^^Some interesting points made there, but I dont necessarily agree with them. The first point is about everyone being named after watches could be coincidental, but I get the feeling it is a metaphor that represents how influential our capitalistic society is: people are being named after name brands now. Just another form of idealism if you ask me, that is designed to keep the poor pacified. I very much disagree with point #2. We do NOT get the system we want. We get the system that the BOURGEOIS wants, and then we are manipulated by various forms of idealism to believe that is what we want. Point #3, exception - not rule. And point number 4 is over analysis and really not accurate. The point is not to have everyone die by age 40, the point is that no should live forever while others have only a day.
