You're misunderstanding me. Deliberately, perhaps. In any case, you seem intent on focussing on the experience of being human, and a consumer of resources, while ignoring all other aspects of existence. This is absurd.
I am trying to encourage you to consider how resources are allocated. If you could for one moment limit your concerns regarding whether or not the big milky tit provides, and have some consideration for different means by which people's needs are genuinely addressed in the real world, we could perhaps talk more sensibly together. But you're going to need to make the enormous leap that comprises recognising authority isn't simply a brutal assertion of power for the purposes of control and limitation. Something a teenager might believe but surely not a mature fellow like yourself. As you say, people act 'on' information. The difference now is that information itself acts 'on' information in many contexts. This is an aspect of the digital paradigm. You might find this heavy reading and have difficulty fitting into an old fashioned conversation about the power that socio-economic strata exert over one another, but why not give it a go.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_modelThis is an area that's much considered afaik in analyses of political processes. It is neverrtheless a powerful structural paradigm with increasing significance in the way the world, and human experience of it, are constituted.
Here's a Sardar article you might find helpful. Maybe we need to bring in some accreditted authorities if this discussion is going to prove productive?
