#HerbertMarcuse disagrees because:
'The roots of repression are and (WILL) remain real roots; consequently, their eradication (WILL) remain(s) a real and rational job.👉What is to be abolished👈 is not the reality principle; not everything, but such particular things as business, 👉👉politics👈👈, exploitation, poverty." To forget this is to "mystify the possibilities of liberation", "
-Herbert Marcuse debate with Prof. Norman Brown, from Theodore Roszak's making of a counterculture
The problem with this meme is that it perpetuates the unrealistic view of a billion. People just do not grasp how much a billion is. Consider this 500 x 365.25 = 186,625 now 186,625 x 5000 = 913,125,000. So why are these numbers significant? Think about it this way. If I gave you $500.00 everyday for 5000 years then you still would not have a billion dollars. Think about that. Obviously a billion dollars in our largest denominations is not going to fit in a lot of buildings let alone a wheelbarrow.
The next time you here about a billion (or a trillion) really think about how much that really is (especially in relation to debt).
