Isolated System

First, put the volume on! You must feel the bass line on this one! Perfect ride!

Well, you can already guess, I am huge fan of Muse. They are true food-for-ears. Furthermore, they reflect perfectly some of the main global issues. It was clear since forever that music cannot change the world. It may influence individuals, but it won't affect the people who are products of our pop-culture. Yes, I am fond of making a certain sharp division between people who are products and individuals in this society.

What is a Product?
It is a person who has lost its individuality in the long run in our society. It is a person affected by popular phenomenons and a person devoted to materialism. We are society of production and production. We always want more and more. We always want something new; we want new gadgets, new clothes and then we want this and that. These product-persons are grabbing always more and more. They prefer the City Malls and they are fond of checking in on Facebook from fancy cafes, empty heads who do not read books or watch quality-made movies. I sound too harsh? I know I do. Never mind that!
How to connect this with Muse?
Very easy! In a system where everything is focused on production and sale and more production and more sale; in a consumer's made society, the entropy can only increase. What will be the final scenario? In their Isolated System video, Muse are making an outstanding metaphor of one plausible outcome of such system. It is an isolated system, a narrow-minded system. It is our system.

Dear reader, I hope you are not a product!
