I want you to think and act differently because at present our conception of ourselves as a species is limited to short-term survival in the most basic way. The resources of individualism are insufficient to sustain our lives as a species. We express this in patterns of behaviour.

We are-:

• neurotic seeking excess material wants as artefacts we call assets

• hard working / obedient achieving stable existence / executing orders as task compliant automatons

• indolent / unhappy because our experience as automatons does not match our thinking as pattern designers and makers

Rich and powerful people are as pathological as poor and passive people. They are the opposite sides of the same coin; they require each others persona to make sense of existence. 

Commodity consumers / voters / workers are not a basis for anything other than 'slavery'- cognitive passivity. You cannot complain if the leader does not grant your paradise. You cannot complain if the impoverished wish to destroy your castle. 

This model is tired and was of potent value in the middle ages-to-industrial age. We increasingly spend our time at war, denying we are at war and pretending we are civilised.
