| | .:add'a'rant:. | | There's the television. It's all right there - all right there. Look, listen, kneel, pray. Commercials! We're not productive anymore. We don't make things anymore. It's all automated. What are we *for* then? We're consumers, Jim. Yeah. Okay, okay. Buy a lot of stuff, you're a good citizen. But if you don't buy a lot of stuff, if you don't, what are you then, I ask you? What? Mentally *ill*. Fact, Jim, fact - if you don't buy things - toilet paper, new cars, computerized yo-yos, electrically-operated sexual devices, stereo systems with brain-implanted headphones, screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices, voice-activated computers...

| | loved that. (im a little drunk so dont let it go to ur head)
its crazy to see how easily ppl fall into the track. when u become an adult in civilized society there are so many responsibilities that fall into ur lap, and most ppl just react in the way that theyve been watching other do for years. normal civilians (consumers) barely control their lives on a day to day basis anymore, they just fall into a groove that the vampires of society put before them.
its like human fishing. we swim around aimlessly all day and then somebody dangles something in our face. most ppl just bite automatically. others stare and consider the consequences... then bite anyway.
look at this forum for instance. most of the ppl here probly started smoking during adolescence out of a rebellious urge. or out of pure curiosity, either way the act was directly, tho inversely, connected to the cultural norms surrounding them at the time.
choice is an illusion
we only know what has been layed before us.
take away the paranoia: we are direct products of our environment.
take away the pride: we are just animals.
remove all knowledge: i am
smoke a j: all is well |

| | you seem to be fairly interested in the philosophy of choice and freedom in modern society, preoQpydDlusion, i suggest if your into books, buy a book called "the paradox of choice: why more is less" by Barry Schwartz.
good read, slighty different to the philosophies of consumerism, but definetly one of the most relevant philospophicla dabbles ive seen in a long time.
