The human species has essentially been transformed into a giant machine to generate profit for corporations.

Under capitalism, humanity exists to serve the interests of the corporation. We are all livestock; beasts of burden used to carry margin expansion forward from quarterly statement to quarterly statement. Enjoyment of life has no value other than the extent to which it can be used to increase the net worth of the shareholders.

That’s why everyone’s so unhappy. We’re not living with purpose. We’re not working together to build a better world and a better future, we’re just pulling levers to turn gears to make the arrow line go up on the graph in the conference room. It’s a hollow, pointless way for people to live.

It makes our whole culture vapid and soulless.

    And a lot of new music I experience doesn’t follow the formula you prescribed.

    Well done, you’re listening to a group than makes less than 5% of the money mentioned earlier.

    You should broaden your world view.

    It’s always the densest, point-missing people that act the most condescending and rude when you thought you were having a good faith discussion. Blocked
