So I was thinking the other day about the machine.
The machine being capitalism, combined with patriarchy, consumerism, and all those negative schools of thought that make the world we live in extremely uncomfortable for me.
But then I had an epiphany. We created the machine. We have created all those things that make this world be significantly shitty.
We, human race, created capitalism for example. And even though it was created with good (?) intentions it became corrupt, and evolved into a monster.
And that monster took control.
The system is in control of the majority of people on this planet. Very few chose to obey the system because it benefits them or because they're scared. The rest are controlled. Mindless little sheep without consciousness, intellectual zombies.
So, the machine has taken control. Since the system is part of the machine and it keeps it going.
We created something to better our lives (supposedly) and we managed somehow to give it its own consciousness and power, which in the end resulted in us being under control.
It's ridiculous.
However, the power of the machine is tremendous at this point. To the extend where it's extremely hard to escape being part of the machine. But then again, if you succumb to the machine and play by its rules, whilst trying to deceive the zombies that are controlled by the machine, you can be extremely successful.
Of course that means you have no morals. But maybe you do, since morals are subjective.
Who cares? When your survival is on the line, you do you.
Or not?
The eternal dilemma. You or the world? What matters the most?
Personal against global.
If I started studying philosophy maybe I'd have had an answer to my internal battle already. Maybe not.
Well, I just woke up so that's enough thinking for now.
Good morning.
