Loading ...This all falls under the category of self-inflicted abuse. So for those who can possibly imagine a way of life not ordered around “more”, there is mostly certainly a future on offer. However, for those welded to the consumption-oriented lifestyle, this is all a massive dead-end.
The proximate cause of failure will be the head-on collision between healthcare and life expectancy, as beyond the mega bubble there will be far too few resources to support an aging population of diabesity-riddled consumption junkies. Rationing of resources will be a death sentence for the chronically ill, especially those needing assisted living. The costs of assisted living are already skyrocketing. And the demographic peak of aging is still years in the future.
The only defense against chronic illness is a healthy lifestyle. But try telling that to a society that treats its own bodies like a corporate toxic waste dump. No surprise, obesity levels spiked sharply in the past ten years, as the decade of lying took its toll on mental and physical health.
Throughout this age of “more”, nature has inflicted its insidious toll in the continual trade-off between quality and quantity. Sure there is more quantity of food to be found in the grocery stores, but most of it is mass produced nutritionally void Frankenfood. Most people can’t afford to buy organic foods, and most don’t. Therefore they are at the mercy of Monsanto and Dupont. Which sadly have no mercy, only a quarterly bottom line that must increase metronomically. To date, much of the true cost of their corporate “externalities” has been borne by broader society. However, post bubble crash those unaccounted “externalities” of disintegrating societal mental and physical health will spill out onto the street. As “more” gets unceremoniously realigned with nature and reality.
This has been an interesting experiment in inverting morality, but the cost of it all has been rising in lockstep. And it was never hidden from view. Especially when Donny entered the circus signaling the endgame was nigh. And yet who could warn them not to embrace the deathstyle of “more”.
Their idols on TV selling it to them?
