We are addicted to:

Pills, drugs, alchohol, fast food, trashy tv, porn, sex, newer clothes, a nicer car, a bigger house, more more more more...

This rampant consumerism hasnt happened by accident, it was planned. The welthiest nation on the planet has a 0% savings rate. That doesnt make sense.

This constant external stimulation is due to our inablity to find value in anything else. We are a really dull society without it.
