this forces us to ask a few questions though.
If humans are really as easy to manipulate as they seem to be. Then how much free will do we really have?
Ethical and political paradigms based around the concept of freedom are perhaps obsolete.
The masses are hopelessly brainwashed. You see evidence of this everyday...on this very forum, for example. Giving them 'freedom' is about as kind as pushing then out of an airplane, expecting they can fly. They can't.
Here is an example. A deli owner bakes muffins and pies. A passerby has resolved he is on a diet.
the deli owner wafts smells of his pastries toward passers by to tempt them. That smell of fresh baked pie can totally subvert the higher thinking processes that led to making a decision about eating healthy. This is violence against us all, for profits.
the ultimate brainwashing is that we have learned to just accept this violence, but I tell you who does NOT accept this kind of ****.. purist Muslims
