@Godlikan Long after human civilization has annihilated itself, either aliens or the next dominant species will discover a golden proprietary device. Then, they will understand how we destroyed ourselves.
@jecomans @nate1222 @Gelugon_baat @motopram Of course you're going to say that. You have an interest in keeping people from questioning your line of employment.
@Gelugon_baat @motopram "I could have turned into something like you, thinking that some quacks or corporate f*cks are just out there to prey on people's desperation."
I don't think Gelugon_baat is even educated about a lot of this.
Like a lot of people, he/she doesn't realize that morality is an IDEAL. And, in anthropology, you learn that IDEAOLOGY always comes AFTER what is decided by those in power and ONLY to secure and expand power.
@Gelugon_baat @nate1222 Funeral service companies only make money at the point of death. But, keeping someone alive via constant treatments? Steady stream of funds.
@Jacanuk @nate1222 @Gelugon_baat @motopram I know that fixing a problem is not profitable. But, milking a perpetual problem keeps the money flowing. And capitalism -especially in the American sense- is about never-ending profits.
Take a sociology class or an anthropology class in college. You'll find out some pretty sad things about how it works.
@Gelugon_baat @motopram No. His first paragraph is absolutely true.
These pharmaceuticals and insurance companies are in it for MONEY. It's not a conspiracy theory; it's a fact of capitalism. If you want to make money, exploit a perpetual crisis. It's that simple.
Morality and empathy have no place in the pursuit of profits.
