PHYLO Shiny People



This week we're taking on the 'light-sided' bias of PHYLO nation. You know the drill. Any/all negative emotion is outlawed and pathologized. Criticism can be considered violent communication, so keep your opinion to yourself. And if you're hurting? Well your the cause of that since every last thought you have is the origin of every experience you have so you must not be thinking positively enough or spending enough time in the 'now' or feeding your power animals or something!!! This is everywhere.

We are a nation addicted to anti-depressive meds and anti-depression messages. That why we can pop more pills than any country on Earth and simultaneously make "The Secret" the #1 book, DVD and internet phenomenon. This is PHYLO 101. And since they have the numbers in 'Somaland', that is the prevailing sentiment in the culture. We get outraged by who gets kicked off Idol, but not the Iraq war.

We obsess about celebritie's lives and never get to know our neighbors. We embrace Kabbalah when Madonna endorses it, and then freak out when religion and politics collide. It's reached the point where we need to re-examine what it means to be a citizen of the world, the United States, and the town we live in. The PHYLO glue that holds us all together is losing it's grip. We're actually lowering the standards for all kinds of behavior and then lashing out and making examples of people like Imus and Opie & Anthony, while we consume more violent movies, TV and music. Are you depressed yet?
