What is childhood? | August 10, 2025
In line with the many other modern confusions derived from the humanist axiom, the concept of childhood is no different, and from the point of view of history childhood is actually a rather recent concept. Sure, in times gone by men where aware of the fact that small people, children, did not posses the same abilities and crucially the same qualities as their grown up counterparts, and this fact prompted men to approach children, small people, differently, and indeed no man in his sane mind would expect from a small person the same ability and courage that he would from a grown up person, and this created a certain barrier between the men of ascendant class and the boys, the children, and this barrier could only be broken down once every boy had made it through the rite of passage into manhood, not adulthood for such a concept did not exist, and with manhood came certain obligations and certain rights against society: for instance, a man is able and was able to take a wife and in many cultures because of the divinely imposed shortage of men a man was able to take multiple wives, and often the richer the man the more wives he could take; but manhood also enable men to embrace the vocation of their fathers and often the community (society) would help build a new home for the boy that has just passed into manhood, and in some cultures that was only for the eldest son and in others it was for all sons. Some of these traditions are still practiced around the world: the Tata Somba of Northern Benin is one example; and the Tofinou People of Ganvie, also in Benin, is another example. In these ancient cultures—technically both of the aforementioned cultures aren't that ancient—these practices are considered sacred and divine and as such people continued through the generations to adhere to them, for if people did not consider their culture to be divine they would surely not continue to adhere to it, but this is precisely what the imperialists seek to do, to create conflict and strife among the people's of the Earth, and especially the people that have yet to be fully colonized, and I believe that both the Tata Somba and the Tofinou people's of Benin should stand as an example of people that have successfully thrown off and out the colonizers from their land, something that is necessary and verily a divine command. In modern times of course, there is no such thing as manhood, as Canadian men have vaginas according to ChatGPT, instead childhood has replaced manhood, and increasingly the period of childhood, that is when a person is considered generally unable and incapacitated, is being extended and extended, and now there is talk of people not becoming properly adult until they are well into their 30's, a time in life when most people will reach the point of having lived half their life already. What this all means is that the serpent is working towards making less and less people capable, but the serpent wish not to make too many people incapable at once, for this would surely in one moment or close to it destroy all fruits of civilization; instead the serpent is looking towards slowly making more and more people incapable. But we've been moving towards less and less capable people for a long time, and a lot of people are claiming that it is a right, a positive right, to be generally disabled and unable but still receive rewards, material rewards for their lack of ability, and this is somehow considered charity? But words lose more and more of their original meaning, which should be taken as a sign of our times – the Kali Yuga.
The whole point of the serpent's enterprise is for the world and humanity to lose their connection with the divine and this includes such things as words, or rather the meaning of words, and the ability of man. I am by no means making the argument that there should be no distinction between children and adults, but I am critical of the view that there is some kind of biological basis for this distinction; the distinction should be between men and boys. The amount of times a man has circumnavigated the sun should not be the basis on which you refer to him as a man or indeed a boy, and numbers such as 18, 21, 16, etc, are really only arbitrary inventions meant to justify and uphold legal fictions that are necessary for the serpent so that he can keep his hold on you and the world. It is surely the case that a boy of 16 years can be said to be a man, if he has shown his ascendant rank to be true and it can then also be said that a man of 5 scores around the sun is still a boy, if he clearly fails to possess the required qualities of any true man, and this is indeed the case with modern men, regardless of their age. This is why I regard the concept of childhood as fundamentally illegitimate for it hides the reality that most men are indeed no such thing; most men are just children or boys that have yet to pass the rite into manhood and indeed most of these men will never do this which is the fundamental reason to why the supply of males so exceeds the demand in modern times that a substantial portion of males have embraced homosexuality. It is surely the case that a certain portion of boys will never earn their rank as men, and those boys did not survive long past the age of childhood, as defined by the liberal paradigm, for most of them did not survive the call to adventure which has been the real rite of passage since the dawn of man, but no longer. I am not making the claim that there might not be substantial developmental differences between men and boys, or adults and children, but many of those differences may have come about by the fact that acquiring courage enables the brain to change in such a way that a boy can grow into adulthood, but I am not a scientist and I am not making a scientific claim.
