Just curious about what people believe has to be done to fix anything

68. I have mused politically to blank walls many times...

on the subjects of fundamental change. We are now two steps removed. It is not enough any longer to speculate on the parameters of revolution, we now must scramble for a notion of what community is since the I-net and the plunge into social atomization. Fortunately the 2 bell weathers of societal change -- the latest hand-held update, and advertising -- seem to have planed out into linear speed, size, more, faster, cheaper "innovations" on the one hand, and an omnipresent, dull irony on the other. These indicators reveal a bogging down in self-absorbed decadence at discount rates.

The bastards came to lay siege, and found the draw bridge down and the castle inhabitants bowed down to selfies and dawn-to-dusk crap humor. Certainly, the CS is moving to consolidate, but finding no opposition, they are confused as to how to further dress up the teck
stuff as more cutting edge, and how to make things more hepcat like WOW! you know?

The silver lining is very shortly, people will not only see their economic lives as shit all the way to the horizon, but they'll be Bored with it as well.
And boredom in this celebrity culture is dangerous. They sold us on tecky narcissism and stink irony, so they will have to deal with the consequences of spilt gasoline.
