Re: what is your point?
Perhaps another way to see this is..
Are you a victim or do you exercise your own personal power. These addictions I speak of get their root in coding one's mind. The average advertising designer knows how to stimulate responses deep within the human psyche.
Like Grz said addiction can be substituted for desire. In this regard though, how does one break the loop?
Awareness.
It's not about blame. It's about personal responsibility. A big part of the problem is that people are not willing to take personal responsibility for creating their lives. This is the exact recipe that has allowed the elite to hook into people's minds and control them. Then people run on auto pilot with carefully placed codes in their operating system by outside influences.
"People need to take back control of their own society, and start using their brains, instead of feeling guilty because they have ball point pens that leave carbon footprints."
Agreed.
Together we can redesign a reality that is harmonious for all instead of giving our power away to
parasites who influence realty to benefit themselves and no one else.
