‎"If consumerism continually scours the margins of society for rebellious or contrary notions and then immediately turns them into stuff to sell - it ironically becomes very difficult for new ideas to change society. Instead they tend to end up reinforcing it."

it got me thinking about ideas, and
the way ideas once changed the world, in the 60's, and
things were better, but
then they got worse again. is it really another idea we need?
my cousin works for HP [one of the 5 major corporations, or was, either way, a world player] she sees the future over sea's. she sees American compounds on chinese soil. the promise land, another mans land. my friend has brilliant ideas. he is behind the whole skpye global campaign. he has a factor of Japanese science /engineering kids pumping out new ideas /technologies aimed at changing the world. he is a hippie sympathizer.
if our ideas are generating the same solution continuously then we must not actually be having ideas. we are instead celebrating the same victory over, and
over again. we are not changing the world, we are in fact doing something much more ordinary.
