interesting article.
what do they expect.as children, 'they' completely FUCKED US RIGHT over by encoding us to buy happy meals,cabbage patch kids and transformers. we were the first gen. to get COMPLETELY washed by big media and consumerism
its just going to get worse and worse. isolated people completely consumed with their own world and identitiy as a consumer.
why should i care about anyone eles?...i gotta pay my mortgage and insurence and feed my kids.
the srongest lesson i have ever learned when im out backpackin meeting people from a competely different program then ours is that alot of people in our society are competely fuckin evil and cold. but its not completely their fault. they are encoded by media to consume or die.
people of other,developing, cultures dont really have that. they live a relationship based life rather then a consumer based life.
some of the happiest human beings i have ever met us westerns would consider 'impoverished'
deep down inside where it matters the most they are alot richer then we are.
but, our hyper consumerism is a perfect control mech. for our biological mission as humans.
to procreate. drive a nice car,get attention from woman,have sex,make babies,biological mission accomplished.
