im really wondering why people think the current state of affairs is at all different to any stage of advanced capitalism we have seen. it's not. we're not special and the problems are not new and unique. its just that there are (arguably) more of us aware of those problems. |
I never made mention of what people need or don't need?
People need food, clothing, and shelter.
I was expounding on the current state of the affairs and the causes and effects thereof...
I will however argue that there are many poisons in this world which will promote a generally more negative overall energy for our species. Just being aware of them is usually the first step to promoting healthy change.
