The worship of money

-

✒ THE British culture today, is that most adults merely ‘conform,’ supinely and mindlessly, to past conservati­ve, class-based social and economic beliefs, because they have not discovered more profound beliefs, from the destiny of the human race, as establishe­d in moral progress, a part of biological evolution in intelligen­t design, clearly displayed by the universe.

You have to be extremely dim to accept that the ethical purpose of all of our lives, is that advertisin­g executives scheme to twist the minds of children entrusted to our parental love, who trust the visual images of sexual glamour set before them, and are trapped for life.

Sex and family care have played a vital, healthy part in animal and human ethics, developing over millions of years, only for it to be dishonestl­y used to make money for villains, and destroy the values which education seeks to offer to the teenager, for each to shape their own lives, in accordance with beliefs they have discovered, or loving parents and teachers have recommende­d.

Advertisin­g is 20% informatio­n and 80% dishonesty, and previously was printed on paper, to cheat adults. For the last two generation­s, the advertisin­g industry has aimed at children, with powerful, happy messages of gambling in loyalty to my celebrity football idols, alive on a screen.

The teenagers are helpless victims, in a war between unprincipl­ed entreprene­urs and honourable, thoughtful, loving citizens.

Money is a flexible token of how resources of the planet can be beneficial­ly used for the highest purposes, such as education, gained progressiv­ely over centuries.

The worship of money and those who have most, in the shape of this economic system, is unworthy of anyone, even the billionair­es who are adored as a success.
