“What did you get out of this quote? What did you picture? “Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy… and rather than addressing these conditions, it chooses to profit from them instead. Imagine this society maintaining an industrialized, and perpetual state of fear and discontent that sells temporary escapes like drugs, sex, consumerism and alcohol to keep its society functioning and complacent. In other words, this society would focus entirely on modifying an individual’s internal state, so that they would be able to tolerate social conditions, that they would otherwise find completely intolerable.””— — Ted Kaczynski
