what IS inunderstandable?

“This is the free market itself.  These people are a fantasy generated by the market.  They don’t exist outside the market.  there is nowhere they can go to be on the outside.  There is no outside… The market culture is total.  It breeds these men and women.  They are necessary to the system they despise.  They give it energy and definition.  they are market-driven.  They are traded on the markets of the world.  This is why they exist, to invigorate and perpetuate the system…What is the flaw of human rationality?…It pretends not to see the horror and death at the end of the schemes it builds.  This is a protest against the future.  They want to hold off the future.  They want to normalize it, keep it from overwhelming the present…How will we know when the global era officially ends?  When stretch limousines begin to disappear from the streets of Manhattan.” - don delillo, COSMOPOLIS

“This is the world we live in.  If you don’t take advantage of the rules, you’re a sucker.” - max barry, JENNIFER GOVERNMENT

answer: “”You wouldn’t want to worry yourself with so many things.  And do you know why” (The dog raises its ears at the inflection, giving the illusion of understanding…) “Because all of those objects would only mutiny and slap you in the face.  They’d only remind you that all you’re doing with your life is collecting objects.  And nothing else.” - douglas coupland, GENERATION X
