Efficiency, choice, and creativity are the most essential aspects of Capitalism and also
pure Marxism. In addition to these aspects, appreciation is a key factor. Appreciation
drives consumers and producers alike.
Ironically, space is a new phenomena; not just outer space but space to store personal
possessions. The need and also the demand for storage space amongst the average
western home has increased substantially over the last few decades. Families are buying
more stuff and collecting more stuff that are considered intrinsic aspects of our personal
value. We might also say, more aptly, that our stuff is a factor of our self-appreciation or
appreciation from others. What did previous generations do with their stuff? It seems
factually accurate that they had less to begin with in that frugality was a hallmark value
that has also fallen by the wayside in addition to Sunday shopping laws.
Some have argued that populations, stifled by positive population growth and negative
attitudes towards increased immigration have led to unusual forms of population
manipulation in two key aspects. We must not forget that producers seek appreciation( of
dividends and other yardsticks). The purpose of the manipulation is to ensure continued
market appreciation in some shape or form. How can you do this if the population isn't
growing?
It is argued that, unwittingly, the masonic nature of W.( "W" for westernized ) A.S.P.
culture that we cherish and celebrate with a Christmas and Santa Claus scene in many
box-office movies has encouraged a culture of cover( Adam and Eve sought cover and
were naked and ashamed). The experience of some individuals while in the personal
space of a family home has resulted in emotional patternings that may have led to
extreme consumerism. Certain other experiences may have taken place at the hands of
school teachers, doctors and other members of society who happened to be members of
what is referred to as a harmless pass-time. Running along side this is a Stepford
experience that may entail the social expectation to buy a certain type of window-
covering and everybody in the neighborhood has at least one such window covering in
the home or a chair with a certain pattern. The equation is as follows:
1. Demand has to increase;
2. Increase demand by increasing a sense of personal shame in the populace; and
3. Personal shame needs covering( Adam and Eve were naked and ashamed and sought
cover with fig leaves).
The manner in which masonry could create the perfect addicted consumer is hard to
fathom but there are those who have spent many years trying to understand their
compulsive shopping that they excuse politely, with instruction, as shopping therapy.
The phenomenon is quite unique and the best evidence is the increase in the number of
storage space facilities in urban centres. They weren't a part of the usual urban landscape
until twenty years ago and the numbers are increasing. The person with the most or most
coveted toys does not win. You might have died of cancer quite early before 38 years of
age with a very expensive Dodge Viper in your driveway, with three kids and a wife.
Maybe you fulfilled some sense of purpose in spite of your Viper and you might say you
succeeded beyond the selfish neighbour who drives a Mazda with no kids and who just
seems to hate anyone who does not agree with the Mazda owner's personal notion of
perfection. But, there might be a Kia owner who lives until 39 or possibly 80 who can say
he or she is a winner in spite of their possessions in that they live for a greater purpose
and it might even show. Dietrich Bonhoffer fulfills this last definition in addition to Abd
Ru Shin. I am not sure what type of vehicle either gentleman owned but the point is that
purpose superseded any personal drive to seek cover in the obtaining of material
possessions.
Population Shifting
Population shifting involves multiplying the number of households in a society starved of
income support that causes a starvation in sufficient population growth either by birth or significant immigration. This involves manipulating human behaviour hormonally. The mere desire to be intimate with another human being drives men and women to mate. However, a married couple
occupies one household. Divorced couples occupy two households. Two households buy
more soda than one household on the average. There just seems to be more thirst. This
essentially aids the producer who needs appreciation. This also works for furniture and
other products. Even if thirst remains constant in the itemized consumer who no longer
lives in a coupled home, it's always nice to have a soda on the shelf. You might feel less
alone and it certainly helps your sense of appreciation. This singularization of a home is
achieved by genetically modified food additives. You are not sure what is causing you to
loose your libido, but as noted in "Alice does not live here any more-the movie", wives
notice that they are trying to get their husbands to chase them around the bedroom. The
pattern of singularization continues for a few decades and it becomes a communal
phenomena. The desire to be intimate remains but the polarizing effects of negative
expectations of relations with the opposite gender is seeded by daytime tv dramas that set
the course for a fear of being hurt, used and rejected that compounds the hormonal
phenomena of singularization. The boyfriend who does not respond after consuming a
soda in the manner that the new wife or hopeful girlfriend wishes, might respond much
better after a tall cup of hot chinese tea. His lack of response as conditioned by certain
misunderstood hormonal food additives leads one to run from another potential
experience of perceived (but not real) rejection with some other unwittingly genetically
altered young and sincere male. But, its not that the boyfriend rejected anyone. He just
drank the wrong cup or soda.
In the mid 80's a movie entitled "Night Shift-the movie" demonstrates the continued
fermenting and polarization of individuals along sexual plains that aided the phenomena
of singularization. A lot of individuals live in communities but alone in various urban
centers. While one case of soda a week may have been sufficient amongst two
individuals in the same home, two homes run by two individuals are buying two cases per
week or on a bi-weekly basis.
In summary, W.A.S.P. should now stand for Westernized, Anglo, Sensually bombarded
Person. Traditionally, it stood for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Demand needs to go
up to achieve appreciation. Appreciation is a key aspect of a market economy. Demand
requires buyers. If there are insufficient buyers or insufficient buying, you need to create
or stimulate buying or create more buyers. If you cannot create more buyers, you can
stimulate buying with the phenomena of singularization of the traditional family. The
average marriage lasts five years( one year longer than the usual car lease or finance
arrangement-the shine has dulled and your esteem may have gone with it if wrongly
rooted). The divorce rate is now 60/40 in most Western countries.
The phenomena of shame ( and the need to cover) is not aided by the media but replicates
it with material that is justified in the name of free speech, artistic expression and the
avoidance of censorship as if morality is not a factor but people are still having children
and even Disney respects the notion of age-appropriate material as the largest movie
production company in the world next to Warner Brothers. Everybody loves cartoons
and the values they communicate. We see Santa Claus and Christmas scenes in many
box office movies because, next to touch, the notion of a caring father, father figure or
simply a parental figure is central to many feelings, thoughts and social expectations of
those we anticipate are there to cover and to protect us. We have such a father in Heaven.
He covers and protects whether or not those to whom you were entrusted for your
formative experiences and upbringing succeeded to cover and to protect. Read Psalms
27.10. If they did not succeed, forgive.
