Check out these brilliant observations by TheLogicJunkie about the "ego holocaust" in America and how we sadistically devour each other like cannibals there.

With all the videos he produces complaining about the US, he could have figured out a way to get out by now if he had channeled his energy into that pursuit.

Some people would rather spend their lives complaining instead of doing something.

He has a book on Amazon so i am sure that he is working on leaving. That video was good.

Here is the link to his book on Amazon. It's called "Thou Shalt Not Think: The Brutally Frank Guide to Life"

The video above makes a lot of good points. You should all listen to it if you haven't yet.

In a lot of his videos where he complains about society, he talks about the whole world being dysfunctional, not just the US. So he may assume that the US is the world, and assumes that what he describes applies to the world, not just the US. Thus, he may not realize that things are much different abroad.

Here is another great one by TheLogicJunkie where he rants about how toxic, synthetic and inorganic America's atmosphere has become, and how you are not allowed to love or have affection anymore in America, but instead, are only allowed to love the company and the time-clock. A bit over the top, but so true. He also does a sarcastic imitation of the model citizen in America with some good acting, which is funny as hell. You guys gotta check it out.

Check out this dissertation by Zen teacher Alan Watts about illusion in American culture, and how it in fact makes America non-materialistic rather than materialistic.

I got a fan email related to this:

"wow. I just moved to Thailand from the USA. I started thinking last night about why I didn\'t like America and did a google search about \"American egos\" and found this. It\'s absolutely spot on and the absolute truth. I was born in the USA but spent 3 of my developmental years in England...when I came back..I always felt like I just didn\'t quite fit in and never understood why. I never had trouble fitting in.. I was good at sports and am what girls consider \"cute\"..I even became and actor in Hollywood. But it just never felt right..and it was because I never felt comfortable with my own ego and hated competing with other egos. But sadly, you have no choice in America...you have to have a huge ego to survive, flourish and live a nice life of material success."
