“The continual intrusion into our minds of the hammering noises of arguments and propaganda can lead to two kinds of reactions. It may lead to apathy and indifference, the I-don’t-care reaction, or to a more intensified desire to study and to understand. Unfortunately, the first reaction is the more popular one. The flight from study and awareness is much too common in a world that throws too many confusing pictures to the individual. For the sake of our democracy, based on freedom and individualism, we have to bring ourselves back to study again and again. Otherwise, we can become easy victims of a well-planned verbal attack on our minds and consciences.”

Rape of the mind

Logic can be met with logic, while illogic cannot – it confuses those who think straight. The Big Lie and monotonously repeated nonsense have more emotional appeal… than logic and reason. While the [people] are] still searching for a reasonable counter-argument to the first lie, the totalitarians can assault [them] with another.


Modern technology teaches man to take for granted the world he is looking at; he takes no time to retreat and reflect. Technology lures him on, dropping him into its wheels and movements. No rest, no meditation, no reflection, no conversation – the senses are continually overloaded with stimuli. [Man] doesn’t learn to question his world anymore; the screen offers him answers – ready – made. - Joost Meerloo

Elon Musk believes the world is not real, but we all are just part of a simulation running on somebody's computer.


If so, the software is very buggy, I would say. No QA, eh?

I strongly recommend that everyone take a look at this:

It's pretty eye-opening, if anecdotal. Breuer makes perfect sense.
