This American Life: Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory

WTF.....I heard this Sunday, this is extremely disturbing, this would have been the future of all of humanity (except the Status Quo) if Industrial Civilization were not already collapsing. I still believe we should help that process along...

The Chinese are also facing economic collapse, with entire command economy mandated cities remaining uninhabited while the chinese people live packed together like rats in vast subterranean Cold War complexes beneath Beijing...There are limits to what the human spirit can endure....The Chinese have been organizing mass protests, even in the face of disappearance, death and torture, akin to our own "Occupy Everything" phenomenon. If it isnt obvious, this is a global phenomenon.

The Chinese people, just as the Arabs and just as the Americans will not tolerate living in such conditions only to perpetuate a virtual utopian life experience for an extreme minority of Humanity.

The Status Quo must go. Out continued survival and well being is contingent on a reappraisal of the core myth-perceptions that are both a product of and that under-gird Industrial Civilization and a rapid reorganization around principles of egalitarianism, localization, and a recognition of the interconnectedness of all life, with everything that implies.

Mass Extinction Event or a (r)Evolution of Consciousness?

Both?
