Puritans, capitalism, education, somnambulists, travel, and being unemployed

***

The new puritans are same as the old, using guilt to modify behavior.

Capitalism must eventually give way, but to what?

What's in a word? Everything!

Attention is the antipode of abstraction.

Eclectics, the new education of individuals by choice from options; selecting from different sources, not a blanket education.

Perfunctory somnambulists- tradition mongers.

Travel supplies us with newness, which requires attention, giving way to the experience of the wildly improbable universe which has been lost through labeling (confused with knowing), and false cultural confidence.

Those that deride the unemployed for being a drain on society make the assumption that the unemployed person believes that the society should be supported in the first place.
