“Our electrically-configured world has forced us to move from the habit of data classification to the mode of pattern recognition.

The products indoctrinate and manipulate; they promote a false consciousness which is immune against its falsehood...Thus emerges a pattern of one-dimensional thought and behavior.” MeanWholeCertainSocialConsciousnessAttitudeInformationEmotionalProductsCommunicationIndustryHabitBehaviorIntellectualPatternsEntertainmentReactionsProducersConsumersLatterFalsehoodManipulateIrresistibleImmuneOutputSocial SystemsMeans Of CommunicationEmotional Reactions Author:Herbert Marcuse
