“When I referred to mass hypnosis and education, this brainwashing is the foundation. The impressionable and pliable subconscious is oftentimes a receptacle of ideas, reactions, memories, feelings and perceptions. Call it cultural conditioning and following orders or the people next door, or those people on the reality show. People vote for reality show celebrities. The emperor is wearing no clothes.

“A major issue with modern society and its mainstream culture is that it propagates a distorted idea of what it means to be human and what brings us true happiness. Through mass media, entertainment, advertising, and other cultural elements, we have been indoctrinated to believe that the sole purpose of life is to chase amusement and endless distractions. We have been sold the notion that satisfying our most basic instincts is an admirable goal. That unbridled promiscuity and unrestrained sexuality lead to fulfillment and that accumulating material possessions and wealth guarantees both success and happiness.”
