Corporate America has programmed people to HUSTLE! BE THE BEST! ACHIEVE! MAKE MORE MONEY!!! for so long that they now need to pay someone to come and teach us how to relax, enjoy the moment and be happy again.

    The fallacy of infinite growth (money) is such a CF

    Infinite growth is a strategy that works for a virus not humans

      “I’d like to share a revelation that I’ve had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species, and I realized that you’re not actually mammals.

      Every mammal on this planet instictively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area.

      There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is?

      A virus.

      Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You’re a plague.

      And we… are the cure.”
