As a member of the planet earth in 2020 I think one message seems to resonate across all of our societies, our lives, our cultures. The world keeps spinning despite ou fuckery .
I don't think a bigger and more dishonest lie has been told than the idea that human beings are little more than convenient talking cattle.
We have a world that thrives on numbers, ID numbers, license plates, socil security numbers, Tax ID's , salaries , sales, impressions, and much much more .
You'd assume that the numbers magically happen and are in no way attached to the hard work of the small business owner , the idea that Amazon and Facebook don't get money off of selling the data of clusters of people who have lived full lives and share their stories online with friends and the general public alike, the advertisers spending unholy amounts of money on commercials hoping that they can showcase something which will motivate you to leave home and drop some cash . The many sites who depend on your click-throughs and keep companies like Amazon and microsoft alfoat.
The driving force behind our economy and our creativity ( our art , music, history, film, television, and much more) is people .
As we lean more and more into a technical world we seem to forget the engine which keeps our society innovating, growing, expanding, and advancing is our humanity.
The long-form story that is our existence as humanity continues through you , through me, through everyone whose blood pumps today and the pages set by those who died and set the scene from all the centuries, cultures, and years past.
We cannot continue to live in a world where we pretend that being human with less capital makes you a less valuable human, too many shitheads have an elevated sense of self and position in society because they have the right families and relationships to be in a position of success.
