a holistic, humane, and spiritual approach to elevating our collective awareness is written off as voodoo from "others" yet the rich, affluent in the West are increasingly gravitating towards it while the rest attack each other.
human advancement need not be digitally/pharmaceutically driven but good luck telling this to giants.
- vorpalhex 4y agoCorporatism is taking what people want (whether it's a shiny phone, or oneness, or meditative creds) and then selling that. Optimistically you would say they are selling expertise. You can try to figure out meditation on your own - but there's a lot of cranks and nonsense and some stuff that works. Or you can give headspace $20/mo and they will give you a good experience. Of course no mass produced experience can ever meet the true need. You can't mass market meditation - and we know this! Ask the Buddhists!
