…if you have access to this you most likely live under what i call the barcode capitalistic society, in which money is like a god, a religion created on how much you can stuff inside, a self service reality in which we are predictable, anticipatable and controllable, it’s said that we live under the total control of the system, but this control wouldn’t be possible if we were not in a self service mode all the time falling again and again in that loop of pleasure and self gratification, this image illustrates what i believe has happened to mankind over the millennia, and what i believe is going to keep on happening to it unless we jump out of it…

in this image the circle in the bottom is a pregnant representation of the world, mother nature and all her creative capacity has been infected by a hierarchical system in which the ones with more experience on it seem to feed from the new ones’ suffering and struggle, protecting its sheep as the good shepherd would, making the sheep afraid to ask, question, wonder, cause its fear the ultimate tool of control and manipulation, and ignorance is the way we help that system control us.
