Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I ran across this term today while just snooping around the internet. I hardly ever start threads, because you guys are so much smarter than I am. I would never be able to defend myself in a spirited discussion.

Life in that sense, as self-realization, is more and more what’s minimized by the economic paradigm of human organization, so that it can maximize income. That’s what a broken paradigm means, and because it is the problem inside all the problems, that is what needs to be fixed, reversed, upended, turned around, with a better one. So how can we —"
