***** I feel like I've been through societal detox - free of all the stufffffffffffffff. Exactly, that's how I feel. I cringe at the thought of it now - all of it - just like a clean addict reflecting back on what they were addicted to - in HORROR. Everything we have beyond what is needed for bare survival is the near exact measure of what we are stealing out of the mouths, and from over the heads, of today and tomorrow's destitute. Earth became a zero sum game in the 70's, objectively - that's when we passed the threashold where earth created more than we consumed each year. Now, all that we have beyond base human needs is literally out of the mouths of the destitute - present and future. I'd actually rather die, in a heartbeat, than do that. And, like those in that Economy of Happiness, I feel so aLive having largely separated myself from it.
