I can dig it. This last century was the first and last great American Century. Our souls age getting sold out from under us, while we feast on the crumbs they leave behind.
Either become part of the machine, or don't. Either way, that's the way the wheels are spinning.
Your fallacy is that is inevitable. That is how your mind has been poisoned.

If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will:
It's all in his state of mind.
If you think you're outclassed, you are:
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You'll ever win that prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
