This is the age of mass production. The fellow who is owning and running the machine, the corporation, the empire, out of his greed wants you to consume.
“I am producing so much, but people are not buying it. Why? Because they do not need it. So, what do I do? I change their entire value system; I bring them to a lowly level of consciousness which tells them that the purpose of life is consumption.”
There is a particular value system that is being sought to be imposed on everybody. What kind of a value system is being preferred? The one that suits consumption. You don’t eat animals? You will be made fun of. You live an austere life? You will be made fun of.
