It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

No idea why you think that's a paranoid rant.
The world IS a pyramid scheme, it just depends which part and how much it's visible to a non-suspecting, average person.
Things ARE made to NOT last, it's proven with numerous products. Just ask your (grand)parents how long the stuff from their stuff lasted. I bet you got that 30+ year old tv/washing machine/whatever even today
OT: It will NEVER get better as long as the people/corporations/organisations/however you want that "rule the world" continue to hold their positions.
The only thing we can do (since we can't really organize a world wide demostrations) is laugh at them cause they will eventually die as the rest of us.
