A society of fear (1 Viewer)

[LadyBec]

Our economy is run on aspirations.
It's not so much fear that if you don't buy the cream girls won't want to fuck you, it's hope that buying the cream will make girls want to fuck you.

i'm so amused by the idea of you sayign fuck like that.
I've no idea why, but its just so damn funny right now. Perhaps all this Dutch eithical policy towards the netehrlands indies stuff is frying my brain?

What exactly do you mean by irrational fears? Example?

An increasingly rational understanding of self creates a very fragile identity, in which these irrational fears run rampant. Attempting to rid oneself of irrational fears, emotions, etc, only magnifies the necessity for their release. It's just a matter of pressure and time.

Fear is probably productive in small doses, like stress. It's like the argument for inequality in society - it motivates people to work harder, climb the social ladder, etc. However, with a fragile identity and increasing exposure to global events (predominantly mass-media), this is easily taken out of proportion. Eventually the system must collapse, unless a new way of understanding self comes about. Otherwise we will have a society full of schizophrenics.

lol well said.

lol well said.

i agree, especially with the point on fear. for many people its their main motivation, if there was no fear of loss of security then people wouldnt work half as hard
