«No rest, no meditation, no reflection, no conversation — the senses are continually overloaded with stimuli. Man doesn’t learn to question his world anymore; the screen offers him answers already made.»
Joost Meerloo
Totalitarianism comes in many forms, and its effects on creativity and actual progress are devastating. The video «MASS PSYCHOSIS – How an Entire Population Becomes MENTALLY ILL» by After Skool looks at our current society and how people lose their minds and descend into the apparent safety of totalitarianism. Very well done and interesting — especially regarding the steps that can be taken against encroaching totalitarianism (e.g., truth, ridicule, parallel structures/societies).
Highly recommended.
