RE: Hero Worship and Cultural Consumption: Sparagmos and Omophagia
I like the way your mind works, and your objective analysis of the unhealthy synthesis between human nature and technology. Gives some understanding to movements of the past; Luddites, Amish, the back to nature hippies. Hyper-individualism is the antithesis of community, yet community is crucial to a healthy society. Where it’s all going is uncertain.
It is uncertain that is certain. :) I do believe we are social animals who need each other and a sense of community. Communities seem to be a thing of the past as we rely more and more on corporations and governments for the necessities of life. We rarely speak directly to or know our neighbours. I would like to see more barter and trade within communities to disrupt some of the current power dynamics we witness everyday.
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment @dissfordents. :)
