Of course, when "weaponized" psychological manipulation is at play... #NeilPostmanWasRight you run into Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death"... and #cults #FWakeCults

#NeilPostman 1985: #FWakeNeilPostman

“What Huxley teaches is that in the age of advanced technology, spiritual devastation is more likely to come from an enemy with a smiling face than from one whose countenance exudes suspicion and hate. In the Huxleyan prophecy, Big Brother does not watch us, by his choice. We watch him, by ours. There is no need for wardens or gates or Ministries of Truth. When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; a culture-death is a clear possibility.”
― Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse in the Age of Show Business, 1985

"Fragmented reality" where people see only trees and not the total forest or competing simulacras / competing understandings.

It is a very very messy problem, intentional (weaponized) or otherwise. #ItIsBigMessyWorld #FWakeBigComplexWorld #WorldAfterAll #FWakeWorldAfterAll #ComplexWorldAfterAll
