It's pretty amazing what life in an echo chamber can do. I ran across a post a couple days ago by @corbettreport kinda gives me pause. Pokemon Go is the start of something that has potential to cross Orwell with Aldous Huxley and shortly shrive us all, or at least those given to such games.
If you haven't read it, you might wanna.
In my psts on critical thinking, I have noted that people dont use rationality when it conflicts with social belonging
we have to destroy the institutions that brainwash, coz people are going to run with the Narrative that has the most "popular" support
that @corbettreport story is scary, but not surprising, good find
The scariest thing about it is that it is such an obvious progression in behavioural control methodology.
I have noted that physical laws determine what technology can be developed, and that technology will be developed that is possible. I am presently stumped on how to combat this technology being used to negatively impact free agency. In other words, how to keep people from being enslaved through such technology - to the degree they are not already.
Perhaps, I must confess, it just isn't possible to prevent most people, those that go with the popular flow, from being so controlled. I suspect that this is something I have long believed, but that it generates such cognitive dissonance that I refuse to acknowledge it, and continue seeking a solution.
If most people are innately susceptible to such control, then I feel that my own freedom will also remain impossible to secure, as I will remain unavailed of nominal support necessary to prevent my own subjugation.
Fatalism rears it's ugly head, and I smile at my old friend...
bingo; this is my greatest motivator. I am committed to the ideas of liberty and justice, but I doubt I wopuld be as outspoken about them as I am if there wasn't the fear of where the tyranny path ends
sadly, people choose to be enslaved. I'm reading some Gustave Le Bon (Psychology of Revolution, Psychology of Socialism, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind)
IIRC, Part 6 of my Information War series goes into these emotional costs we pay to fight against these processes
