Richard Ayoade: Tyrannis

Quotes 

• Hippocampus : What happens if people ever really question the system? It will not stand up to even the most basic scrutiny.

  Tyrannis : They won't, because they're lazy, and even if one day they do, we'll be long dead by then, and it will be someone else's problem.

  Narrator : But the people never did lose faith. Rather than question how currency worked, they just went along with it, because they really liked buying stuff, which meant they needed more money. So everybody got jobs and worked themselves to the bone. All of this working ate up so much of their lives, they began to forget what made living special. But eventually the system grew so large, that trying to challenge it would mean the end of everything... so nobody did. And that's how we got Walmart.
