That naivety regarding radioactivity reminds of our today's mass consumption of free as well as prescribed medical drugs, or our ways to bring our neutransmitter-balances into disorder by damaging them by changed social behavior, and excessive computer-interaction affecting the latter as well. we know for example that certain neurotransmitter-substances in the brain get produced in certain mutually related ammounts when we interact socially with people, say the salesman in the shop, or the teacher and pupils in class. If these events get deleted by robo-shopping in automatted shops (they make us believe it to be "event shopping"), or home-schooling via internet and computer only, then this affects our biological homeostasis of such neuratransmitters. And that could lead to psychological suffering like depression, changed and degraded personalities, and who knows what psychological diseases at higher age. We just have become aware of the tremendous importance of a healthy neutransmitter balance, and the far-reaching long-time-consequences of damages in there. Seen that way, we still use radioactive face-powder, so to speak. And still we think it makes us younger.

Technical and scientific progress is not bad in itself. just when we lack the knowledge and insight to make responsible use of it, and therefore abuse it uncritcially and excessively - then it becomes a danger indeed. But in this modern world you often get called a "progressophobic" or a fool wanting to move back into the stoneage, when you say that, or indicate that you refuse to follow that path uncritically and undiscriminatory. Totally uncritical believe in technology and a technological future where all options are good and fine - this is what the industrialised modern system wants us to be, so that we shall be uncritial consumers, matching the stereotype of the most ideal consumer who does not ask questions but just buys, buys, buys, and where products no longer get designed to match the needs of the consumer that replaced the citizen in importance, but where "educated" (=trained) consumers have been drilled to fulfill the needs of products, production and procedures.

Modern citizenship means: being an uncritical consumer. That is your primary function you have been reduced to: to consume and to buy. If you don't believe that, imagine one moment what would happen if all of a sudden peopole would refuse to be like that. Everything would collapse and break down immediately.

Less a diatribe by intention, more an unconvenient truth. Nobody wants to hear it, because everybody prefers to think of himself as a clever, self-determined individual that decides on the basis of facts, reason and logic.

But advertising-psychology as well as politics are about controlling the behaviour of crowds, both are sciences of manipulation. Crowds and intelligence are in inverse proportion to each other.
