from my point of view believe-ing one self to be wiser than previous generations is just about the biggest mistake any-one could actually make..

and IMO it is hard not to intepret this as something that has come about as a result of the the propoganda we have all been drowned in for the last few decades...

that is unless you consider advertising as exempt from the list of propoganda tools..

if one believes one is too wise to fall for the proganda methods that were used in the past...it is a sure sign that one has missed the point of the propoganda....

yes we can check the internet for many differing sources of informations...but if after checking and considering and thinking about the issues we then don't actually DO anything in response...then the propoganda has done it's job with absolute ruthless effeciency...

the pay off being the hype surrounding one's increased media savvy and intelligence regarding our resistance to propoganda..

so yes....absolutely.....that to me is the current propoganda message..it is the underlying sedative effect on the population that comes with a propoganda message that tells the people they are too clever to fall for propoganda messages...excellent stuff...

in some ways too much information is as bad as too little..
as we can now find just about any point of view on any subject what so ever..there are very few sources that one can be trusted implicitly.(if any)...so in the end we are left with those sources that we feel to be accurate....and the whole thing slips into relative percentages and one source being likely to be more reliable than another..with no known way to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt..

mean-while whilst we are doing this the machine of current events (what ever they happen to be at the time) grinds ever on regardless...frequently by the time we have made up our minds the situations has progressed to the point where by it is far too late to react pro-actively any way..(in any meaningfull way) and so on...

any group of people whom believe them selves to be wiser than their grandparents....will have to learn by making the same mistakes as their grandparents..
quite what all this means at the end of the day is niether here nor there...the machine is now so large that it is in the process of tipping the earth off it's axis..and all one can do is buy a hard hat and hope...which shows that i am not too wise to have fallen for the propoganda message my self!!
AFAIK

oh gosh darn it..
