Well...in terms

of meaningless and useless wants,one need only watch television with a jaded eye for a couple hours to discover that

people are largely controlled by meaningless and useless wants.Between hollywood and marketing firms bombarding our

children with all the things that will make them happy,we train peoples perceptions to the point that if we arent

spending money,then life just doesnt have purpose.

BTW,the machine of capitalism does in fact have a soul.It

soul is warped and twisted and dark and it feeds on the misery of others for profit.

That is not a soul, but

a psuedo-soul, the way I am casting it. It's a virtual soul, a cyber soul, an imitation soul, or a poor abstraction

of soul. It can be that because it has no tether or lifeline to actual soul, that would feed it soul.

I don't

think capitalism was originally intended to be that way. It originally came from human beings and their

souls.

Again the theme, like any theme of foolishness, is a state of being cut off from a big picture -- in this

case a big picture of humans that created a machine to meet human interest. Now the machine "operates independently"

from that interest or soul; as does the psuedo-understanding of that machine -- contemporary economics.

You seem

entirely correct with your first point.
