discrimination. Whereas a duality inherently precludes a gray area, piles are all gray area – and isn't that what the world truly is, there are no true extremes only models and laboratory notions of extremity. In actuality everything tends to fall in the middle ground somewhere.

  Like a needle stuck between two ultra-magnets, the people of this civilization often find themselves pulled toward opposing extremes, paralyzed by the forced duality that society imposes. Frequently, people are simply unfamiliar with the concept of middle ground. Most people are either unaware or unwilling to accept that their environment is neither light or dark but rather a foggy noon shadow. The middle ground can be dangerous territory in our exclusive society.

  This is why we need to move piles. If we can raise awareness about the non-existence of extremes in the natural environment, we can attract more thought towards the middle ground, and this is all it takes to topple the exclusionary system of capitalism – more thought. In order to remake our economy, we must generate thought outside the duality paradigm promoted by capitalism. Thought is one of the most omni-directional operations delivered to us by evolution. Thoughts spring out of any and all spectral pivots. Thoughts can explode at the speed of light or collapse into us in reverse. Capitalism's attempts at branding thought toward one extreme or the other, or more relevantly, to induce us into thinking that choosing between a Ford or a Chevy is a real choice has been capitalism's greatest tool in fighting the battle against complex thought.

  Thought is hard to come by under a capitalist system. The structure is geared towards making decisions for you. Sure you can decide if you want to buy a Nokia or a Motorola. You can decide if you want to buy Frosted Flakes or SmartStart. But the decision to buy a cell-phone or a breakfast cereal is all but made for you. Similarly, the decision to buy a car is pre-determined for most American commuters. There are no other personal conveyance designs for suburban residents. In a system beyond capitalism we could have access to a myriad of alternatives (imagine commuting to work in a water powered sphere, vertical bed, motorized kite or horse-drawn carriage, to provide just a few possibilities).

  You are never allowed to decide how these items are made. And you are never allowed to decide how you will use your car or your carbohydrates. Highways and breakfast slogans determine this for you. Aside from this, most brands of the same product, despite marketing's best efforts, produce the same product with only slight variations in the amount of fructose and corn syrup.

  Fortunately, for the future of our thoughts, capitalism has created an engine for its own usurpation. Yep, piles.

There is a science that dictates capitalism's ineffectiveness. That science is known as thermodynamics. The particularly engaging aspect, for our discussion, of thermodynamics is its 2nd law. This law has the utmost impact on the relationship between capital and piles. Without this law, there would be a lot less piles floating around your neighborhood.
