BUYING ISOLATION

It’s very visible. Americans buy spatial freedom as their first priority. Spatial freedom, along with the destruction of marriage, are why household incomes are not keeping pace in the lower classes.

With spatial freedom you no longer have to compromise with others over the mundane things.

But then your self perceived signals are all contrived. And others don’t reinforce them. And we feel alone and isolated. And contentious.

Here the majority don’t have that kind of freedom. And so the signals are less misleading.

And they are more civil because of it. And since relationships are cheap entertainment. And these people are relatively poor – at least for white people – they interact with one another.

It’s not consumerism that’s the social problem. It’s the epistemically problem of isolation and a failure for our signals to endure the test of exposure to others. 😉
