I think the moment that convinced me the operating logic of our society is truly fucked in a way that cannot merely be reformed was after that eclipse in 2017 when the articles started coming out about how much money had been lost by productivity dropping from people stopping momentarily to watch it happen. To measure the world by the metric of the dollar to such a devotion that any cult leader would be jealous of that you would look at one of the most sublime experiences in nature which we, our ancestors, and even a not insignificant number of non-human species, have been observing in awestruck wonder for millennia, and decide that such a moment of profundity is something to be fought and preferably expunged from the human experience because it briefly impacts quarterly revenue.
It’s a feeling that has been coming up repeatedly, but with increasing frequency in the last few years. That being: what is all of this for? Where are we going? Nobody who defends the status quo can seem to answer it. What’s the point of an uninterrupted quarterly revenue stream if we can’t even look at an eclipse every few years? What’s the point of hustling and grinding 50, 60, 70 hour weeks if you never have time to have dinner with your friends, talk to your family on the phone, but on a bigger spectrum, what’s the point of all of that if you still don’t have any way of retiring in the future? With the way that our lives are being increasingly monetized and squeezed every second, what is there to look forward to?

I want to stand on the tallest mountain I can find and holler about this:

I cant stop reciting this and then laughing so hard I cry
transcript:
I firmly believe all the best stories happen at WalMart self checkout, I was there at 3 in the morning one time buying Froot Loops, and there was a tall, tall country dad there and his little 5 year old daughter.
And when buying my Froot Loops, I dropped them. And I said “fuck. my loops.” And I remember, like, in the back hearing, [gruffer, southern accented voice] “Yeah! Dont be afraid to speak!”
[normal voice] And I was like, “What?”
And he was like, [accented voice] “Youre angry, about your cereal. Say it. Say Fuck with your chest!”
[normal voice] And I was like, “…Fuck!” and his little daughter was like [less gruff accented voice] “Yeah my daddy lets me say Bitch!”
