I think the larger concern people have with stories like this, is that it’s one part of all human culture becoming homogenized. And we feel something is lost when that happens.
As Terence McKenna put it:
“All culture is being destroyed, all culture is being sold down the river by the sorts of people who want to turn the entire planet into an international airport arrival concourse”
- cyberpunk0 8y agoNail on the head. Nice McKenna quote
- justin 8y agoEasy for Terence McKenna to say when he isn’t the one living the life of a nomad, or any other culture where those in it want to transition to a modern lifestyle. “The sorts of people who want to turn the entire planet into an international airport arrival concourse” are largely the entire planet.
- cyberpunk0 8y agoThat is an anecdotal opinion not based in much reality. And if the majority of the world really does wish to turn this planet into a mass, hollow consumerist engine to make rich people richer then get me off of it because we really should be killed by a meteor.
