Dead Can Dance - Persephone (The Gathering of Flowers)
I know most of you probably aren’t going to care, but for the heck of it, here’s the epitaph of my newly deceased iPod. Yay.
Today marks a historic event of the death of an iPod Touch. It died gloriously as my dad ripped it apart with a flathead screwdriver in a vain attempt to repair my obliterated headphone jack. It served a wondrous two years in my possession, and will be taken apart and taped to a piece of cardboard to honor its valiant service in the palm of my hand.
So now, as the greedy bastard of a manipulative only child that I am, i’m going to appeal to my Dad for a new phone so i can kill two birds with one silicon stone.
Oh boy.
People tend not to criticize the social order because they are bound within it. We are running a thought program which has been installed on our mental hardware which inherently controls our frame of reference. To use a different analogy, it’s like we’re in a game and the idea of questioning the integrity of the game itself rarely occurs. In fact, members of society often become so indoctrinated by their socially acceptable norms, that each person’s very meaning is framed by the dominant established value system and the interpretation of new information is consciously, or even sub-consciously, pre-filtered to be consistent with their prior biases.
