Busy all day long, never take a moment

Life is really a process of exchange, and our current life and state are also exchanged step by step. We give up time, money, dignity, status, dreams, survival, health, convenience, freedom, and security. If death is our inevitable final destination, then all the exchanges in this moment seem like drinking poison to quench thirst. Especially in the large exchange system, shrewd businessmen package it into tempting consumerism and trendy culture, and make him your incarnation and definition. From then on, you will be hollowed out as a human being and completely reduced to exchange. Slaves, working all day long for a bubble that is propelled by gazes, commercials, and social chicken soup, and have no time to spare. What is especially scary is that when we are deeply involved, we will both suffer from it and become the practitioners and defenders of his rules, becoming a large-scale Stockholm Syndrome scene from the inside out, and we spontaneously I work hard, squeeze my time and energy, hope that all this will be exchanged for better returns, and even think that this will give me the confidence and capital to ask for fate, and understand all unhappiness as unfair treatment. A deep trap, once you fall into his logical black hole, it is difficult to escape from it, unless one day the impermanence of fate will bring it down, you will find that you have been wandering around this Mobis ring for half your life, slumbering at night, and finally It's a zero-sum game.

It is a depressing argument that the convenience of modern urban life has confined and domesticated us, and the sense of entitlement brought by the desire to grasp the darkest depths of human nature exudes a fatal attraction like the eye of Sauron. Let us live safely and restlessly in the established modern social rules. We often say how important the choice of life is, but we equate it with calculation, and finally make life a question about the ratio of production to investment. And give the right to score to others.

So you will see that those who have been abandoned by the rules, or who are unable to enter the runway for various reasons, have more space and freedom because of this, and become a real self, except for all kinds of interference and charm on the way, Gradually enriching and enriching oneself is sometimes a force that cannot be upheld by a social person, making it difficult to judge whether this is fortunate or unfortunate after all.

    3.5 Bar uses some very bold forms

    An illusion of watching Michael Moore making a feature film. The whole process is almost paranoid and uses various artificial alienation techniques to create a seemingly objective 360-degree surround view, but it fundamentally confuses the boundary between politics and history. History needs to be believed, politics needs to be persuaded, and must not be confused.

Vice quotes

  • Kurt: [Narrating] As the world becomes more and more confusing, we tend to focus on the things that are right there in front of us. While ignoring the massive forces that actually change and shape our lives. With people working longer and longer hours, for less and less. When we do have free time, the last thing we want is complicated analysis of our government, lobbying, international trade agreements, and tax bills. So it's no surprise that when a monotone bureaucratic Vice President came to power we hardly noticed. As he achieved a position of authority that very few leaders in the history of America ever have. Forever changing the course of history for millions and millions of lives. And he did it like a ghost. With most people having no idea who he is or where he came from. How does a man... go on to become... who he is.

  • Donald Rumsfeld: Fuck Kissinger, he's overrated anyway!
