“One of the real dilemmas we have in our country and around the world is that what works in politics is organization and conflict. That is, drawing the sharp distinctions. But in real life, what works is networks and cooperation. And we need victories in real life, so we've got to get back to networks and cooperation, not just conflict. But politics has always been about conflict, and in the coverage of politics, information dissemination tends to be organized around conflict as well.” WorldNeedsWellsRealCountryInformationVictoryConflictOrganizationDrawingReal LifeOur CountryAround The WorldOrganizedDistinctionGet BackCooperationDilemmaCoverageDissemination Author:William J.

“The good news is you can get a lot of information off the Internet for free and in a hurry. But I think the breaking up of the media, which is otherwise kind of healthy, has contributed to less actual reporting and a louder, more contentious, more divisive public discourse, highlighting conflict, sometimes falsely.” ThinkingKindSometimesMediaInformationInternetHealthyConflictNewsDiscourseGood NewsPublic DiscourseContentiousHighlighting Author:William J.

“The most effective way to close down the human mind and to manipulate its sense of self is to program into it some form of dogma. A dogma will always vehemently defend itself from other information and repel any alternative opinion which contradicts its narrow, solidified view. Dogmas become a person's sense of security and means of retaining power, and humanity tends to cling to both until its knuckles turn white. Dogmas take endless forms, and when you can persuade different people to hold opposing dogmas, the manipulation of conflict and control through "divide and rule" becomes easy.” PeopleWayMindHumansMeanPersonsDifferentSelfFormHumanityTurnsEasyWhiteViewsOpinionSecurityInformationConflictProgramEndlessAlternativesManipulationHuman MindDividesDogmaManipulateDifferent PeoplesOpposingSense Of SelfKnucklesRetaining Author:David Icke

“Many more children observe attitudes, values and ways different from or in conflict with those of their families, social networks,and institutions. Yet today's young people are no more mature or capable of handling the increased conflicting and often stimulating information they receive than were young people of the past, who received the information and had more adult control of and advice about the information they did receive.” PeopleWayChildrenDifferentTodayPastYoungValuesSocialAttitudeAdviceInformationConflictCapableAdultsInstitutionsMatureSocial Network Book:School Power: Implications of an Intervention Project Source: School Power: Implications of an Intervention Project
“There's a lot of people that I disagree with that I think I could have interesting conversations with. What I don't want to get into is manufactured conflict. I would much rather talk to someone like Dr. Rhonda Patrick or Randall Carlson and be mesmerized by information. I guess in a way that's selfish, or maybe not objective of me. The older (and hopefully wiser) I get the less interested I am in conflict. I don't mind disagreeing with people in a civil way, but I definitely don't want to go out of my way to have an argument unless it's a really important subject.” PeopleThinkingWayWantMindImportantInterestingSubjectsInformationConversationConflictArgumentSelfishObjectivesHopefullyMy WayDisagreeWiserDrsMesmerizedInteresting ConversationCarlson Author:Joe Rogan
