Let's all go to church and recite the litany of the grind factory, lmfao. Let's spread our gospel to the children, no it's because they're "hardcore," not because they're tractable!! For sure the actions of a culture that has a strong handle on the human mind haha

I can't tell you all what to do with this whole thing you've built here but I CAN teach you to understand it and in my experience that really defangs it

Knowledge workers having a good time and treating each other kindly and being inclusive about the future is actually so profoundly terrifying to the machine that they have to construct the most elaborate mental prison possible to convince you you can't be that way

They are working against your own psychology but they're doing a good job at it! They're exploiting the parts of you that respond to threat, and they're dangling always conditional belonging in front of you to convince you that you have to cling to groups and leaders and Technical Superstars that you secretly hate looking up to. The only way past this is seeing through it.

I would love to hear this cover. I'm sure if the Muppets had the stones to do it, Tom Morello would 100% guest star in the video.

They are so afraid of us, and I wish I could get more of my peers to recognize the power in that
