Integrated Zeitgeist Solutions

Last summer, I saw a billboard for a massage therapist who claimed to offer “Integrated Massage Solutions,” which sounded perfectly absurd, but then I started to notice these terms everywhere. Everything is integrated. Everything is a solution. Yogurt companies don’t sell yogurt anymore. They sell “Integrated Yogurt Solutions.” Teachers don’t offer online classes, they offer “Integrated Education Solutions.”

This all seems part of the Fortune 500ing of everything, the same trickle down phenomenon which leads classical Christian schools to adopt the fashionable ethics and virtues of big businesses.

Harris: …and so that was when I knew I couldn’t be a Christian any longer.

Podcaster: You just have such an amazing, difficult story and you are so courageous for telling it. There’s so much brokenness in the world. And I know that I’m not exactly where you are, so I guess there’s sort of a… distance between us, maybe that’s the right word, but I deeply resonate with what you’ve said today. I think it’s so important stories like yours are amplified so we can all continue learning and growing.
