"Is this the future for everyone, slaved to the corporate machine..."
For many yes but not everyone. I despise any big city. Visit sure but to live, hell No!
I lived in Japan for a few years circa 1990. About a 45 minute train ride south of Tokyo and it was like this as shown in the video. NYC is the same but much more aggressive, loud and faster pace. Those born, bred, work in big cities don't know any different and simply conform to that way of life.
Progress without wisdom is like giving a toddler a chainsaw. Sure, they'll get something done, but it won't be pretty and someone's losing a limb. We're sitting in a world where kids can't read cursive, can't make eye contact, and think hard work is remembering a Wi-Fi password. But we've got software that can imitate Shakespeare.
