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.
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.
