It’s as if I woke up to a person slapping a name tag on me and placing me on a conveyor belt –
“You’re Paul, keep it moving.”
“Oh okay, my names Paul.”
- yep – (society)
“Where am I going? Where are we going?
- shut up, face forward.
“But what is this? what am I??”
- we don't know or care; make us money.
“But I’m curious.”
- couldn’t care less.
“This doesn’t feel right”
- Too bad. Everyone’s gotta do it.
“But do they? this is greatly distressing.”
- You’ll live.
“Miserably?”
- if things go according to plan, probably.
“Well I’m depressed.”
- Prozac.
“Now I’m just numb.”
- ok
“Why am I living like this?”
- legally enforcing all new births into this homogeneous developmental process is currently our best method of perpetuating this capitalist economy.
“Is this why curiosity is stifled?
- yea. Unless the curiosity leads to a profit-generating product that stimulates the economy, no one wants to hear it.
“No one wants to hear it? Or you don’t want to hear it?
- soon, we will have convinced you that they mean the same thing.
“I cannot stifle my curiosity, I can't contain my desire to understand what's going on here.”
- fine, prepare to be ostracized by society.
“Worth.”
