Re: Isn't it a signifier (4.00 / 4)
It's not the signifier that's the problem, it's the mindset it signifies.

You can change the mindset, but it's going to take time, and a massive and probably quite unpleasant retooling of the entire Western value set.

Re: Isn't it a signifier (4.00 / 3)
Not a "Western" value set at all. Status competition is universal across mainstream human culture.

It is the signifier that matters.

Re: Isn't it a signifier (4.00 / 2)
Yes, but I'm suggesting there's a reason why one signifier is chosen over another.

And if you change that reason, it's easier to change the signifier to something less damaging.
