Who of us isn't a cog in the great societal machine, a facet of the all powerful "Market" that corrects itself? Markets can't run without vendors or customers, so aren't any corrections made a collaboration between the actors, not the location/ circumstance they are interacting in?
That's just one kind of alienation I see these days, one of oh so many. The things we invent become the things that shape our lives. The things we own dictating our actions, owning us. The conveniences we embrace begin to feel like necessities, and denial of them produces outrage. People are weird that way.
But of course, the one caveat when trying to predict or describe human behavior is this: once they know you're looking, some people change their behavior, just to manifest their need for control, and desire to determine their own fate. Meanwhile, they let the creations of man steer the course of their lives. But that's old news, people have known all this for years, they just weave a more elaborate web, repeating the same pattern ever wider.
Basically TBR (Toilet Bowl Reading).
Through 2014 each post was named for a song, which is linked in its title. click to listen (preferably launch in a new tab or window though)
2015 onward: I have no clue what will inspire my rambling, as if I needed anything in the first place? The reigns are off, and the rambling truly begins.
