And let me quote from a k5 post by Kasreyn: "Simply put, there aren't enough jobs for everyone on the planet under the current system, without advertising. Imagine if everyone stayed home to eat - or merely foreswore fast food. How many millions of restaurant workers would be out of jobs? ... "Frankly, if the advertising culture did not exist, neither would our economy in its current condition. Right now, only a small percentage of humans are employed producing Basic Needs. ... So what does everyone ELSE do for a living? Mostly, they produce useless things, or they spend their time convincing others to buy the useless things, or they take part in the economic crap-shoot of capitalism, or they run one scam or another. "The majority of the human race doesn't have to work for their living any more. If we could count on everyone to act responsibly, we could just have the farmers etc., produce the food and necessities, and the rest of us could take up full-time navel-gazing or philosophy. Instead, our society is geared to continuate the work ethic and ideals of a former society in which we DID have to work to survive. It's been such a gradual process we simply didn't notice it, is all. And perhaps we're too individually irresponsible for any other system to work as well." |
