Most of their work of late has been movie and TV soundtracks.

I’ve been a fan for over 30 years so am heavily biased, but I can’t name a miss from the scores Trent and Atticus are responsible for.

Economics is the control system which filled the void in society vacated by religion after the enlightenment.

An arbitrary set of rules, conjured by the ruling class, obfuscated and protected from scrutiny, and imposed on the weary masses.

Finance, an arbitrary subset of mathematics, serves as its mythology.

Banks and financial institutions serve as its churches and cathedrals.

Economists serve as its priests.

God replaced by GDP.

I want wealth to be an indicator of a well-rounded member of society, instead of its current role as a proxy for sociopathy.

Also, how about relabelling excessive financial accumulation as something along the lines of ‘financial obesity’.

My take, informed from decades of personal experience, is the most effective form of suicide prevention is to create an environment (world), in which one can legitimately and actively, choose to participate in when we’re at our most vulnerable.

For me, my depression and suicidality spawns from my inability and unwillingness to develop my sociopathy to a level required to be mistaken for an acceptable participant in the world today.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment.

Make the shareholders responsible for the morality of the corporation.

If one has been found to have acted in a sufficiently harmful manner to the society within which it resides, its assets and capital should be seized, auctioned off or destroyed, and the proceeds distributed to their victims.
