I got an email once that said to me,
"if you're against the Free Market, you're against freedom."
And naturally I shuttered at the state of mind control that
the dominant established orthodoxies has successfully imposed.
The majority of the people on this planet not only have no idea
how they are being effected negatively by the market economy at large.
They actually on average hold a steadfast commitment to its principles
based on nothing more then the traditional indoctrination.
Of course, this is how power is maintained,
and has been maintained by the dominant established orthodoxies since the beginning of time.
And the trick again is to condition people so thoroughly into the established value systems
that any thought of an alternative is inherently ruled out without any critical examination.
The greatest destroyer of ecology,
the greatest source of waste and pollution,
the greatest purveyor of violence, war, crime, inhumanity, poverty, and social distortion.
The greatest generator of social and personal neurosis, mental disorders, depression, anxiety.
And the greatest source of social paralysis
stopping us from moving into new methodologies for global sustainability,
and hence progress on this planet.
It's not some government, it's not some legislation.
It's not so rogue corporation or monopoly or cartel.
It's not some flaw of human nature.
It is in fact the economic system itself at its very foundation.
