We are no longer homo sapiens: we're cyborgs. From Adbusters #106: Mental Breakdown of a Nation VALERIE BELIN / EDWYNN HOUK GALLERY / NEW YORK Each day, our porous skin opens less and less to fresh air, sunlight, the touch of others, the smell of pine, rain, compost, and manure . . . and instead we find ourselves hunched over machines in the standard posture of reverence, bowing our heads to the humming and warm computer-pets that rest on our laps or in our palms. It took millions of years of evolution for life on earth to move out of the oceans onto land, where our phylogenetic ancestors gasped for their first breaths on a pebbled beach. Now, some 590,000,000 years later, we find ourselves panting for air on a virtual shore. We're embarking on the second greatest migration in the history of life of earth, from the physical world into virtuality. In the span of just one generation, we've been completely wooed over by the entirely-cerebral and entirely-virtual adventures accessed when... - Adbusters Magazine

No one to sing "No Future." From Adbusters #106: Mental Breakdown of a Nation SCARLITO In Britain there are no human beings or citizens, no. There are live money beings. The population allows this to happen. They allow the state to tax them very hard and no real protest happens. They seem to like it, or they are just under the spell of a very organized propaganda. After all it is for the common good. Let’s all in Britain scream in one united voice that we want a very expansive private educational system perpetuating social walls. Here is another idea: why not, instead of letting older generations freeze in the winter, the banker boy just shoots them all. It would be more dignified. He could even privatize this and get some tax out of it. Britain is heading towards an intellectual black hole. In Britain there is no social critique or artist that inflames the masses.
