Settlers is weird in some places - and I still haven’t read most of it, just skipped around - like scoffing at college education as essential, but i think there is a lot of interesting stuff in there too

    I think the point may have been more of a “look how society makes these things, which should be luxuries, completely mandatory.” I think it may be trying to push for the point that western society is set up in a way for force consumption onto people whether they like it or not.

    Sakai is a bit of an enigma to me tbh though, so I could be way off and this is just a charitable reading of it.

      That’s basically what my own conclusion is when considering the situation. I didn’t get that from the couple pages posted here, but, I can be wrong.
