Never buy back your soul
Being afraid that one is not explicit enough
So, the Basel mode
main purpose being to demonstrate
how and why discourse analysis
can never satisfy the scientific approach.
I say
He say
We say
You say
We all talk
Over
And over
And over
And over again
You won’t believe you’re on the eve of destruction.
So you continue with the discourse
About the pathway that takes you there.

Morals
Humans invented anthropogenic moralism in order to establish a framework for interacting with each other and with the rest of the planet. This is why we have a moral diversity, because nature is diverse and humans are products of this.
Moralism has however, become largely anthropomorphic and in my opinion this is the greatest moral challenge of our time. We place our highest values on consumption of the natural world without empathising with the implications of this consumption for other forms of life.
If moral absolutism exists, and I think it should, it would be focussed on establishing a true value system that incorporates the impact the entirety of a product’s production chain has on life, rather than simply focussing on the human desire for the final product.
We have been given every indication that our consumption based model is morally absurd as it destroys life, and the ability of the planet to maintain life.
And yet we are increasingly devoted to it as our morals are corrupted to embrace the values of; Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Pride, Envy and Gluttony.

Value III
I am not so sure Sonny, most business models disregard the energetic input available to reproduce cyberspace and consumption.
Advertising simply uses natural resources to promote the further use of natural resources. If natural resources are limited, and I can assure you they are, then the business model actually has no social or environmental value.
That is to say the value is purely speculative, and subject to the ability to produce paper/digital profits from the increased use of natural resources.
Our value system is increasingly based on securing short term profits through longer term destruction. Those that profit promote this as a belief which many buy into because the religiosity doesn’t mention the side effects.
Collectively the human race is addicted to a system that promotes anthropogenic egotistical value above life itself. For example, the industry of war is increasingly valuable even though we know the implications.

Value II
The valuation of goods is based on rarity, as perceived through an anthropomorphic veil.
True value, can only be represented as the energetic costs of their production.
The work required to extract and consume minerals is worthless unless repeatable. I will make reference to a greater wisdom than mine:
Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money
We are caught in a logical fallacy, a religious belief that the means of production represent value, when in fact they largely represent destruction of real value, in the consumption of life itself.

Value
Just wait until they find out, the true value of Facebook and snapchat like things.
All they have to sell is consumption, the goal of which seems to be the destruction of the natural world.
What a ignominious goal for humanity, to worship growth until we run out.
As Plato said, they see but the shadows of things, not the things themselves.

Tulips
While it may be rational motive to seek to secure personal profit, it is actually totally irrational to pay a high price for something when the value of the the thing is based on irrationalities.
A tulip has no physical value other than as an ornament, can’t eat it, can’t smoke it, can’t use it to do work.
The only value a tulip held was its ability to increase in mercantile value through mass suggestion.
The rationale, that mass suggestion represents truth, is the very definition of irrationally.
It is what the market uses to convince people that they do not need to worry that the planet is warming, that natural resources and energy are depleting at accelerating rates.
If you didn’t consume, someone else would profit from your lack of consumption.
The main motivating factor of the stultocracy.
