Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society," "Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
And, yah, it's there for a reason. As you continue to be locked down, consider taking the time to read the book by Edward Bernays, It is freely available. Consider the fact that nothing is ever really hidden from us. Obscured, sure. But the real problem is is we refuse to see. What we don't want to see, willfully or otherwise, is what causes us our greatest harm.
