Recent comic: Cutting out the Middleman

I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

I saw this on FB earlier and immediately thought it was a comment on spiritual bypassing (the tendency for some spiritual folk to use their beliefs as a way of avoiding challenging personal or political realities).

Then I saw it had been shared by the meditation teacher Tara Brach with the caption, 'the wisdom of elders 💕'. She clearly took it the opposite way.

How do you see it? Curious what the cartoonist intended.

Two dogs wait by a table where a man is dining. The smaller, younger one says, 'He hasn't tossed us any food.' The older one replies, 'Trust the process.'

Found this in my old birbsite archive. I sometimes compare Blender to a violin, and this one is equally apt.

Savage Chickens by Doug Savage. One chicken, holding a violin, says to the other: "I don't want to practice! I want to skip ahead to the part where I'm awesome".
