Which came first; A.D.D./A.D.H.D.,
or a subconscious unwillingness or perhaps even inability
to give half a genuine **** about anything going on?
I believe social, media, technological, and habitual programming
are at least some of the antecedents to these Modern chemical scapegoats:
Bureaupharmipseudocures, baby!
Causing more problems
justifying more Pharms
making some people rich
depriving and inuring the rest
almost as if depicted in
BRAVE NEW WORLD
Beloved, distracting, ubiquitous Handheld Devices
with cameras, speakers, headphone jacks and microphones
which, at any given moment,
can just as easily be used by you
as be used by Big Brother to keep tabs on you
through GPS, recorded sound and video, transferred and stored data, and company records
almost as if depicted in
1984
"HOLY ******* ****!"
I practically hope you're saying
(ideally, this is old news)
"FOLLOW THE MONEY."
I hope you're realizing.
IT ISN'T THAT HARD, FOR NOW,
THANKS TO THE INTERNET.
Without the internet being a public, secular (in terms of politics) entity,
it would be neigh impossible to follow the money
without extensive efforts made by very brave and hopefully cunning *******.

I just made up the word Bureaupharmipseudocures as I was going along. I like it.
Bureau, as in "business" as well as "inefficiency";
pharmi, as in "business of getting rich off others' sicknesses";
pseudo, as in "not really whatever word comes next";
cures, as in "what you would expect from a medical institution which claims to have the answers for us."
