Is Media Less Psychological In Nature Than The Early 90's?

Im thinking about the batman movies.

Batman Forever, is all about sending and stealing brain waves. Just an analogy. Novels seem less important these days than the technology that presents them.
 
Nope. IMO. The Media is even MORE about programming people. We now have the technology to map exactly how to keep the sheeple asleep and how to program the man in the street to believe anything he sees onscreen. The difference is, again IMO, that the people are now more asleep than ever before so the obviousness of what they are doing is more in our face - they think they can now do ANYTHING and if our TV tells us it is OK we will not even notice.
 
In fact, people are more awake in all ways than ever. The level of education is very high and the mental power is returning to the people. Those pulling the strings are well aware of this and if it seems more in your face it's because they're just teasing and playing with us.
 
I think SOME people are more awake, and I'd debate the 'very high' part of Education simply because I see Education as the programming of the population rather than the opening of minds.

Teasing and playing has more of an upbeat implication than I would choose. Flaunting and contemptuous is more the line of how I see what the MSM and power-mongers are doing. It's like they aren't even trying to pretend any more.
 
regardless of higher education being a form of programming to conform to a larger structure yes, don't you think exposure to more experiences and points of view makes you wiser?

Not necessarily.
IMO
People are so fixated on self these days they cant tell the real truth from a hole in the wall.
 
Until people realize, how culturally conditioned or psychologically programmed we are, sleeping will be the norm and popular mileu of the masses.
It's also easier to be asleep. Still partially asleep myself, but I'm aware of this and why… and continue to wake up.
I have not had a TV since I was a child and don't want one, not to say I don't use the internet.
People are fixated on themselves indeed. And who drilled this fixation into the people? We do, lol.

Ever see Century of the Self? Adam Curtis. Just one example of psychological conditioning via advertising to the instinctual primate levels.
 
I don't think the brainwashing quality of media has changed that much, we just live in a time of extremes. We have so much information and networking available to us, we can use it to become more stupid than ever, or use it to really elevate. I believe this time in human history has great potential for either. If you take things to a spiritual bent there is way more that can be accessed.

Even if only 0.005% of humanity is on a moderately enlightening spiritual path, then that still makes this the most enlightened time in the past couple thousand years. The more people who rise up the more we collectively rise up.

Is it valuable if those experiences and PoV's are all 'tailored' to a specific purpose? If, as I think seems more and more likely as I learn more, the entirety of what we call history, biology, psychology AND physics comes closer to fairytale than fact, of what value is becoming expert in a fairytale?

Surely knowing a little about a small amount of truth is far more valuable than knowing all of a lie?
 
Good point about fairy tales… So much at least from what I've noticed as mere myth has been listed as historical fact, when it's just a story. Is there a difference? Where is the line drawn? This is probably obvious actually, but just got me thinking…

A glimpse into the truth is a better life lived verses lies..

no. And its not like The Church didn't tell people what to do and think hundreds of years ago either.

People are sheeple.

At the same time, taking the view that "most people are sheeple" is also a sycopanthic and unworthy attitude. People are sheeple in different ways. Some are vegetarians, some mindlessly thrive on the killing and torture of animals.
 
I personally LOVE vegetarians - they taste great with spuds. :D

@Smoky - I agree, but you'd be surprised how many people not only prefer the lies, they get angry at any attempt to shift their views. There's an old saying, "you cannot be reasoned out of a position you weren't reasoned into" that applies here. To shake a belief the inside has to change; only then does a person find a new path.
 
Yes, good point.. and reasoning in itself has a motive to convince the other person or party to conform to the reasoner's beliefs. Why else would there be a need to reason in the first place?
For the walls to come down and views to shift one indeed must have inner change…. I agree. It's the 'want' backed by fear to change others or their beliefs in itself is a lack of self understanding, or awareness.
The door is there, but is closed in the mind. The description or reasoning of the door is not the actual door, and when one gets stuck emotionally to idea of the door one cannot move through it.. and stays in the hallway of denial, close mind, rigid beliefs.. same path
 
"We are the ones you speak of so pour your hearts out on the floor - You don't know how to handle it but you know you'll be back for more".

One of the Christmas jingles for this year, not that it suprised me.

sheeple = morons who just want to be lead, and forgo the responsibility of thought.
