But I believe that if the desire for true happiness, for true knowledge were to fully awaken among people in society – what the Enlightenment called with Kant's words: Sapere aude! Dare to know! – and not to consume canned wisdom that someone else has cooked and served, and then even experienced oneself as if I had thought such a thing...
I believe that tremendous change could be achieved.
People are not that stupid at all. But it is dangerous not to be stupid. Because if you are not stupid, you contradict, criticize, express unpopular opinions. And for safety reasons, it is better to appear stupid."
Erich Fromm
Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"The shackles of mental control, perceptual filtering and cultural conditioning are harder to throw off today than ever before.
We are the most conditioned, programmed beings the world has ever seen. Not only are our thoughts and attitudes continually being shaped and molded; our entire consciousness seems to be subtly and relentlessly erased. The doors of our perception are carefully and precisely controlled.
It is an exhaustive and endless task to constantly explain to people how most things of their everyday wisdom are scientifically planted in the public consciousness via a thousand media clips."
Dr. Tim O’Shea
Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"Activating collective consciousness is probably one of the most difficult tasks to attempt because people are largely unaware of the extent to which their thinking is governed by tacit rules and predetermined as given, assumed notions that, because they appear as self-evident truth, render ideology invisible. Truly unrestricted intellectual debate feels threatening because it strives to break out of this cognitive cage. Worse, this cage is so insidious that it influences even those who are already outside the mainstream.
People are rarely, if ever, persuaded by argument. Those who adopt dissenting opinions do so ,because they were already naturally predisposed to do so and events have brought about a process by which they have become more true to themselves."

I now realize that's not a good excuse. The average beer drinker who is addicted to “Love Island” and other reality shows had enough time to do their research and realize who controls our world and how they do it, but they chose not to. Ignorance is a choice, and that choice is costing us our rights and freedom. The average person doesn't want to know the truth; there is no thirst for knowledge, no inner desire to regain our freedom or protect our children's rights. As long as people have enough bread, entertainment, and beer to drink away their worries and celebrate “their” victories, they are quite content to be ruled. In fact, they enjoy it because it relieves them of their personal responsibilities. So it's a good thing that the future of society lies in the hands of an angry and tireless minority, not a sleeping majority. You can call them “conspiracy theorists.” I call them freedom activists, servants of truth. It doesn't take a majority to win, just an angry and tireless minority willing to light the fires of freedom in the minds of the people."

Society is at the tipping point of the height of illussion. It takes serious courage to be real right now. Please be brave!"
