christopher S. Hyatt. Ph.D.)
“It is hard to fight an enemy who has outposts in your head.”
· Sally Kempton
“The most potent weapon in the hands of the
oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.”
· Steve Biko
The people from Tribe 1 reject the Slavespeak words of John the would-be-terrocrat-making them impossible to subjugate, control, and dominate. To them the terrocrat is merely a clever liar and trickster.
The Tribe 2 people accept John’s word “King” to describe himself. They believe that “King” John has special powers because of the tricks he performs and because of his connection to “God.”
By accepting John’s terrocrat words they automatically place him in a superior position and themselves in inferior positions.
Just by accepting, believing, and using the terrocrat word “King,” they yield their power to the terrocrat-they subjugate themselves.
It’s worth emphasizing that just by accepting the concepts/words of the would-be tyrant, you place yourself at a huge disadvantage. By doing so, you relinquish your power, enabling the would-be tyrant to become an actual tyrant.
Instead of laughing at his silly notions, you’ll probably end up begging him to “change the law” so you can be free.
And guess who has the last laugh!
