text: are all human cultures inferior to global capitalism?  is global capitalism the post-modern tower of babel?   yes we are merely tools and commodities. don't for one second think that capitalism empowers anyone. it turns everyone and everything into capital.  well, supposedly god struck down the tower as a warning against anyone trying to reach up to his level. i think a closer analogy would be icarus getting too high up thinking he's so great and having his wings melt and fall apart. capitalism will collapse on itself eventually.
