Various Orwellian and civilization infrastructure paranoia stories/films such as 1984 and Dark City explore a new age urbanization-related angst towards the healthy management of labor-labyrinths.
In the modern age, we see so much information and views streamed to us through the media that we might start to feel overwhelmed with all this stimulation. We might consider how such a 'sensory overload' is making us ultra-sensitive about new age requirements of labor analysis and labor consciousness, which is why we might zone out to relevant experience-indulgence films such as The Beach or Working Girl.
This 'bureaucracy depression' could possible a spiritual problem or a failure in the 'marketing' of welcomed and dialogue-friendly religious pluralism (since most religions talk about the burdens of labor and even equate it philosophically/metaphysically with suffering). While Atheists do offer us valuable insights regarding the Machiavellian/Nihilistic evaluation of a causality-free and Creator-free universe, they really have little contrary evidence to add to the discussion (e.g., "How do YOU know God does NOT exist?").
So we can look at this 'civilization bureaucracy depression' problem through the useful lens of spiritualism/metaphysics philosophy (and alternative belief systems --- e.g., Scientology, Atheism, etc.) can contribute to the discussion with valuable ideas regarding reversible logic and counter-point logistics.
If we're being inundated with stimulation in the media/TV, we could see why Woody Allen would make a sardonic film such as Celebrity. We might feel the 'real sweat' of tedium, unrequited love, and boredom associated with monotonous daily office-work when we fantasize about being 'labor-free' movie-stars or world-travelling fashion models.
This 'sweat/perspiration' we feel may have real biochemical impact and therefore exhibit psychosomatic symptoms. Could watching TV for hours on end (as so many housewives do) create mild forms of schizophrenia or anemia?
How do we feel when we see pictures of media-happy movie stars (e.g., Tom Cruise) or media-embracing terrorists (e.g., ISIS) strewn across the widely-accessible Internet? How should we spiritually 'filter' such images?
I think the most useful Bible passage in this modern age of People Magazine is the following: "And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs" (Exodus 8 - KJV).
