Separation

May 16, 2009

Can you compartmentalize life? I read a lot material that tries to do this but it ultimately conflicts with other bodies of work. What I do find problematic is that there is a division between how people compartmentalize life and how life is actually lived. Scholarship has failed to greatly improve the lives of others. And now society faces another juncture in its evolution and I am scared to see what is going to come. The last time an epoch event took place 300 cities erupted in urban rebellion. Goes to show that more that one road is needed to reach our final destination. Yet, what is our destination. I want to be a good person but even that is obscure. But I am not sure if doing that is a complex thing. If I try to do right by others and by myself is that enough? I would say yes but our current historical context doesn’t allow so. Our American society is heavily embedded within global capitalism. And there isn’t enough talk about how our culture is a representation of the hegemonic political, mode of production, and post- system. The way we walk, talk, interact all encompasses global capitalism. Our relationships with one another is an extension of that system. When we date and love its a totally self-serving ordeal. We break up, hate each other, fight, play games which further divides people. This benefits the current political, economic, and social structure. You have a million MBA candidates who aren’t aware of effective demand so there influx into the labor market proves problematic as there aren’t enough jobs, so in order to survive they take over institutions that aren’t fully integrated into global capitalism and mirco manage non-profits and street vendors. Everyones a hustler but no one is a giver. You can sale water to a whale but you can’t give the whale a drop without a fee. 

 

I wonder if how I have sex is a representation of the global capitalist system. I need to think
