The same roots of cultural brainwashing that have produced cannon fodder for wars (guys who don't feel much and so have a hard time telling right from wrong), was already bad
But when part of the population does "not feel"
it also infects other parts of life, and can and does produce people focused only on external and incredibly shallow status symbols to "prove" they are "superior"
I have no words to convey how -stupid- and shallow it is to be "proud to have zero introspection".
Wittgenstein taught that 'the meaning of a word is its use'
I knew were fucked when we decided to be ok with calling #Corporations 'persons'
A corporation has no soul, & no reason for being other than to maximize profits & aggrandize power to itself. #Trump is the Apotheosis of Corporate Personhood
#CitizensUnited has got to go
@PeachMcD Yes!
I hadn't even been thinking of the corps themselves, only the status monkeys in expensive suits driven to run them for profit, in a superficial rush to prove their "superiority" as humans via wealth and market share...
but you are completely right about that as well.
