We live in a culture of brainwashing, and debilitation, imposed by elites. You wonder why school was boring do you? Because it was planned that way. One room school houses were far less boring, and far less antisocial. You are bombarded with messages of violence far exceeding the common experience. As a result hypnotized people think it is an alternative, it is a way to get through living. These messages result in a socialization of violence through the military, or otherwise the antisocial criminal. The general public is also brainwashed by violence, and favors the death penalty. If these psychologists of mass media can create a violent society, they can also create a more peaceful an productive one. The elite will not even consider it, since they profit by the existing system of violence. It keeps people down, and that amplifies their class system, and increases the need for external security. War is extremely profitable, so what if their brainwashing process creates a few criminals? This is a very sad world, however it is mostly populated by good human beings. A society that treats people badly, cannot expect anything close to good results. "With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God. John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests: "Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world." "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein |
