It's Much Worse Than Just "Customer Identity" Being Made "More Primary Than Citizenship"

Customer identity is actually being made more primary than membership in the human race. Which means, among other things, being more primary than your connection to life itself. Especially to all of the things that are important to life, and meaningful connections to both our emotional, and physical needs. Connections that make us be mindful, on many levels, of the interconnectedness of all existence, and that you simply can't do things in isolation of their overall effect on everything else.

The new "Big Numbers" may make you think that the economy is "Booming," but that should not distract you from the realization that "Booming" here is quite literal. Booming because uncontrolled electrification of everything transaction oriented is accelerating things so much that we, and all systems around us, are flying apart at every seam that is the current "weakest link," in what is supposed to be an efficient matrix of organized human action; normally referred to as a working society.

But ours is not really a working society any more is it. Also on so many levels because electrified experience retrieval has already made so much of human skill better done by machines. And so now you are expected to re-tool like a machine, even if they call it "retraining." And, insult to injury, you are expected to pay for the right to be turned, ever more specifically, into some mutated human/machine hybrid. The perfect "Constant Consumer." The controllable choice maker being merged into ever re programmable slave, and consumer.

If that isn't a wet dream for big ego, "Captains of Industry," I do not know what could be.

In rare event, Atlantic, Pacific churn with storms at same time
