RE: 6 sophisticated Methods of Manipulation Consciousness
This was a really good post!
I hope more and more people learn about the different ways we tend to be manipulated. I was quite fond of the idea of fake news, because while it could be applied to the obvious case of false news, you could also cover all the ways the mainstream media could spin the news, create narratives, not cover certain issues or perspectives, manufacture consent (Chomsky wrote this so long ago!), that we need to be aware and arm ourselves with tools to getting a more complete picture of the world and the freedom to form our own opinion based on the truth.
Thanks for the idea, in the future I will do it.
Did you know the fact that the water that flows from the tap in many cities is chlorinated ?. We are told that chlorine kills harmful bacteria. But chemists claim that chlorine makes a person obedient and lazy. It affects the psyche. This thought haunts me.
Hmm, I'd be curious to see if there have been any studies validating that claim, it would be concerning if true.
It would be a little counter productive to do as a society since you would want society to work as much as possible, I've wondered if it's one of the reasons drugs remain illegal: because the percentage of society that would opt out of participating with the rest would be too much of an economic and health cost.
Until I found concrete confirmation of this theory.
Good thinking. My opinion is that drugs are illegal because they completely destroy a person. Morally and physically. It is not beneficial for the state to have useless slaves.
Another thing is alcohol. Alcohol is a legal drug with the consequence that we can be easily acquainted. People who constantly drink alcohol become weak-willed. But he will help to relax. Alcoholism and drug addiction are almost impossible to win.
The only person in history who completely conquered drug addiction in his country was Adolf Hitler.
