speak for yourself.

I am a conglomeration of media input

Beats living in cave hoping for some mastodon meat and dying at 27. Or being one of the billion people on the planet without running water. If you don't want your office job, a thousand others do.

It's okay to critique the system and your place in it. Okay?

A corporate media system surrounding my whole life and the lives of others in bringing us to see the world as it wants us to see it.

The Doom encapsulates all within itself turning all into itself. Control environment control peoples.

Secular or religious, the mark of a developed culture is that belief systems are imposed on the members of the community and the interpretation institutionally determined. Always has been; always will.

The biosphere was contaminated to power's favour. I came up through a farm system of slave. I was at war yet did not know it. Programming went in and directed the thinking ship.

Corporate Rule

Evil American bullshit. Corporates are the most worthless people on the planet. They create nothing. They wear 'power' clothes to make themselves feel important, and give their jobs phony names that sound impressive to idiots but essentially mean nothing, all while speaking in a faux 'language' that no one understands, least of all themselves. US 'culture' is like an old Hollywood movie set, where you have only the fronts of the 'buildings', but nothing behind them.

But it's global, not just in the US. It's everywhere and is transforming society and people.

That's because American 'culture' is a cancer that's spread all over the planet. Eventually there will be only one global culture--the shallow, bland, artificial American one. It's known as 'dumbing down'.

Making Life shallow is hard work. You have to occupy all space (including homes) to make it so. A mediatised biosphere of triviality and illusion.

Most are, but some can think for themselves and walk their own path.
