Primitive man in a technological age
Primitive man in a technological age In the past, I loved my “dumb” phone and as I watched my friends and people in general drown out their phones, get addicted to their small screens, and increasingly neglect the world around them, I began to develop a kind of resentment toward smartphones . Yes, I know that smartphones are not responsible for our collective mental escape from reality ( escaping from reality is a natural reaction sometimes to an unbearable reality ), but when you as a human begin to compete with smartphones to get the attention and interaction of people around you it is hard not to curse that machine small.

Nailed to the Door of Our Planet PART 2
“The paradox of McWorld (corporate ideal) Benjamin Barber writes in Jihad vs. McWorld, “is that it destroys the financial base of the consumers it needs on the way to selling them products. It overproduces goods and underproduces employment, unable to see the connection between them. While democracy cultivates free markets, markets fail to cultivate democracy.”

September's Palette
Black was the sky when the day began its slow crawl towards night. Black was the blanket that twisted and knotted itself around my shivering husk as I slept. Black was the car that I sought refuge in, sleeping inside of to shelter myself from the biting winds of the highlands of Wyoming’s unforgiving wilderness. There was a beautiful calmness in the air; I remember that. Though I slept very little, and my back was as twisted and bent as the blanket was that covered me, I felt little other than calmness and the quietness of the morning. Stepping out of my car only briefly to unfurl my twisted legs, I was met with a harsh gust of wind that woke me up better than any cup of coffee could. The soft blue glow of my watch read 4:26. Good morning. I returned to my car and began driving, leaving behind my little patch of dirt that served as a good and stable home for the night. Black was the abyss of the night that pushed back against my headlights as I drove on. Black was the hauntingly vast sky above, and black was the road that stretched on and on below me. I drove for hours through this empty, starless galaxy. No moon guided me, and no stars flickered above me. Through blackness, I cut and fought forward, and through emptiness, I voyaged on. What was once open flatland soon became a mountainous terrain. The road rose and fell through the mountain ranges, as though I was a lonely black ship on a dark and haunted ocean. I felt as though I was being swallowed up; my car a lump of coal, the world before me a large and lightless fire. I drove on through the night as the glow of my watch showed time marching on and on and on. Good morning, my dear sweet Wyoming. I praise what I have been granted to see: September’s beautiful palette.
