"Placement" ie. on the timeline, friend. Not target.

People tend to be afraid of the unknown — generally agreed to be symptomatic of the awareness of one's own mortality (some, less consciously than others). And, as the saying goes, "necessity is the mother of invention". Our prehistoric forebears came up with their own reasons why otherwise inexplicable things happened, and how — the real lucky shamans landed a "when" here and there, no doubt....

But, where that galvanizing (and often innocuous) superstition gained straight up viral status was with the invention of gods. That's religion. That "inescapable" caste system for your "soul". Completely fabricated for the sole ^heh purpose of population control in every capacity.

Now, what is your so-called "soul" if not made of your self-worth? Fast forward ~297,400 years to when a system of value placeholders is created (currency), and then a mere 1,300 years more for it to beget commercialism (not evolve; spawn). Then, driven by advertising, materialism, and greed, commerce rapidly gives rise to consumerism, et al. as we live it today.

These two parasitic institutions of our modern age are rooted in the same concepts, the same drive for control.

YouTube is in the system as much as we all are, and just like church: you can choose to be neither prey or product.

You choose.

Agreed. So clearly a shill, it's pitiful. Hope they don't get sent to the front, though. 🫣😅🤷🏼‍♂️
