RE: Saturday morning mind wanderings...Is there a 'critcal mass' of technology for happiness...?
...you have to answer to your superior and do as they say even if it goes against the principals
I cannot imagine how soul crushing that must feel like.....it explains why I've been self employed most of my life...lol
Life is set out as a pyramid scheme, be it at work, of just existing in a governed world. To live we MUST follow orders of superiors, the powers that be , the government, police, a boss, parents....
in this sense we hand over our responsibility and free will , this where we get the "i was just doing my job/ as i was told" mentality. While at the extremes we find this behavior completely unacceptable, such as the SS of Nazi Germany and the crimes against humanity they committed. In our day to day lives however, we see the same thing play out decisions made by corporations which harm people , the environment and much more and they hide behind the same guise "I was just doing my job/ as i was told" and it is acceptable.
THIS is the current state of human affairs... we have been conditioned to accept this fate, be submissive, do as we are told, don't make waves or rock the boat, keep your head down.... and pray you are not on the receiving end of it some day
