Though I know from other posts of yours that you are trying to buck the consumer/worker lifestyle, too, like most of us here. Maybe you could emphasize that a bit more? To show that you aren't rejecting your physical reality.

Just my theory.

I know you were talking to Caveman here but this is an interesting point. I tend to focus on the internals here because we are, after all, in a thread about internal (emotional) effects of Avatar, and it is those internal effects that bind us together.

I think also we have seen how talking about actions in the external world is where we start to draw apart, and disagree about what to do. This has been a problem for movements of all kinds. Look at, for instance, the huge rifts in the civil rights movement, even though they were all agreed that they wanted a world without prejudice. So those of us seeking bonding and commonality gravitate towards the watering hole of discussing emotional states.

But, point taken that internalization without external action is like pissing in dark pants. (Assuming that's the point you were making.) That's probably fodder for a different thread, though.
