We try to meet our every need however there is no satiety, only more want. This reflects our most fundamental neurochemical pathways that have been created to make us productive. In society our technologies have met our every need apart from pacification from want, they are now pacifying us from reacting to crises. Movies have us believe that there is one villain Rothchilds, Illuminati, Darth Vader... but in fact, it is the machine itself.
Medical Pacification
If we cannot pacifiy oursleves with our environment we ask help from our Asking for help and all that is available are SSRIs/MAOI/Antipsychotics which are essentially sedatives
Genetic Pacification
Our genes which have historically acted in our defense are now our worst enemies. We have evolved to work within scarcity however in a Western world full of excess, obesity is one of the biggest killers. Whilst we have evolved to procreate to ensure the survival of the species overpopulation is draining our resources.
Cultural Pacification
Static media, antidepressants, computer games, smartphones are not unlike adult pacifiers.[1] Whilst a baby will have a need for milk and the mother's teat, adults have more complicated desires. Could it be that tolerance in the wider world for despots has occured as our inventions provide an escape for our warriors?
