Someone with a Master’s degree told me just the other day, “I feel like GP1s were just made to fix an illness they gave us” without acknowledging that the private processed food industry gave us that illness, not the medical community, which is who she was referencing. This belief is more and more common, that it’s all a grand conspiracy to keep us sick so they can sell us more treatments, even folks in healthcare say that shit. It’s depressing as hell.
The idea that goal was to get us sick is a canard. The likely reality is that its just that politically motivated subsidies and cultural shifts, with a healthy dose of capitalism, is what’s the culprit.
Saying it’s like a grand conspiracy would be kinda like saying early Americans’ obsession with drinking whiskey was some sort of diabolical machination. Nah: people like getting fucked up. People like doritos. It’s just dialing in what makes money on the short term.
But 10,000x yes: people can’t discern who the “them” really is. They’re not working together as much as you’d think. We’re just all living under every evil motherfucker pulling in a similar direction.
Saying it’s like a grand conspiracy would be kinda like saying early Americans’ obsession with drinking whiskey was some sort of diabolical machination. Nah: people like getting fucked up.
The hilarious part is that alcoholic beverages and other mind-altering substances can be traced back to the dawn of humanity.
Like you said: Humans just really enjoy getting fucked up. On that line - I’m convinced “God” was a mushroom trip.
