Wow. Check out this article. This man is the living consequence of all we are trying to resist. Living his life to make money - for 'security'. He is the machine.  He doesn't buy comfort, he just keeps accumulating because he doesn't seem to know anything different. Clearly, he has let human connection diminish.

Yesterday I started reading 'anti-Oedipus by Deleuze and Guattari, I highly recommend it. Foucault writes the preface and in it lists things to live counter to all forms of fascism (including the fascism within all our heads that "causes us to love power, to desire the very thing that dominates and exploits us").

Here are a few of his suggestions:

• Develop action, thought and desires by proliferation, juxtaposition, and disjunction, and not by subdivision and pyramidal hierarchization
• Do not demand of politics that it restore the "rights" of the individual, as philosophy has defined them. The individual is the product of power 
• Do not become enamoured of power

I think theres something here we can use for our rationale...

See you soon,
