What are society's low consciousness behaviors?

[enchanted]

What are some things that we do today that will be illegal and seem  primitive by people in the future. (I.e. slavery or child wives) 

I think pollution, gas cars, wars, are a few.

Pretty much all of it. We've a long way to go.

Some things that spring to mind for capitalistic societies:

 

Unrestrained growth mindset: using the resources of the Earth unchecked.

Huge wealth inequality. Does any one human being really need a billion dollars?

Selling cheap food that is poisonous to health in the long run, food with high sugar, salt and fat.

Poisons such as nicotine and alcohol being actively marketed.

Strong disconnect between government and what the majority of people actually need and want.

The general mindset of society that anything goes when making money, even if it is detrimental to people or the planet.

Entrenched and sanctioned gambling in the form of stock markets, think 2008 crash.

Inability for governments to have long term action and strong commitment on things like climate change.

Inability for legislation to keep pace with technological change.

 

I could go on...

@Ramanujan of course not, someone has to do it.

One day the concept of a 9-5 job will cease to exist, in its current and similar formats.

Then it will be replaced by something else.

Allowing money to get so deeply entrenched in our political system and healthcare system in the US

 

Creating these systems to enslave ourselves

Taking the subway & bus seem to be pretty low for most people. It doesn’t need to be though. It’s like consciousness could be conscious even on the bus.

Amazing answers, thanks everyone.

Drinking alcohol or at least regularly has to be a big one.

Making topics on how society is driven by "low conciousness".

Implied "I am above" when I can only observe myself 😉

People on this forum are above the worst of society, easily.

You can observe others too, although their minds are different types of objects to you than yours. (Although yes they are also you).

Not a scam but slavery.

The problem is not being able to live from one's work because capital is stolen by those who own the means of production and distribution, and line their pockets in the process.
