    Default Why so dead? [serious thread]

    Has no one written any major treatises on philosophy or staged any major revolutions yet? You all fail at life. Your age is over....the human race has run its course, and it's all your fault.

    My age isn't over until it's my birthday and by then, you sure as hell better have bought me a present.

    instead of creating the bridge between man and superman -- technology created a bunch of fat loner consumers who dont know how to talk to people face to face and who sit around in pajammas jerking off and downloading itunes and developing orwellian newspeak in twitter - that doesn't even account for the people suffering for our indulgences. As a beta i implore you to conceptualize the revolution so we can carry it out. Or just give us something to rebel against so we know we're alive. come on bitches, unplug your george orwell grill and get cookin', before it's too late.

    I'm tired of being herded like cattle into cubicle farms.
    I'm tired of eating chemically and genetically engineered food.
    I'm tired of being told what to wear, where to go, what to like, who to like, who to hate, who to fear, who to fuck, what to buy, what to watch
    I'm tired of reading stories about industries destroying mountains, dumping chemicals, burning forests
    I'm tired of being isolated from my neighbors, separated from family, even my roommate, who is staring at some form of LCD screen for 90% of his waking hours.

    This isn't 1984, it's The Matrix. We don't need machines to enslave us--we're doing it to ourselves.

    I'm glad I don't have to go out into the wilderness and kill deer with spears in order to eat.
    I'm glad that I won't starve to death because this year's crops failed and there isn't enough food.
    I'm glad that I live in a free land where even if people tell me what to do, I don't have to listen to them.
    I'm glad I live in a society where industry's effect on the environment is regulated and minimized more than it ever has been in history.
    I'm glad I have the Internet, so despite my social isolation, I can remain connected with my friends and family.

    Seriously guys, we live in paradise. Does anyone seriously wish they could go back in time and live before the invention of all this terrible, horrible technology? We have the softest, most comfortable lives in history. We should appreciate it while we have it, because nothing lasts forever.

    It's just that we forgot people amidst all that.
