beautiful, but the part about liberty is important.

3 generations is enough to makes people servil, stupid, and loving their golden cage..

North corea is just not even a golden cage.

 

but ignorance is bliss, she talks about the fact that she was feeling nothing for people death on the street when she was in north corea.

 

So maybe love "is a disease we spread :D" if she wasn't aware it existed and didn't feel anything ?

does that mean that empathy is a delusion though ? She probably had some, but she extrapoled a bit for the ted, I doubt human are passive to human death, even as a pure psycho there is at list a "noticing", probably more a self defense mechanism to keep surviving.

 

I was feeling sad for her, but in the meantime, it's not only "north korea", every egoic society needs his "north korea side".
