Nick Meador on Reality Sandwich
Doublethink and the Mental Construction of RealityThe concept of truth-seeking has long been a cornerstone of individualism. But in order to be effective as individuals, we have to make sure that our perception of reality actually contains a significant amount of what we call "truth." So how can we ever be certain that we possess the actual truth? Is human objectivity even possible in reality?
The Not-So-Comfortable Concentration CampPropaganda tactics developed during World War I are now the foundation for our entire addiction-based consumer system. The dehumanizing force we now call "public relations" has been targeting demographic groups since the 1920s, starting with the American housewife.
The Agent of ApathyOver the last decade the cultural figure known as the “hipster” has increasingly turned into a target of scorn, despite an apparent disagreement over what the term means and to whom it refers. This semi-mythological character reveals our own compliance with barbaric totalitarianism, a fault we’ve been projecting onto others.
