Generational Conflicts: the clash of inherited ideas.

We all share the same norms, rules and ideas of our parents, since these have been imposed and/or programmed. The only thing that varies is the generation that lives them. The generation of the twentieth century lived through the world wars, in which several countries ideologically united to systematically destroy each other. The generation that lived through that decade of terror was inflated by pro-war ideologies, in pursuit of planetary supremacy. All of our governments and educators were responsible for it. What a man who opened his mouth against war! Millions of people were shot, just for refusing to fight. In the post-industrial world, it would be terrible to hear someone say “let’s go to war,” but we have the freedom to go out into the street to shout it. No one would shoot you for it. Wars have been around since the reality of oblivion was programmed. It is a widespread idea, which everyone shares. Some could be in favour and others could be against. But the idea of war, religion, science, love, hatred, civilisation or origin, are shared ideas. Because they have been programmed. And from the same programming an assortment of thousands of ideas have been reprogrammed from the original ideas.

We live in a society lacking renewable ideas, all of which have been consumed through the ages and generations. Making apology for them, according to the institutional interests of the companies that existed/exist in the different ages of civilised man. So, the original program ideas, furthermore, have been fragmented. That is to say, that politics has been divided into left and right, the spiritual; in different cult groups: religious, Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. Scientists have been fragmented into biological, astronomical, engineers, architects, farmers, etc. And education into spiritual teachers, professors, artists, etc. All have fragmented the original programmed idea hence the social reality we are encountering today, susceptible to being altered by new fragmentations. Since the original ideas programmed as ‘life’ or ‘death’, for example, are not fixed, but rather mutable and changeable in signifier, in space and in time. Given to fragmentation. When we don’t share ideas, in the sense of living them, it is because we are living ideas that the other does not live. You can practice spirituality as a search for truth, and have your father search for it through science. It will be a fragmented shared idea. They may generate conflict, because both ask for a place in the shared but divided reality. The reality of ideas and their apology for being real varies with the generations. Slavery was an idea of moral apology 300 years ago, and two thousand years ago human sacrifice was a common idea among our ancestors, the idea of having a job and forming a family are modern ideas. Over generations we have lived the fragmentation of the programmed ideas, which generate generational conflicts.
