Have you ever considered that public space, urbanisation are a proto form of nudging.

If not, consider that the best minds in the 50 and 60 were considering subtle form of propaganda and manipalution by intelligent and adapted design of environment.

Outside conscious detection, the human herd in urban envIronment are manipulated, nudged, and controlled the same way cattle are milked in modern factories.

Those parks you seems to worship are just existing in your environment cause someone decided that you should worship those parks in your environment.

The remaining question is: for what ?

I would guess, happy and voluntary self alienation.

Nobody question the paradoxal stupidity of feeling lonely in the most dense areas existing on the surface of earth.

How can you feel lonely when you have more than a thousand peoples surrounding you in a range smaller than 100m away from you.



I worship those parks because they're nice. I've lived in North American suburbs too. You'd have to drag me back there kicking and screaming.

If a conspiracy is so nebulous that you can't define it's motives, perhaps you're grasping at straws.


Dude, what?

Parks are there so you can have a breather. There's no propaganda written on the trees, in the grass or in the sky.

You know, happy healthy people are good for the economy. That's all.


It's really quite impressive to equate access to nice parks to factory farming as a bad thing while also claiming that people must be socially sated because they live in densely packed areas.


the level of naive is quite fabulous. being downvoted by moron is a rare pleasure.
