It is deeply concerning that people are willing to sacrifice their freedom for the luxury of artificial attachment. The architects of propaganda have tailored their models to suit the current era, but this is merely a modernized version of the same principle that Edward Bernays warned about in the 1920s. This is a dangerous and irresponsible trend that should not be taken lightly, as it has the potential to lead to a society in which people are unable to think for themselves. In this day and age, it is clear that man has lost his connection to nature and the self, succumbing to the will of corporate elites who dictate what is fashionable and what is not. This is a dangerous phenomenon, as it leads to a false sense of power and desire, while causing the last man to be cast aside like chaff. We have created something out of nothing, with the alchemy of existence and idle hands of boredom leading to the games we play and the rules of life. Entertainment is nothing more than a dull fantasy, and television leads to the neotomy of the mind. It is a travesty that creativity is seen as a remedy for this flower of evil, when it is only through knowledge of the phenomenology of nature that true magnificence can be produced.
It is a rare and remarkable gift to be able to create without the desire for fame. To settle for mere obscurity is a disservice to ourselves; instead of succumbing to our insignificance, we should strive to explore and discover, rather than simply sitting back and watching from the sidelines. To do otherwise would be a waste of our potential and a failure to recognize the opportunities that life has to offer.
