agree.disagree.
for some
the free market is a religion.
in parallel
organised religion is capitalism at its best.
(it has, naturally, a large consumer base)
not that there's anything wrong with capitalism. but i must say, i find it so ironic that the very pioneers of the free market economy were led to buy out ('nationalize'?) various (allegedly) private financial institutions. karl marx would have felt so amused.
i'm not taking any sides here. i don't know near enough to do so, yet certain organizations scare the shit out of me for some reason.
p.s. please watch all these videos.

not to hard to guess eh? :)
on that ironic free market thing, i think modernity made people believe in deliberate changes as the answer to everything, machines, laws, systemized morality, and therefore it is inherently contradictory to the idea of freedom. contrary to what the world of democracy tells themselves, what they are enjoying is not freedom, but leisure and complacency. and people are doing whatever they can do to keep that laziness. so yeah, i think it's its nature that free market intervenes itself.
m. : you're referring to modernity as zeitgeist right? although i don't have an issue with any form of radical intervention, some will always exploit a flaw in the system and hence it will continually be challenged and refined.
another thing - people tend to adapt. i think that's one of human being's most endearing trait. but what i hate is the sense of righteousness we attach to our values, followed by utter shamelessness when we contradict our values.
