Perception of Value
“Perceived value may then become a triangulated relation in between two different subjects – or people – and an object. Two different subjects that feel desire, and an appointed object that is desired. A rivalry or tension exists in between these two subjects, with one of them appointing and instigating the desired object, while the other one transposes or follows in that feeling of desire. This of course can go back and forth over the same object.”
Plastic Entanglement
“And now the scary part starts, plastics have been linked to all kinds of health risks, the eerie feeling that this material made from crude oil should be damaging to health and environment, is closer than you may think.
Because of the molecule structure of some types of plastic, even our bodies get confused, confusing the molecule with estrogen. The result? Our penisses are getting smaller, and girls are having their first period as e arly as age 5.”
