Sounds great … like “Matrix Decoded”

To the extent that our energies have been trapped in the service of a select few, and we remain unaware of that entrapment, even unaware of what ‘happiness’ truly means, we are indeed in a pickle.

Needless to say, an “individual” dependent on the approval of countless others is not an “individual” in the sense Jung used the word.

A corporation is more akin to an amoeba than a human being. Oh yes, it has human blood flowing in it’s veins. But it’s not a native organism.

Thinking about corporate dominance without including a Darwinian perspective (ie corporate discovery of advantageous social environment niches and competing to dominate them) would be a less than complete analysis. One way to battle corporations is to feed them as little as you possibly can, adopting a simple lifestyle and relying on corporate products as little as possible.

Looking forward to Dougs’ book, he tends to have an interesting and thorough take on things.
