Ron,
This is an interesting take on moq's role, and
how the moq is freeing itself from an intellectual
(S/O) culture. I wouldn't say the moq is the first to
do so, due to Daoism and Zen. S/O did latch strong
enough to pattern western science. What's more
strongly missing is the dynamic aspect of reality in
western culture. Creativity is dying. Most people
have a boss that tells them what to do all the way up
to the government. So many soon to be presidents have
discussed changing Washington, that has been the theme
for decades, but Washington bureaucracy... the weight
of not only mercantilism, but industrialism. Get
everybody making the same cup of coffee, and the
perfect cup can be made - no personality, it's
disappearing, going with the crowd, popularity, these
are peeked not in high school, but beyond. Why are
the drop-outs killing popular kids? Why are the
outsiders kept the outsiders and mainstream pop
culture is kept intake for all it's worth. On and on
and on...
thanks, good post.

SA,
Thank you, and thank you for the correction
In regard to Daoism. Glad to know someone read that post.
Being an outsider myself I can only relate my own experience
With pop society. I also had the experience of being embraced
By the popular crowd for a period of time but that was due to
What I achieved athletically and artistically. Even now
I'm in the outcast section simply because I chose not to buy
A big house in an affluent development but a large
Property with a small fixer-upper house. Land is what is important to
Me. Family not money. building genuine relationships not opportunistic
alliances. I choose meaning
Not status. These were the values I was raised with.
Having seen life's butt hole a few times, I do not see this years
Trend, I see tomorrows waste. I still used a broken coffee cup
Everyday for tea. Not because I can't afford a new one but because
The broken one was still useful. A work mate recently threw it away
And presented me with a new one because he couldn't stand seeing me use
something that was "clearly no good" I remarked that it had been good
enough
For 3yrs.
I was raised to use things until they are unusable, pick through my
trash
And that's what you will find, trash.
I can't put my finger on it but this throw-away consumer culture
promotes
Unsound living practices. The waste is like so much sweet icing on a
cheap
birthday cake.
Thanks SA
