Wall E: Humanity's Future

Government or Corporation? Which master do you choose?

Friedrich Nietzsche famously proclaimed that "God is dead." then asking:

"how shall we comfort ourselves? ... What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"

Nietzsche argued that without a god to provide a sense of purpose and direction, humans would seek out new sources of authority and meaning.

Some have turned to government as a replacement but in the wake of the Enlightenment shift away from religion and traditional values, society now over-emphasizes hedonism, comfort.

So perhaps private corporations are the ultimate and coming replacements, as beautifully articulated by Pixar's 2008 Wall-E.
