So, I'm reading The Spirit Level and it throws out a number of challenging, frustrating, and interesting thoughts.
I decided I should share one:
Affluenza- "a set of values which increase our vulnerability to emotional distress"
"Advertisers play on this, making us dissatisfied with what we have, and encouraging invidious social comparisons."
I think that affluenza has a large, detrimental impact on our society! That, and I'm nerding out on the awesomeness of the phrase 'invidious social comparisons'. That one's going to come back up someday.
ciao, ben
