If this excellent example by Chris Hedges illustrates anything most graphically, it is the fact that the biggest problem in America is NOISE! The shattering din of engineered chaos dehumanises. Like the corporate media it simply numbs the brain, and drives the entire organism into instinctual withdrawal. Just imagine a world of electric vehicles that are almost silent! Of urban spaces where birdsong is the only intrusion. This is what most distinguishes older more accommodating societies from the anarchic clamour of the mechanised conveyor belt of contemporary life.
Great point, David.
I use a push mower and can mow my lawn in the middle of the night it is so quiet.
David , have you seen the movie ”Noise” with Tim Robbins . i think that it is very topical .
