8/4/2019 Culling, trends in human behavior

1/2

Culling, is a derivative of the Latin term 'colligere', which simply meant to collect. In the context of

sorting, keeping one group collected for one reason and the other selected for another. Say for instance

you have a harvest of apples. You collect the ripe-healthy apples and place them in one basket; you

pluck out the spoiled and put them in another. You keep the good apples to eat yourself and the spoiled

may be fed to your animal stock: Culling the from the .

The surname 'Cullen' came from this term, which implied that they are something special, if you know

the history (derived from the French) of surnames and their need - then you'll understand. This is where

the 'elite' connotation came from, and was applied to not just people, but animals as well. Heavily used

in the farming/breeding industry. When trying to breed the superior subject from its breed, you remove

the inferior which is judged by a number of characteristics. Anything that is an emanation from the

original degrades; ideally you want to prevent such degradation that you exceed the original in time and

over a number of generations.

What is being misused here is the idea that the 'bad apples' are discarded. In breeding, they are simply

bred in tandem with other breeds, to improve the breed. Otherwise known as the tandem method.

When trying to preserve something, say land or resources - in the wildlife control industry; 'culling'

allows a certain number to be hunted, to thin down populations. Common to ensure the entire species

doesn't starve from a lack of natural resources to feed it. So, its a preservation method. It's not as if the

'elite' of the breed are tagged for preserving while the inferior for destruction. This is a misappropriation

of the term. It is a preserving mechanism, in this context.

Culling in the context of a psychological modality, to cull the inferior from the superior; the criteriatargets groups based on what individuals deem inferior. The mundane, stupid, retarded, race, socio-

economics, politics, etc. Suited to meet the individual's ideals of preservation of a select group. And an

individualized agenda. That agenda may be shared by others, thus those that deem themselves to fit

that agenda, find themselves herded into an ideal that they did not originate. This is why you only find

select individuals supporting specific agendas, they have been collected. Culled. One could argue that

nothing is really original when it comes to human beings, the common question is asked: Do we really

re-invent the wheel? Thus, individuals are 'collected' into schools of thought. Interesting phrase, eh?

" ." Think about that. On one hand, you may have a self-declared 'Elite-class' of

people, attempting to cull back an inferior breed from their midst. On the other, the group forms pack

mentality, and have been culled themselves, even if it targets the weaker class Collects them. The'Elite-class' tends to believe they are superior, simply because of their intellect or behavior patterns.

However, intelligence is putting your knowledge to work for you wisely. Closer examination of each in

the 'Elite-class' may reveal their inability to self-actualize. They are content with playing super-man in

small social circles, Social Networking being one example, in this Electronic and Information Age.

Oh the humanity of keyboard warriors! It's easy to be anything you wish other people to believe in a

virtual environment.

Maybe you are good at it, maybe you suck at it. Some people are easily fooled and some can see right

through the attempt like a pane of glass. If your target is the 'Inferior-class' of people, what the 'Elite-

class' considers fodder, its easy right? It's far more challenging to take on other 'Elite-class' individualsthan it is to target the weak-minded. What does that say about the mentality of the 'Strong-minded'??

So packs form, to poke a classified-inferior with a stick. To what end? For what purpose? If the elitist

recognizes the person being poked as no match for them from the beginning, where is the ?

I think its far more challenging to find innovative ways to provoke and inspire people to come into their

own, than it is to kick them when they are down. Trends are a current. If you see a trend forming, and it

offers you no true benefits in becoming all you aspire to become in this life why ride the raft down the

river? Why aren't you rowing against it?

If it's because you feel uneasy with standing on your own, you have been culled.

If you find yourself joining a pack, for no other motivation than to 'join in the fun', a shameless

pleasure? You have been culled.

If you find yourself wrapped up in a cult of personality, you have been culled.

If you find yourself riding the gossip train, and in the 'me too club', you have been culled.

So once you've been collected, then what? Will you allow yourself to be food for the gods? Or perhaps

you'll just be an apple, allow yourself to ripen and rot as nature intended. There are pleasures that weall indulge in, perhaps picking at the fodder is one of them. There are times in our lives when it is

appropriate to form a pack, to stand-alone, to be the Elite and to be the Fodder. If you tell me you've

never been fodder, I call ! Even if you were that awkward kid in the 5th grade that got picked on

relentlessly until you sucker-punched the biggest kid in your class - you were it.

Look back on the time-line of your life. Who you were then, and who you are now. What does the future

hold? What are you aspiring towards? Will you find yourselves collected? Culled? Will being collected

help you? Hurt you? An opportunity to tread water until you figure it out?

We all have a story. We are not our stories. Show me an apathetic man, and I will show you his wounds.
