The current American `culture' has been reduced to an `entertainment' culture. Everything is about distraction, preoccupation, vapid and empty addictions.
We are flooded, overwhelmed and buried with things to waste our potential, our capacity for meaningful work.
This is deliberate. And it is perpetrated by the rich against the poor.
...
Hopeless, oppressed and depressed millions are provided with `games,' `movies,' `reality shows' that require of them NOTHING but to stay awake in a zombie-like zone of distraction. `Soma.'
Real work gives us a sense of engagement, meaningful expression, satisfaction. We are punished for real work.
"Soma." A drug for the masses.
Read `1984` by George Orwell.
"Nineteen Eighty-Four, often published as 1984, is a dystopian novel by English author George Orwell published in 1949.[1][2] The novel is set in Airstrip One (formerly known as Great Britain), a province of the superstate Oceania in a world of perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance and public manipulation, dictated by a political system under the control of a privileged elite of the Inner Party, that persecutes individualism and independent thinking as "thoughtcrime."
