I suspect the pseudo-cultural distractions are insidious and much more subtle than we can easily see. Its like we've become the very tools we thought useful for OUR own benefit - all wrought by years of crafty corporate planning designed to keep us sharp, squared, well-oiled and running smoothly, in other words, compliant. Both machine and manufactured product, I think, are the source of our distress and what Mr. Whelan is referring to.

Thank you for this post, sprink.
