Are We There Yet?

.

message for all good little citizens:

Writers of TV shows, films, books, stories, ads, etc. take advantage of people’s emotional “baggage” by assembling the cues and prompts that stir up those emotions into a manipulative system of psychological control. When you participate in these pseudo-social events, you allow yourself to be jerked around by your emotions. This is not what these for the most part archaic mechanisms were evolved to do; they are survival mechanisms better replaced with more highly evolved rational thought, except that most of us (maybe all of us, at least at times) are not very capable in this realm of existence yet. I blame that persistent condition on the conservatives who thwart the advance of civilization by restricting education and therapy to the smallest group possible, thereby better insuring their greater degree of wealth and power. If you are not properly educated, you are not enabled to compete as effectively in a token society, let alone avoid the manipulative agendas that control you and morph you into good little compliant unknown citizens or radically disenfranchised non-entities.
