For example, what would happen if we, as a civilization, produced everything with the highest quality and longest durability possible? And I mean everything: clothing, technical devices, vehicles, buildings, furniture, cutlery, toys, appliances, and more.
What If Everything We Produce Lasted Forever?
Wouldn’t you consider a civilization primitive if it deliberately incorporated weak spots in products so they would break and require replacement, wasting resources in the process? Why do we live in a society that does this, despite its supposedly advanced educational and governmental systems?
Why does governance allow the production of food and medicines that are obviously detrimental to our health?
Imagine the workforce reduction we could achieve by eliminating redundant public servants duplicating work in every city, state, country, and NGO worldwide. Wouldn’t we be better off needing only a fraction of the current workforce in these areas?
Meaningless Work
What, then, is the point of living life as we do?
My conclusion is that the society we live in has been built for reasons we are not being told. It is a disguise meant to keep people in bondage until they are worn out and too old to cause trouble. By then, they must use their remaining pension or funds to deal with deteriorating health, often ending up in retirement homes or care facilities. The movie *Moon* (2009, starring Sam Rockwell and directed by Duncan Jones) provides a good mirror for this reality. I won’t spoil its twists, but if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.
