HOW TO TRAIN YOUR ZOMBIE
CASE STUDY 3: Ed the Christian
I am convinced that I could have asked him, “If your car was on fire and you didn’t know it would you want me to tell you?” I still would not have gotten a straight answer from him. Not because he is stupid or didn’t know the answer. He knew the answer to every question should have been, “Yes.” And any rational person would have followed up with a question like, “Why do you ask?” But he was more than just disinterested. He was evasive. He was afraid that each question was a trap – a trap that could easily be shrugged off with a laugh or a roll of the eyes, a click of the tongue, etc. But an intelligent schizophrenic has trouble with that. A bird knows when you are shooting at him. A fly knows when you are about to swat him. He senses it. Ed knew it. I could feel him squirm. He lost his ability to make jokes. His mind was in a panic. He has spent his whole life avoiding this type of confrontation. The others that were eavesdropping did not know what was really going on but he did and I did.
The adult would not emerge no matter how hard I pulled on his arm. He went to ground and would not come out. This is why the current administration surrounds themselves with reporters who ask “soft ball” questions. They maintain the theater performance and stick to the script verbatim because they fear the breaking of even one schizo spell might be contagious.
The lesson learned? I am reminded of that movie called Blade Runner based on the Phillip K. Dick novel where detectives question human-looking androids and can make them reveal themselves by instigating certain unpleasant emotions to cause an overload of their conscience circuits.
Zombies have difficulty answering questions with absolute iron-clad answers regarding their own opinions. They have been hit with so many double bind traps that they fear their own opinion may be wrong or unacceptable and they will never be loved if they reveal it to anyone. They need it to be spoon fed to them. Individuality is impossible. Uniqueness is dangerous. You might be wrong and never recover.
That is why political correctness is necessary. It provides a curtain of faux pseudo-politeness that they can hide behind to shield their vulnerability. The Beast System would fall apart without it. They believe the zombies would have melt-downs. In fact, I believe that our overlords are planning to take down the screen of political correctness at some point for the purpose of sparking off a massive world-wide civil war/disturbance –WWZ –where all the zombies lose their marbles.
But the lesson has other practical applications too.
