RE: Screwing with consciousness at the policy level || Profile of a modern trancewar architect
This is a very astute observation. That most people don't know that we had an anti-propaganda law in place for decades, and it was just repealed in 2013, speaks volumes about the level of trance we're under. I think we are properly equipped to read between the lines, but once you do you fall into one of the categories of "modern extremist," you know... anyone with a different political view, anyone anti-war, anyone who likes to feed homeless people on the street in Florida.
Are you talking about Smith-Mundt? Its repeal was unfortunate ... and unfortunately just the littlest tip of a very big iceberg.
I'd like to think that radical honesty, some basic psychology, and good communication skills is all it'll take for us to begin taking responsibility for what trance we would like our default setting to be.
I could not agree more, though I'd like to :)
I think the hard part for a lot of people is the radical honesty, and I know that many lack even basic understanding of psychology... Just saying we have our work cut out for us on that tall order
It is a tall order, especially since radical honesty can easily lead to destructive conflict if it is not paired with radical acceptance (of self and others).
