hear me out on this one
In an altered state this past weekend, I came to two huge conclusions, and one not so huge.
1. I figured out how to divide by 0. Can't remember it now, but it IS possible.
2. We as a society would starve to death if it weren't for the Useless Crap industry (ipods and such).
Here's how it works: In short, thanks to technology advances, we can now produce so far beyond our basic needs, that the only way we can sustain our economy and a decent rate of employment is to have a substantial percentage of our population producing, distributing, advertising, and selling things that we have absolutely no need for whatsoever. If we did not have the Useless Crap industry, then not only would there be more people out of work, but the overall demand for transportation of goods would lower substantially, thus raising the costs of transporting food, and subsequently the costs of buying the food for those people who'd be out of jobs anyway. So we'd all starve due to economic collapse.
3. Candlebox was a huge knock-off, sell-out, industry produced attempt at a grudge band. I hadn't realized this until one of their songs came on (during my altered state, of course). And I ate that shit up in high school. I guess the trend continues - high school kids know nothing about good music.
