8th arm: The greed for power and the apparatus necessary to maintain it requires enormous financial resources. In many countries, these can easily be obtained through the exploitation of natural resources. Whether it is diamonds, gold or crude oil – they have triggered the greed for our planet’s resources, regardless of the consequences. We can expect major wars to be fought over natural resources. This greed leaves only losers and toxic wastelands in its wake— once the process of ruthless overexploitation has begun, only dead industrial deserts will remain. Nowhere left to live for people, animals and flora; everything will be radioactive; contaminated water sources will leave us without the basis for survival. We will have finally succeeded. Greed, growing slowly until it reaches a point of no return, is capable of creating conditions that will make Earth uninhabitable: with it we will exterminate ourselves and very likely most other life forms as well.

5th arm: Perfectly styled people from the entertainment industry do their part to make us feel that we don’t look good enough. We never see them up close, but their appearance, and the way they seem to radiate eternal youth and freshness make us envious and we want to try to be like them. And yes, there is a remedy: today beauty can be bought. You can freeze away all your wrinkles with Botox . And there are many beauty clinics that use silicone to contour your biceps, breasts and buttocks to the shape currently on trend – anything you like and with little effort. Full lips, oversized breasts, Instagram face, penis enlargement? No problem. We now no longer have to worry about getting older. Greed for beauty and fame has created a huge industry that pretends to relieve us of all these worries. External beauty can be bought, and so hundreds of thousands worship their idols and forget to take care of their own well-being. To keep up to date, you look at what the social media stars look like, thus allowing yourself be manipulated by others.

6th arm: Without noticing it, we are increasingly slipping away from ourselves, succumbing to the world of social media and opening up to complete strangers. The greed in social networks to have as many friends as possible, to indulge in gossip, to forget that there is a real world, makes many become lonely and addicted. You define yourself only through your internet groups; “likes” are your lifeline. Since you rarely experience anything, you have nothing to tell and your friends online already know all the digital gossip there is to know. Reading books, the feel paper in your hands is a thing of the past. But at least you feel alive for a moment if you take a quick picture— but why and for whom in this fast-moving world? Insomnia and fear of being ignored online are the consequences. Our dwindling feeling of personal identity eats away at our real lives, allowing influencers to become all-powerful.
