Don't Swallow the Bullshit

The refusal to think about things that currently plague our society is a symptom of the overworked, slavish manor in which we live. People today work for more hours, for less cost of living adjusted remuneration than any any time in human history and yet we are constantly fed the idea that we have a "better life" than ever before. Meanwhile the general public are prescribed pills upon pills to dull their senses and sex drive just in case they, for a second, get the urge to question the dogma or to live a life that doesn't centre on whatever horible little task they must spend 40 hours of their week doing. There is no room for those who question. They are marginalized. So most people choose not to even bother to think, because the pills, be them actual or metaphysical, are much easier to swallow that way.
