I think your over thinking it

I think fuck off this wasn't worth a notification

something something media portrays things differently to how it really is

Mankind has created a society that has only one purpose: To consume and be consumed. Natural resources, such as the animals, are highly sought for their value as final products for us to consume. The animals, however, don't understand the joy of being in a "consume and be consumed" lifestyle. They have what they need and need no more, so they take no more. This content irritates us as we will never be able to attain it. But we can try! This strong desire for content drives our "perfect" digital society crazy -- so much so that we push farther and farther from our roots, consuming all the resources we can, altering our existence and the existence of the animals forever, in a silly attempt to be content with what we have as a society. Most of the resources are used to make our digital necessities, our screens and couches that define how many of us think. We create ourselves in how we sit and what we watch. Eventually, however, the cycle of consume or be consumed is in peril -- there is no ample supplier of energy to fund our techy toys. So we begin to consume ourselves. We consume ourselves as a whole until there is the Greatest feat we will ever achieve -- and no one or nothing to power it. What we leave behind when we are all but consumed by our automated achievements is nothing but what once was the ultimate goal for our society -- and the lone stag, forever affected by what we have done, but by the grace of nature has been sparred. All that philosophical stuff aside, to me it looks towards the future. It's like: A meteor hitting earth or a nuclear war or something could wipe out humans, but it won't be the end of the world -- Just the end of humans and human achievement. We will leave our very, VERY obvious mark on this world and leave it for the lone stags of the future, ready to take up our reins, or walk a new path without our overbearing influence. Trippy, I know. -Stuart
