The Third Millennium
1) A spectre is *still* haunting Eur-, no, the entire globalized, post-industrial world
2) The industrial revolution was supposed to completely make up for medieval backwardness
a. The subjective force of religion, as it once was for 1,000s of years, was no longer a guide for the means of production.
b. ***** But each individual worker in the new economy was guided by a new subjective force-- leisure. The capitalist experience may be so bad for the worker, but he will participate as long as is given a wage to accommodate a separate life outside the workplace.
B1. Concentrating his God-given talent and nurtured energy to many different areas of leisure (i.e. family, friends, hobbies, entertainment, etc) meant that the worker could not maximize his entire God-given talent and energy to one area- the means of production (his job). The cost of his leisure-related consumption, the demand, raises the costs of production, the supply, to be very high. For the costs of production, the burden is spread over everyone participating in a capitalist society.
B2. This situation has maintained a vassal position for men in the new millennium; ^^^^ man profits from technology but has too many benefits from it ^^^^. At instances when he needs all he can to assert himself, he has found that at least some aspects for his plan has been already tied up by the leisure-capitalist system. If he could only truly maximize his power, the benefits could be distributed to the producer and also the rest of society.
3) Understanding that the means of production at the time of Marx was manufacturing. Now today it is the individual mind:
a. For capitalism to be saved for the 21st century of our Lord, ***** subjective desires <leisure> must be intergrated intothe means of production (your job) as much as possible
A1. Any subjective-leisure forces that cannot be unified with production should be reduced in influence or at best be eliminated
A2. All remaining subjective forces should be merged with 1) a person’s natural, inherited abilities, 2) human capital, and 3) social capital into one unit
< (( # )) > A3. Now this unit can reenter the capitalist setting, and can channel his fullest amount of energy towards market demand
AA1. Man now serves an objective demand rather than a subjective demand of the past 10,000s of years.
4) The new objective demand treats the individual mind as the head of his own nation state (which the rest of the body) that is motivated by the same practical desires of an actual country. A country like the United States, A> enlightened and unbiased, B> unified by core values C>but also dynamic and resilient.
Unlike the Marxist focus on the production and the masses, the new approach is directed towards consumption and the individual.
The post-industrial system is not to be rejected.
Rather, man should participate in capitalism as a fit competitor so he ultimately benefits his fellow neighbor. For the individual to assume the role of a nation-state, he can efficiently create an identity for himself and evolve on a one, unified, flexible path. Taking the initiative can result for salvation for all.
+ + + The end:To be better at being yourself. The means: Consume less and work more. - - -
It is destined that all of humankind will be subjects of capitalism.
People in the West and people in China and India will be.
Those in the free world and in the Islamic caliphate will be.
Conservatives, liberals, and everyone in between will be.
Those who believe life starts at contraception and those who believe in a women’s right to choose will be.
The citizens who evacuated New Orleans and the citizens were left behind in the 9th Ward will be.
Baby boomers and their descendents of Generation Y will be.
Conflicts driven by subjective desires have a potential to be worst enemy for man, wherever he may be in the world.
No matter what side he is on.
Any task towards a goal will have ups and downs. World peace as goal is ruled out; nobody's perfect. But the longer it takes for us to resolve our conflicts, the more likely larger conflicts will occur in the future for our future generations.
Putting off the slavery question to the side made the Civil War more deadly and destructive for both Northerners and Confederates. No true winner or loser in interconnected, industrial world like the 19th century. Imagine with the even more interconnected, postindustrial world of the 21st century.
Action does indeed speak louder than words like these here. But the point is not the action, but rather the mind controlling the action. There is also the saying look before you leap. Think twice about what purpose that action serves.
The time is now. The moment is for us. It all depends on how we direct that moment. We as a human race have but one earth, united we stand, divided we fall.

The first thing I want to be done is to get that piece of crap of my ring!
Someday you'll see things my way
Cause you never know, no you never know

Cause we're just fine doin what we like
Can we say the same for you?
I'm tired of feelin all around me animosity
Just worry about yours cause I gettin mine
Now people can't you see

More money you spend on iPod nanos and hybird cars, the more likely 10,000 Americans will die in Iraq.
Say you do buy Apple's gadget or some cell-phone related toy.
The people who made that iPod in E. Asia are forced to spend more time on the job ('cause of demand)
You know what it feels like when you have to work more, don't you?
For Westerners, more stress means a craving to look for "escapism". Watching Premier League in England or the NFL in America; driving to discoteques or nightclubs on Friday nights; buying DVDs online or over a cell phone.
But back to the Asians.
They don't have any "escapism" per se. Poor Americans who can't afford an *escapist* life take out their stress by joining gangs, stealing, raping, robbing, stealing. But those activties are petty infractions in the 3rd world.
Since the beginning of the 2nd millenium, those away from the source of production are bound to dominate those at the origin of production.
It's all about the most coveted resources in the world.
Where indeed is the most coveted natural resoruce in the world? Guess who are the angrist people in the world?
And Islamic terrorism is just the beginning of the problem . . .

I could not asked for a better life. I have no one to look for but myself, no friends or whatnot. I go to school everyday, but did I need that to come up with what I just wrote?
I only needed what I was born with + whatever's in my signature below.

I hope listening to James Blunt or the Pussycat Dolls will make Monday morning easier for you.

If I'm a drug addict . . .
then I think work, not leisure, should be "the opium of the masses".
If I'm mentally ill . . .
I would have killed myself by now. But I love myself more than anybody else. You all just love your friends and material goods just a little bit more.

Rapper dies of AIDS and you hardly mention

"So, Wire speak what are your thought about Censorship in today's modern media?"
The question of Evangelical Christians judging mulimillionare Hollywood celebrities? Let the "wardrope malfunction" be the last of its kind.
What about other questions?
* This one goes out to the questions that don't have any answers:
Americans + Chinese?
Christains + Muslims?
Westerners + Terrorists?
Republicans + Democrats?
Pro-life + Pro-choice?
White people from New Orleans + Black people from said city
Baby boomers + Generation Y (" Generation X, Generation strange / Sun don't even shine upon our window pane" Limp Bizkit - My Generation )
Hip-hop + rock n' roll?
Sports + entertainment?
Teenagers + pop music?
* You can look for answers
but that ain't fun
Now get in the pit and try to love someone!!!
