| Your worldview is extremely biased into "productivism"... Why is that what only matters for you is what a society can produce? Militarily, technologically and so on. Would you prefer to live in a society with extremely low levels of freedoms but that can manage to increase their productive output rather than one where you can be a human being and express yourself? Why do you judge others with such a righteous view of what is a vice and project that view into how whole societies should behave? Even more that you compare it to... China? Why is China your benchmark? Are you afraid that China will take-over your country economically? Are you afraid of something else from China? Why do you care if China does something or not? It rattles me to think that there are people thinking exactly like you, completely diminishing human existence into how productive one can be based on a very strict (and square) set of parameters. Wasteful future is exactly what we've built, with China's participation: a steamroller of manufacturing goods and services to be consumed. That is wasteful as fuck, just look at any corporate structure and how it functions, look at how much wasted time, mental energy, creativity and so on goes into what is, in the end of the day, unnecessary. Our lives are filled with unnecessary things, a drug that isn't that harmful is definitely not the culprit for a society to end in waste. I don't know, man, I feel that your comment is the condensation of the pointlessness of modern times, thinking about life as humans just as a vessel for productivity is just fucking sad. Your judgment of others while being completely oblivious to this sad bias is borderline infuriating, the self-righteousness exhaling from your comment really rubs off very wrongly. |
