I've written about this in comments before. The basic problem is totally impersonal tools of communication. Ironically, we are engaged in one such space as I type these words. But the list is endless. My favorite - as the poster-child for the problem - is "We appreciate your business. Please hold for one of our agents" or any of the other infinity of machine-generated messages we are bombarded with daily. This is what I call "Corporate Thought". It strips all the infinity of spiritual experience from us and channels us into this very narrow band: the economic interest of whoever is responsible for the message we are listening to. This experience is absolutely de-humanizing, and we are subject to it dozens of times a week. We are every day less able to relate to each other as complete human beings, and every day more tuned to this "automatic" life. It's killing us, and those particularly sensitive to it and without the strength or knowledge to understand it fall into patterns of violence and self-destruction. It's super difficult to watch.
