The blog is called ten percent because of what Kurt Vonnegut wrote when remembering Susan Sontag - She was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10 percent of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10 percent is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80 percent could be moved in either direction.-
And I'm writing it because I need the therapy and I lust for world domination.

I guess people feel the need for bigger and bigger houses so they can fill them with ever greater quantities of junk.
Sometimes its junk filled with junk. I was talking to a green architect recently about what passes for modern building standards/materials. Seems many new houses were “built to flip.”

That is very true, I see for many people their role is to consume, to buy stuff that fills up their house, because…well what else can you do? Happiness would need some control over your life, equality and that is not forthcoming in a consumer market.
