RE: The Psychology Of Control: The Stanford Social Media Thought Prison Experiment
I think you're right. It seems TPTB wants a cultural revolution
of sorts, but I don't think it's going to happen with this snow-
flake generation. You look at'em too hard and they'll melt.
Their entire project if you ask me was a huge waste of time and
money. I think the trend is passing, generation Z isn't buying it.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean and I do agree that they are losing the ability to control the high ground. Equally, whilst we rightly focus on the extremities of this spectrum the general consensus has also been quietly shifted to the left and so for the next round (and there will be one) they already have a starting point that is more weighed in their favor .. two steps forward one step back. But yes I have great hopes for generation Z .. I think intelligence is going to eventually outgrow the elite's ability to control it. One day they will be akin the proverbial little boy that's trying to hold the mighty dam back by plugging his finger in the hole .. except this dam will be consciousness and when it breaks it will sweep aside the last vestiges of the control system.
