The Benefits of a Collapse

We have to stop trying to transform the world around us in our efforts to save ourselves. The physical economy is only necessary in order to sustain our biological lives. The physical economy of the past century is a biological abomination - an abomination crafted with profit for the very few as the guiding principle.

We've become so lost as a result, so alienated from any inkling of what might truly make us happy, most of our efforts at future-building have become Quixotic.

We have to identify inside ourselves what we really need/want, but before we can do that we have to learn how to be honest with ourselves. We have a long way to go.

It would be a shame if we managed to turf our current masters out of their castles only to continue to live according to the rules and dictates that they, as our masters, fashioned for us. Losing your job ain't such a bad thing if it means regaining your humanity.
