fill in the blankness

Technology is great. It lets me make music from pure mathematics using electrical circuits. It lets me have unlimited communication with people around the world. It fixes my injuries. It lets me buy apples down the street that were grown in Fiji. But, technology is powerful, more powerful than most people realize. It came along a couple hundred years ago, and society started to change. By the mid 20th century, technology had come a long ways, and society had changed accordingly. See, the thing that technology really allows is for humans to live easy- going lives. Technology provides us with all the things we need to get by in life.

Technology lies down a path for us, a very easy path. Through the media, technology shows us how we can enjoy our lives more fully. Technology shows us the way.

Well, this have been going on for quite some time now. The 1950's is now real history, even though not much has changed sense then... except now we have computers. Generations have passed, growing up in the technological world. Choosing the easy path of technology.

Basically, people have changed. We have allowed technology to control our lives. Through the media, we are brainwashed into having certain desires, certain needs, that are not really human. We crave things that humans did not used to need, like nice, shiny automobiles, cool clothes, makeup, breast implants, Twinkies. And, because of this, certain things that have been normal human characteristics have faded away, replaced by materialism. One of these characteristics is paganistic celebration... dancing... to repetitive beats...outside... under a full moon.

This was stolen from us a long time ago, mostly in the form of dogma, from organized religion. But today, it seems even weirder. I guess it is because you just never hear about it. You never see it on sitcoms. Sienfeld has never done it. It is just not socially acceptable. People, dancing all night in nature, having fun... they must be weird!

But, after you actually try it, you realize that this is one of those things in your life that has been missing. One of the few things that actually gives you satisfaction. Why? Because dancing for long periods of time under the stars is something genetically encoded into us. It is something humans have been doing for thousands and thousands of years, and has only recently (in the last 2000 years) been eliminated from most human's lives.

Of course, technology, rather, those that control technology (corporations) do not like to see us getting more human. They want to control us like cattle. And it is so much easier to control a race of robots who mechanically react to what they see on the media, than it is to control real human beings (humans with souls). The corporations, and the corporation's subsidiaries: the media and the government, will do everything in their power to keep us from diverging from the path of technology, and reclaiming our human souls.

Dancing under a full moon is something that shows you what it is like to be human. It pulls you away from the man-as-machine model they are trying to mold you into. If more people got out to the desert to dance, I think we would see the world start to change into a more human-oriented race using technology, instead of a technology-oriented race using humans.
