Society Trap – Joe Rogan

5/5 - (5 votes)

I don’t buy the idea that you know the society the way it is right now, it has to be this way. Someone is always going to have to work at Burger King. Someone is always going to have to, I don’t buy that. I think people are pretty f*?king flexible, if you look at the broad spectrum of humans and human behavior from different cultures all over the world. It’s a pretty obvious to me that there is a lot of different ways that people can act.

We don’t have to have fast food workers.

We don’t have to have people who work sh*t jobs.

We don’t have to.

We just need to figure out how to restructure society, so everybody somehow or another plays a part, has something to contribute, has something to share.

I mean, that’s what a real society supposed to be like. I give you some coconuts, you give me some fish, you know, we make a deal. And you do it back and forth and left and right and when there’s nothing to contribute, then you start looking at our president needs to give us jobs, we need jobs. So instead of something to contribute, you just find something to do with your time. And then it becomes about doing that more than it becomes about finding something to contribute.

So society gets wrapped around becoming a part of a machine. Society, instead of becoming a bunch of individuals that are expressing themselves in unique ways, and everybody sort of borrows and shares and sells this and you sell that and we all sort of figure out how we can contribute in a society, we got sidetracked and diverted into these boxes that they call companies and corporations. And we got stuck into these containers, we call cubicles or offices, and we got forced into this system.

So our time instead of it being invested in making pottery, or fixing cars, or doing something where you have a passion or you have some sort of a connection to, instead of that, you have sold your life to sit in a box and work for a machine, an uncaring machine that demands productivity. It doesn’t understand you; it doesn’t want to understand you. It has a bunch of very strict things in order to keep the humour at a minimum in the office, just in case one of you f*?kheads says some stupid sex-jokes, that gets them sued, and they have to give somebody a million dollars.

So get it together and this is your life now: no natural behavior, everybody’s is wearing clothes they don’t want to wear, everybody’s showing up and doing something they don’t want to do, they have no connection to. That’s the problem with our society. And then what’s the reward for all this stuff? Go home, get a big TV. Go home; you’re going to get a shiny belt buckle. You’re going to get a nice purse. You’re going to wear shoes that you couldn’t afford last week. You’re going to get that dream car. And every week we’re chasing down this new object, and every week, we’re trying to fill this hole, in this sad shadow of a life that we’ve been left with after work. That you work eight to whatever the hours a day, plus commuting, and then you’re like this. (deep breathing)

And that’s your life. That’s your real f*?king life. All that other stuff is not your life anymore. All that other stuff is work. And most of us have committed to that. I know you have been in there before, and I know I’ve been in there before. And we understand that it’s a trap, because we got out of it. But for the people that are in it, a lot of times, they don’t even understand it’s a trap. They just think it’s a good job. They think they’ve got dental. I’m doing really good, I’ve got my own parking spot that’s got my name on it. You’re just a piece of a heartless shitty machine that makes money.
