I really don't have the time to flesh this out entirely but I want to add that there is no real world, no sheeple, no lemmings or lambs being led to the slaughter or any of that condescending bullshit. We're all immersed in the illusion and while some of us may have more defensible reasons for being so immersed, none of us have been gifted with anything close to clarity. Life isn't Fight Club or The Matrix - there is no one to awaken and doing away with this kind of nonsense is absolutely imperative to changing the world with your ideas.

I've recently seen some really interesting and self-critical things come from the very same media machine which seems to love painting extreme cases and the ideas that follow from them as the whole of public opinion. Jon Stewart's recent rally most easily comes to mind.

Ultimately, such an argument falls into the same trap it argues against. Regressive.

I mean, how easily could you go about your day if every single time you removed a dollar from your wallet you were forced to come to terms with the death, slavery, misery and sadness underlying it? It's quantifiable. When your entire way of life is bound by a series of illusions how does this kind of stuff not make sense?

I'd bet none of this makes sense outside of my head.
