The bad news is that we are also living legacies to the ideologies that have shaped humanity, most namely, greed, avarice, hatred, violence, unhappiness, etc. etc. Why have we not evolved past some of these baser emotions?
Silly question really, we haven't evolved past these issues with humanity because they have been the driving factors in our continued evolution. It's been in the interest of the powers that be (as Icke calls it, the prison warden consciousness) to use our simplest emotive mechanisms as tools to control us.
This is called manipulation.
So with our history of being manipulated, along the way we've become entrenched with both the values which we've been manipulated to respond to, and to the actual process of being manipulated as well. Without this willful guiding we become lost and confused, which is not an uncommon feeling for a human (at least I hope not), as making decisions for yourself can be difficult when you're not used to it.
I mean sure I can pick out what I want to wear every day, whether I want a can of Coke or Pepsi, but could I choose between two drinks I didn't know existed? What if my wardrobe was replaced with the clothes of an alien from Sirius 5? Suddenly it's not a choice so much as an experiment.
What if the products that I choose from are really just crap that's perpetuating itself because it's endemic of the system of mass production and manipulated consumption (manufactured consent), and the real products, the things I need to make my life better, actually exist outside of my frame of reality?
What if the food I'm desperately hungry for cannot be bought, the music I want to hear is not recorded or packaged? What if money can't buy me happiness? What if this entire system (shitstem as we joked in art school) is pulling us into a moral (for lack of a better word) black hole where we can no longer remember the things that made life worth living, but instead are force fed the manufactured equivalent?
