automatons, every one of them. the average corporate working stiff is nothing more than an elaborate programmable robot that mindlessly goes through it’s pre-defined rule set endlessly. it’s disappointing to say the least. do these people not have dreams and aspirations? are they not capable of thinking for themselves and taking risks? do they not want to be happy in life?
it troubles me that we keep producing more and more intelligent automatons that simply follow whatever programming they are given. sure, for corporations and governments, that is exactly what they need. Machines capable of carrying out instructions with some simple decision making ability based on pre-programmed rule sets. it is quite sad when you stop and actually watch them all.
like mice in a cage, they scurry about without much thought past what they want to do next. few long term ideas or plans. some can play the system and simply have patience to live within the maze, but most are little more than lemmings.
the human mind is capable of so much more, experiencing thoughts and ideas that expand the comprehension of existence. at least that’s what I’m seeing, and for me, that’s enough.
