This is an odd title, I know, but it is something I've run into a few times.
I have to mention David Icke who has an amazing lecture about how people actl ike Robots. This is also partly in response to watching Blade Runner 2049. A lot of people in our world go through life acting like robots made out of meat. They don't look into other people's eyes. They don't want to have human interaction. They seek out place where human interaction is neccesary but then they go into oblivious mode. When at work they tune out their human emotional side and make logical decisions with the only aim to make the company more money. In many ways, we live in a world where humans pretend to be robots just get by ignoring their emotional human side as much as possible. This creates a lot of repressed emotions and results in a lot of people being out of touch with themselves. Naturally, this condition is miserable. History of Being Disposable This is not a new state of being...where we are represented by a number and looked at as a disposable asset. This has been going on since the 1050's at least. There are the nobles and rich who are of value (according to society) and the peons...the peasents who are of no value and can be replaced. They are merely assets that do the jobs that have to be done. We know, in every war, every person is looked at as a disposable asset. They are part of a figure representing many men that is simply moved on a board as a larger strategy that somemone of value makes. Only if someone demonstrates abnormal bravery or behavior that brings their side success are they considered an individual of value by society. Sodliers are made to wear the same uniform. This dehumanizes them. They no longer have an individual personality. Everyone who wears that uniform is expected to act the same. They are tools...not individual beings. For a long time people were serfs in England. They lived and worked the land but did not own it. The land could be taken away from them at any time. They were practically slaves to the lords and ladies set into place by Kings who were given their throne by the Pope. This system existed throughout Europe. As long as people went to Church and gave them what they could the Church was happy. The people that attended the Church were just assets to make Rome stronger. They are referred to the flock...which, agian, causes a person to lose their personal idenitity. They are just white fluffy sheep that all look the same and nothing more. This is an old system. Current Economic View Point I've talked about the predicted labor shortage that did not happen. Around 2005 the government and the economic 'experts' were expecting a labor shortage around 2015. They allowed as many people to come into the United Stats to ease the problem as possible. The generations afeter the Baby Boomers were just too small to take over the jobs left the retiring Baby Boomers held. If a labor shortage had happened, as far as the Government was concerned, their income would be effected. Businesses would be comprimised and would need to have competetive raises and pay rates to get the most talented employees. Food prices would go up. There would be talk of lowering taxes. Government looks at each person as an asset. They need to produce a certain amount of revenue for the Government for the Government to stay in operation. That's all we are to our governments...a source of revenue to keep their pet projects going. Faced with a labor shortage and population shortage the value of this country would have gone down and it would be harder to borrow money. The government would not have been able to continue to run in the excessive way that they currently operate. When it comes to lending our country is already considered a high risk because we continueto expand the deficit and we are likely to default unless our economy and our population don't continue to grow. Banking institutions don't believe they will get their money back (which didn't exist anyway but that's a conversation for another day) and our government exists in it's current state only because of loans. That's why we had the immigrant crises and why there is so much debate about it. That "crises" was intentional and has kept us from a labor shortage. For the citizens the labor shortage would have been great. The quality of lifestyle would have improved and balanced out inflation which has been soaring while wages have remained stagnant for the last thirty years. The government doesn't think about that, of course, because they (like all souless automatons) only care about existing in the same current state with very little change. Science Says We're Disposable Hard science reinforces this belief that people are just assets...just numbers. We're just meatbags. Our consciousness arises from our brains. Once our bodies expire we are gone forever. With that type of mentality of course each person is just a cog in a machine. Cogs can be replaced. If the part isn't what is needed or desired it can be reshaped with a few tools. The problem is it's not that way with human beings at all. Psychology has revealed that 'tools' can't fix the brain or consciousness. Humans are not machines. They require more then just food/fuel to function. In China during the abandonment of all of the baby girls the churchs and orphanages would feed the babies. However, they would not hold them and they would leave them in dark rooms...the sensory deprivation and lack of touch would lead to the baby girl's deaths within days. Souless Automatons There is a old story that in Atlantis there were Automatons created that had no souls. They would do all of the chores and tasks that humans felt were mundane. Well, we have souless Automatons now. Only people become a part of them. Their called omnopolies (corporations that own more then one company but keep the original company they consumed) and government. These entities solely exist with the intent to continue to exist. They are completely and entirely devoid of a soul. They only exist to consume money (which represents human energy) and to grow bigger. The problem is that the people who are a part of these big soulless entities take on Group Think. They live, breath and only exist for the company they are working for...the problem is the primitive nature of these companies. They're on the same level of intelligence as an amoeba. They reinforce the idea that we are just cogs in a big machine...a machine they want to control. We are all replaceable. They don't care about the actors they hire to continue their existence. They don't care about the minor dramas that play out in their halls. If they cut off a finger (a company with a few thousand employees) it can be replaced with a new one. They are zombies that suck the life out of everything they touch. Companies do not care about their customers (only their money) and they do not care about their employees. They only seek to continue to exist. They exist only on the energy that humans produce and return nothing back to the people who work with them or the people who use their product. That's why when they couldn't get cheap disposable labor out of the United States when the unions said each person was of value and should be paid accordingly... they went to other countries where they could exploit other people. A Society Problem Strangely, I realized this when I was watching Blade Runer 2049 and after the Las Vegas shooting. We humanize robots in movies but we dehumanize the human beings we see in every day life. Human beings are given so much. Yet, we don't seem to appreciate what we have been given. We don't value or appreciate each other. We don't honor each other. In todays society we look at other people only as a means to an end. "I have to deal with this teller in order to get the money I want. I want them to be human because you can't intimidate or rationalize with a computer. However, I don't want to recognize them as an individual human being either, so I won't use their name, because then I'd have to realize I was using someone else. Even though this is a bottom rung employee with no power they represent the entire company and I hate them." This is the problem with society. People have been considered disposable for thousands of years. Our current state of government (not the original but the corrupted one lead by lobbyists) and our omnopoly corporations have learned to disguise their intent to a degree. They are one system that is interdependent at this point and leading this country. Yet, they are souless zombies reinforcing the ideat that everyone is just a cog in a machine. People are to be consumed through working for them and give the results of their labor back to them in an endless cycle of exchange where the person is never really compensated in full. The thing is that our current society is so large and so less independent on each other that we do not value each other at all. We don't look at each person as an important component in the overall scheme of life. This has changed since the times of being a serf...becuase back then we had to depend on the network of people with which we resided. We knew our neighbors and if we needed help we went to them because there were maybe a hundred people in a community that we had to deal with on a daily bases. The baker was always the same guy...not a rotating amount of five to ten people and if we didn't like that particular store we could go to another. As long as we think that this world is all that there is and that everyone is disposable we will continue to compete with each other without seeing the value in each other. If we act like meat robots when we interact with strangers and treat strangers as though they are disposable...we reinfroce this belief. If we define peoples value by their job and ourselves by our job....then we also reinforce this belief. Then what does it matter if people are killed in large numbers? They are just numbers. They aren't real or important unless they are a member of government, a CEO or an 'expert.' Only the soulless profit seeking governments and corporations fighting for their continued power and existence are important. They must be preserved at all costs. (Our original government didn't seek profit or taxes). Conclusion The funny thing is if we woke up to the realization that this is current society we can change it in the twinkling of an eye. If we woke up to realize that each human being is as important as the muscles in our own body and that without them society could not function...this belief and the resulting behavior would change the world. We could stop spending money on useless causes and on things we don't want. We could start spending money on things we do want. Will society every choose to see each human being as an important priceless piece of the system with a unique precious gift and function to share with the whole? Will they start behaving in a way that demonstrates this belief? I'm not talking about giving money to the street racketeer with the sign saying he's poor or a non-profit organization which is just a corporation in disguise claiming to help people but who's CEO lives in a mansion. Will society ever wake up to the fact that the government and these corporations have no real value? That thier individual life is far more important that any company they may worship, follow and who's prodcuts they buy? That we could exist without government and corporations... and for our own mental health corporations should not exist at such large levels or have any influence upon our government? Government should only be for the purpose of organizing public resources. They should maintain the roads and infastructure and general order of the society but have no power when it comes to addressing or 'fixing' societies problems. They are only a disposable tool that morphs and changes accordingly in response to society. Our priorities and our values as a society are all backwards. That happens when you place Organizations and Corporations that have no soul on pedestals to be worshipped. That's what happens when 'things' have more value then people. We are robotic slaves of our own choosing because we buy into the system by choice. We perpetuate these values. Someone else has built this ride. We have the choice if we get on it or we can choose to honor the individual spirit of each person we meet.
