Reading Desmet's book also wakes one up to the fact that the government and financial elites have been running circles around the public for generations. These people will make full use of the psychological principles Desmet outlines to maintain their hegemony. It's become clear that they have also set up or financed the "opposition" movements in many cases. And now we're seeing how the climate change movement was also gamed by The System. That one had even the smartest of us fooled for a long, long time.
Thanks. I enjoyed your take on the book and the background to the many ideas.
Those that “see” are presented with a ground swell of new possibilities from the many exploring and posting what this all possibly means for our present and future.
It has been a great time of unlearning for me. As they say - one has to kill off the you that others instilled to become the you one is meant to be.
