The billion dollar powerball thrown as though it were stuck on the 20 yard line, with more and more people pouring money into it, stuck there for a while, symbol of luck, greed, tremendous powers of flagellant and inflationary forces skewing toward higher and higher
forms of post utopian absurdity.
In 50 some years, the unheard of , the grotesque nature of the circus mirroring of fortune, has gotten hold of basic values, and disfigured it to an extent,
Unimaginable back then, a few decades ago.
The inflating power of values, has destroyed reality, by infusing the symbolically unreal forces of unnatural systems, disinfiguring the natural progression of these values from their natural habitat.
If there is a limit, destroy it by magnifying and inflating reality into supra reality. Imagine those, who buy in to the aberration called reality, all features of which can be bought and changed, reforming into behemoths of virtual-non human aspirations?
And the cost? Who pays for this illusion, a destructive
Hall of mirrors, where men go mad, by its lack of perspective and depth?
In deed, the one dimensional man is stretched to the limit, his essential nature add so thin, as to defeat that, for which he was meant for.
It’s anti democratic, because the dream is fed by a multitude of losers, worshipping the golden calf of the very few, the few, who have come to reclaim the aristocracy of the power driven aspirations of the vested.
These theatrics are usually not lasting, such wealth is only so temporary refrains of oft uneducated, fearfully conditioned , ripened, as best fits those, ready for the plucking.
The theater is for supplication ,the conglomeration of super wealth, whose management has taken long years, many times more decades than is possible by chance occurances of a few numbers.
This inflation is remarkable, and unforeseen effects are quite certain to occur, when through such glass darkly, civilization returns to it’s earliest, primitive power motives, motives vested in as few men as possible, to re-create the pyramid, without which further platitudes would be impossible to parrot.
One note in passing, the recent pronouncement of FaceBook’s founder, to release to charity 99% of his 50 billion dollar fortune, leaving him with a scant 500 million, plus control of the enterprise. Of course what may be missing in this tally, is that even more money will generate in the ten year give-away.
If, 1.5 billion can be generated in a week or two by the lottery, how much more so can a worldly enterprise, which has just began to feel it’s real worth, in the ten years of the give away?
Nothing, but simulation can shadow the need for the inflating of values, since the return is diminishing, and inflation is always forced to catch up and over take it. So that the illusion may be sustained.
But, at what cost in survivability? Institutional gambling had become the holy grail of symptomology in this age of excess. How can we get back, that, which has to most appearances, been lost for ever?
Or, has it? They say, well you really need not gamble, it’s a prerogative issue, but, they miss the point: the air is infected.
