      If it was produced in the last ten years, is there any real chance it’s not your first option?

    People wishing to be one with nature don’t ever seem to realize that nature is brutal and horrific just as much as it is peaceful and serene. If anything it is more the former.

      That was my reaction. You could compare isolated moments from any two lives so one looks blissful and the other looks horrible.

      At least the animals are just trying to survive and procreate, rather than hoard more wealth than they can consume in a lifetime.

        I often hear people complain that billionaires could never actually use all their wealth. The hoarding of the wealth for their “use” was never the point though.

        Its all a game of power, influence, and leverage over other people. If you have more money than someone else, you get the ability to bully them. So for a billionaire, you want more money than the other billionaires. You also want to deprive poor and middle class people of wealth so they have even less leverage and are more desperate than they would be if you simply had a lot of money, and not all of the money.

        You can get a starving homeless person to do a lot more for you with an offer of cheap gruel than you can a contented peasant with a solid gold bar.

          Huh, am I the contented peasant, largely by refusing to accept the bullshit of consumerism?

          It seems like I really dont need much money to be happy
