Hyper Reflectivity In Times Of Absolute Meaninglessness

Somewhere between Thoreau's simple analogy of railroads being built upon the back's of men and Marx's theory of commodity I pondered what systems operate off the output of some underpaid population today. The answer shocked me.
As the growing market supplies more and more products to greater and greater population with wants....we've all fallen, hook line and sinker for an imposed ideology. We all work in some fashion as part of the manufacture, delivery, or consumption of some product. The ultimate conclusion then is, to quote Deleuze and Guattari, we're "desiring machines." The absolute irony is that businesses serve to codify desire thus we work for a system that seeks to deliver wares which we think we want because the system suggests so. Wanting....a topic of Buddha, Marx, Deleuze and Guattari.....
