How to programme the unthinking to think the way you want them to think


Heheheh. I think many people would not like what this statement implies and would not think they have been programmed to think by other people. The pathetic truth is that many have been programmed unknowingly, unconsciously, and are not aware of it.

Let me just quote one simple example. Singaporeans like to complain, like to kpkb. So the top talents turn around and said, if you want to complain, please come out with a solution. It is so easy to complain, but no one wants to offer any solution. So the buck is passed back to the complainant. You see, just because I am paid several millions, it is not my job to solve your problem. It is you the complainant to solve your problem, if you want to complain. Passing the buck is a carefully honed skill you know. Now the monkey is off their back and back on the back of the complainants.

And this is what unthinking Sinkies have been programmed to accept and think it is right that the people who complained must come up with a solution, if not just shut up. It is not the responsibility of the people who are paid millions to do his job to come up with the solution. And the silliest of it all, you are a nobody, you come up with a suggestion, and you think it can get implemented by a ministry or a stats board? You think as a nobody, people will listen to your solution, you have the in dept knowledge to get a problem solved? If it is so easy for a layperson to offer a solution, it would have been solved long ago. In reality, many solutions are simply rejected for the right reason or wrong reason or because of other vested interests. Not that they are not good, not that the super talents did not think of it. It is just not in their interest.

Now where did I get this idea that unthinking or daft Sinkies are being programmed to think like this, cannot complain unless one must have a solution? I was listening to the Talk About programme hosted by Kenneth Liang, and this kind of thinking came out from a young man. That was exactly what he said without knowing that this kind of thinking was planted in him by people in authority. He must have heard it many times in many reports in the media and in parliament as well. So it becomes a part of him, you want to complain, where is your solution?

See, it is so easy to get such silly ideas in the minds of unthinking Sinkies and it becomes part of their psychic and mentality. And they unconsciously believe that this is the right thing to say. They did not know that no one would take them seriously, maybe some lip service like ‘good idea’, and next please… if they really and stupidly come up with a solution.

They did not bother to know that these people are collecting millions and are supposed to solve national problems, not create national problems and ask the grumblers to solve the problems themselves. Weird? No, just uniquely Singapore. We are brought up in a system of falsehood and false reasoning without knowing what is the better truth or better quality reasoning. They think it is alright and very clever for someone who is paid millions to ask the layperson not paid a single cent, not a professional or expert, to solve the problems raised.

[Straight and Crooked Thinking]


Straight and Crooked Thinking,
first published in 1930 and revised in 1953,
is a book by Robert H. Thouless
which describes, assesses and critically analyses flaws in reasoning and argument.

Thouless describes it as a practical manual, rather than a theoretical one.

Rb, since the buck is passed back to the sinkies, so what can they do next?

How can they pass back the buck to the super elitist talents?

What would be the most effective and efficient means to pass back the buck?

Let's hazard some guess for ways sinkies can pass back the buck to the super elitist top one-in-a-billion talents .....

Perhaps, one way out there is kpkb on line?

What do you think ..... ?

Oops, is the buck being passed around?

Is this a complain or a solution ..... ?

It is true lay person doesn't have a lot of info on hand and therefore whatever solution suggested may or may not be feasible.

It is also true that super talents have a lot of info on hand but at times fail to synthesise them and implement policies full of "loop holes" ......

In the past, many policies that took ages to be implemented still "full of loop holes" and need to be "plugged" with subsequent supplementary measures. So the claim that super talents through having a lot of info do have the solutions to solve problem may not be true and that they have the solutions but not in the interests to solve them. In cases of implementing policies that shortly after need supplementary measures to plug the loop holes, how do you classify such blunders? Super talents purposely shot their own feet or intentionally want to shoot at lesser mortals' already "severely injuries riddled feet" and make them more "hellish"?

Now back to other possible alternative efficient and effective means to pass buck back to super elitist talents .....

How about another "PAP Party" ( Politically Awareness Picinic Party ) at HLP?

Is it effective?

Is it efficient?

Can it help common sinkies objectives by passing the buck back to super elitist talents?

What do you think?

Oops, is that also passing the buck?

Is that a solution or complain, btw?

A simple formula. If you have a $1 problem, you at most spend $1 equivalent of time and talents to solve it.

A million dollar problem, you commit a million dollar of talent and time to solve it.

You don't send 20c of time and talent to spend several billion dollars on something, right?

You imagine got people throw several billions when approached by some conmen and lost their pants! Due diligence done? Or just spent OPM because the conmen were so angmoh looking? Must be good stuff.

Please change "pass the BUCK to pass the BUG". When we received the BUG, we will be busy scratching our body, no more time to ask "wrong question", they do not want to answer.

So what is the best way to pass back the buck to the super elitist talents?

Whether it is alright or not to be paid millions but not delivering the right quality and quantity of work is not a forgone conclusion lah .......

Isn't PE BE in Jan 2013 a good example?

Btw, besides waiting for every 5 years or a drop from sky BE or some "itchy birds" to catalyse more "resignations and BE" etc, what other effective or efficient means to pass back the buck?

Well articulated, as innocent as one may be, many are reacting accordance to their crafted subconscious manipulation. They are shifted the burden of proof, without the skill of good reasoning and the knowledge of fallacious counter argument, 'daft' sinkies can only accept 'shutting up' or 'LLST'. They also crafted this propaganda of "don't blame govt for everything" and spread these nonsense propaganda repeatedly, uneducated ones without access to higher education in political sociology, they go around instilling this to others.

Not only this tactic of shifting the burden of proof to ordinary sinkies, they use the reciprocity manipulation as well, and sinkies become grateful despite for some of the most absurd exploitations. (GST is to help the poor, COE is to help you own cars, Foreigners is to help create jobs, NS is a privilege for citizens, Pay highest ministerial salary to prevent corruption, Every unit HDB sells, they lose money, To succeed we have to bite the bullets, not one but at least 3 bullets, We need to 'reflect' when foreigners call us dogs, etc)

Furthermore, they craft this 'Bandwagon fallacy' that concludes a proposition to be true because majority people believe it. Majority consensus does not make something false become true. Then sinkies accept it thinking it is alright because "__insert a country has the same problem so it is acceptable__". Thinking about it now, it is laughable.

Internet media is changing the socio-political landscape and finally awakening many sinkies to the truth. It's about time.
