The Culturally Incoherent Economy 2

Eating humans before they decompose is not a bad thought. When you really think about it, there is no mystery to space colonization. We are looking into other planets for the sources of food or water, prison colonies, and natural resources. No seriously-minded person ever believed in aliens or ever wanted to do. Aliens would colonize us from the inside, eating away on our innards till we could feel nothing.

Trees are being cut down like sacrificial bulls in the Amazon Rain Forests. America has to be the only country in which natural resources are not rationed. We have the abundance mentality. There's enough for everyone. But is there really enough for everyone? You know, there are underground cities in New York, total subpopulations living off drugs and theft and prostitution. Liberals believe that what these people need is a hug? Love, peace, and happiness?

Philosophically, America is literally back in the 18th century. Americans try to convince people of a thing by repetition. The Enlightened Philosophers thought that the mind was empty and that you could impress upon the mind whatever information or knowledge you wanted. The Existentialists fought mostly against this attitude. The Existentialist are not anti-religious.

Even the anti-existential attitude of Americans makes no sense. Cowboys are existential characters and many Americans have a cowboy attitude. There's no nausea or existential dread. Instead, it has been replaced by an exorbitant amount of pride in being able to accomplish incredibly menial and easy tasks.

Economically, the liberals seem to have just accepted Einstein's ideas without any deep thought as to what it actually meant. I myself love Einstein dearly, but I take what he said with a grain of salt.

Nobody in America would have the slightest idea of who Derrida is or they would say that he believed that everything was culturally constructed by an ever-changing context, but no one would recognize how much America nowadays looks like a deconstructed Derridian world.

BUT, I don't say this to most Americans because my thought patterns have dramatically changed. You don't give diamonds to fools. Americans, like the cynics of Oscar Wilde, know the value of nothing and the price of everything.

Is ideology the virus of the 20th century? Do we kill for ideological supremacy? How do we kill? Do we kill with a look, a smile, a deadly rumor, or the gun?
