Your article is completely correct. It is also completely logical. It is alsocompletely sane.
It is also intelligent. It has a perspective. It has a perspective of the entire Earth as a whole...
However: how many people on Earth are completely logical, and completely sane, and completely intelligent? How many people have a perspective of the entire Earth as a whole?
Very, very few.
So...
You have shared this article with people on this forum.
All of them have ignored it or spat on it. Simply because they are not logical and sane.
You have failed to take the NEXT step after sharing this article.
What you need to do now: is find people who agree with your article. and get together as a single group that not only shares with you this perspective and understanding...
But actually become ACTIVE about it.
You cannot stop the monster of consumer capitalism by YOU not being a consumer.
You cannot stop millions of people drinking coffee so their emotions are short-cicuited by their over-active mental activity: by YOU not drinking coffee.
You cannot solve this problem by doing nothing.
You have to actively go in search of people like you, and not only share your ideas with them: but SOCIALIZE IN PERSON with them. Meet them in person.
In other words: you have to use your computer: to destroy the anti-social culture of the computer.
I agree with your article.
I have found many isolated people who I agree with about certain things on Internet forums.
The problem is... that these people are trying to FIT INTO the very culture and society they are against. They are all seeking social acceptance from the people who they are in disagreement with.
Sharing things with people who disagree with you is a total waste of time. Sharing things with people who agree with you is not. I agree with your article. But will you contact me in person? Will you try to start your own group of people who share your ideas and agree with you? The only way to fight a culture is with another culture. This means you have to START your own culture. This means you have to GROW your own culture. If you do not: you will be ignored by the majority culture and languish in ineffective isolation, and all your intelligence and sanity and perspective will be in vain.
So... IF you are really intelligent. You will contact me, and we can get together.
IF you agree with this article: you will contact the people who published it, and get together with them.
If you do not want to do this... then you are a hypocrite. Then you are mouthing somebody else's words and doing nothing about it. The easiest way for evil to grow is by good people doing nothing to stop it from growing. Doing nothing will not stop other pepople from doing. |
