> Life in general is sales
Life in a society... where people are divorced from all material realities and only interface with the social... but that's not life in general. There are, for example, wars.
- kubami 5y agoBut then resolution of the conflict is sales. Wars don't end when people put down the guns, it's when people can reconcile their differences.
- DarylZero 5y agoWar probably wasn't the best example because, although I wasn't thinking of it, there's still that social element. My point is that war involves people directly interacting with physical reality in ways that aren't mediated socially. Modern high tech people live in a world where popular illusions and perception are much more important than gravity and inertia, but reality still exists somewhere, and sometimes it matters.
