“Johnson & Johnson isn’t just a baby company.” Not Alan Watts during psybient trance - lying on my back, eyes closed, breathing deeply for real - but a different, harsher voice shattered my meditation, in the middle of a song on YouTube. A salesperson climbed into my mind. Propped open my eyes with toothpicks. Not the end of a song, not the beginning, but boom! Interrupted, stabbing cortex, harshest buzzkill. Opened her sales kit, display samples, pamphlets, guiding me to sign click buy. When will we realize, when a new way of sustaining a system? Now we embody screen-flesh, robotic sales force, huckstering souls. Johnson & Johnson isn’t just a baby company. Don’t let those be the last words.
