Most people don't realise that they use a system of Symbols to think with, visuals for the most part, others for abstractions. Some are more surface symbols and others go directly to the root of the brain, to the "mother cells", those that recognise your mother's face, or make you THINK twice about harming anything with no chin, big eyes and a round head.
These people know what they are doing. They are creating a series of symbol systems to RE-IMPRINT americans, and these days a lot of what you see, hear, touch and smell is literally created by Corporations. Your REALITY is not real, you just THINK IT IS :)
A lot of people I call "repeater stations", and they are the ones the media depend on to get the word out and WARP the Public at Water coolers, gabbing in malls, talking on the phone.
A simple statement gets parsed and passed and soon everyone is saying it over and over.
"Drugs are Bad" (Really? But my mom would DIE without drugs) - And you CAN'T argue that Drugs are GOOD, or that Saddam was relatively helpless, because the "repeater stations" have been pumped and primed and are standing next to your ready to use that godalmighty "peer group pressure" system (doesn't go away after being a teenager) and other cute mental things like "Ethoeccentricity" - "We have the best bowling team." "We have the best country" "We are the good guys" "WE are table Number 1".. that one is the most dangerous of all cultural conditioning.
GREAT writing, we need more thinking skills on this board, and you are providing that service, much appreciated, Critical thinking skills rather than a nice drive by post of "You Suck and you HATE GOOD people here.." :)
If people only knew how many of their buttons were being pushed, even on this board, they'd shit.
Thanks so much,
