Awakening to Alienation

The Culture has all the answers. You want to know where people came from? Well when the sky God got out of his canoe at the first waterfall and took a leak then we, the true people, appeared like ants and weve been living here ever since oh, gee thanks, Im glad I asked. This is what culture does for you.

But now technology throws a curve, and the curve is that we live so long that we figure out what a scam this is. We figure out that what you are supposed to work for isnt worth having, we figure out that our politicians are bufoons, we figure out that professional scientists are reputation building grab tailing weasels, we discover that all organisations are corrupted by ambition. We figure it out.

Then as intellectuals, and anybody who figures it out is an intellectual, believe me, because they are slinging the programming to push you the other way, discover that you are alienated. Thats what figuring it out means, it means that you understand that the BMW, the Harvard degree, the whatever it is, that this is all baloney, and manipulated, and hyped, and that mostly you have a bunch of clueless people trying to figure out which fork they should use.

But this position is presented as alienation and therefore somehow tinged with the potential for pathology, its a bad thing to be alienated.

This would have been an amazing video if it wasn't for the completely unnecessary music.

I met someone who's father was a CIA agent who knew Terence Mckenna. Some top secret shit right there. I was put through the void of psychiatric wards. I am so sick and tired of the reality that is scamming me daily. I need to trip balls. Who's with me?!
