Then you are blind. Every day, we are bombarded with advertising, messages,
and memetic influences that keep us enslaved to materialism. Why do I live
such a self-destructive life that I can't seem to find a way to escape?
Mainly because I'm a powerless, corporate pawn. I don't want the life that
I have- but I know no way out, at least none that looks very appealing the
minute I step out into the cold Minnesota air.
