"Domestication (from Latin domesticus) or taming is the process whereby a population of animals or plants, through a process of selection, becomes accustomed to human provision and control. "
What's the difference between this :
Miami Seaquarium Education or Exploitation
"At the Miami Seaprison, we teach children that it is okay to break animals of that silly habit of "being wild" by kidnapping them away from their families, forcing them kicking and screaming into a chlorinated concrete tank, and making them perform ridiculous circus tricks for food (we call it training). All in the name of exploitation and profit. Oh, and education…of course"
and what we do to humans , in this "civilization" ? This Frankenstein monster, in danger to disintegrate at the first power failure :

The difference is : the machine has covered the world, and most people do not know anything else, or do not have the chance to experience anything else. If they knew, or had the chance, 90 % of people would leave this madness , never to return:
Prisoner Exchange
We are told that without education we would be savages, killing each other for food... We perform all kinds of tricks to get food. We don't care why we do it, or what's the result. It's not our problem. We don't think, we don't care, we don't need to think. We are trained not to think.

“We keep running into this,” said one of the boys, Clinton Anchors, 18. Over the past year, he said, he and five other teenagers living together on the streets had taken under their wings no fewer than 20 children — some as young as 12 — and taught them how to avoid predators and the police, survive the cold and find food.
What is going on there ? Is education to blame ? Crazy children helping each other. Why ? Why are they not killing each other ? I mean they are not "educated", why are they what we call "good" ?
A tribe is the natural way people organize when free. Everywhere around us - incipient tribes, groups of friends. Quickly erased by the machine. Or reduced to something with no real substance. Still - at the edge of the machine, where the system is crumbling, wild things start to grow again. Gangs. See Rio de Janeiro. Yes they do not look pretty and still have some machine inside them. Their environment - also is different. But there are some free people, thinking for themselves, and organizing to survive...

The Machine in our Heads--Glenn Parton

From "Columbus and other cannibals":
"The Pawnee : They were a well-disciplined people, maintaining public order under many trying circumstances. And yet they had none of the power mechanisms that we consider essential to a well-ordered life. No orders were ever issued...Time after time I tried to find a case of orders given and there were none. Gradually I began to realize that democracy is a very personal thing which like charity, begins at home. Basically it means not being coerced and having no need to coerce anyone else. The Pawnee learned this way of living in the earliest beginning of his life. In the detailed events of every day as a child, he began his development as a disciplined and free man or as a women who felt her dignity and her independence to be inviolate"

"The Creeks are just honest, liberal and hospitable to strangers; considerate, loving and affectionate to their wives and relations; fond of their children; industrious, frugal, temperate and persevering; charitable and forbearing. I have been weeks and months among them and in their towns, and never observed the least sign of contention or wrangling: never saw an instance of and Indian beating his wife, or even reproving her in anger. In this case they stand as examples of reproof to the most civilized nations . . . for indeed their wives merit their esteem and the most gentle treatment, they being industrious, frugal, loving and affectionate . . .Their internal police and family economy. . .incontrovertibly place those people in an illustrious point of view: their liberality, intimacy and friendly intercourse with one another, without any restraint of ceremonious formality; as if they were even insensible of the use of necessity of associating the passions of affections of avarice, ambition or covetousness. . . How are we to account for their excellent policy in civil government; it cannot derive its influence from coercive laws, for they have no such artificial system."
