consequence, if you so choose, you can likewise empower others with the opportunity to catalyze their

own learning potential… it’s truly the gift th

at keeps on giving, until someone decided to keep it a secret, and assume power to control the rest of our lives without our consent. Without access to the occulted information, and the intellectual tool-kit to allow you to take actions with certainty; it is a rigged game ensuring consistency, satisfaction, and order for those who occult

information… and uncertainty, fear, confusion, and chaos for those without access to the information and

the tools of learning. As a result, without learning to outgrow our current sit uation, many of us react em otionally and cannot out-think our reactions, devolving our state of response-

ability to that of fight or flight… powered by adrenaline…

emotions are not a valid method of attaining knowledge, and we tend to panic, instead of responding to the unknown with observation, logical thought, and informed action to make it known. This is the essence of how we as human beings are being controlled by other human beings using words. Who is doing this to us? The short answer: Polymaths who possess rationality without emotion.

Throughout history many groups have espoused this obsession to control the lives of others, whether it’s

the Atenists, or the eugenicists, or the ego-worshippers; they all support controlling you vis a vis the censorship and manipulation of information, better known as the concept of the Scientific Dictatorship. Some examples illustrating the idea of the scientific dictatorship would be the following members of the 20

th

century intelligentsia: 1. Edward Bernays: "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. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.

This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...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."

Edward Bernays (Propaganda, 1928) 2. Walter Lippmann:

―We have learned to call this propaganda.

A group of men, who can prevent

independent access to the event, can arrange the news to suit their purpose… …In order to

conduct a propaganda campaign; there must be some barrier between the public and the event.

Access to the real environment must be limited, before anyone can create a pseudo -environment

he thinks wise or desirable.‖ Walter Lippmann (Public Opinion, 1922)

4. Bertrand Russell: "

Education should aim at destroying free will

, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished." (Page 50 - The Intended Result of E ducation) 5. Norbert Wiener: Author of Cybernetics, which focuses on equations to control human behavior, and illustrates how to corrupt our natural communication and feedback

–

or learning- processes, whereby game theory is u

sed to control the masses. ―As I have already hinted, one of the

directions of work which the realm of ideas of the Macy meetings has suggested concerns the importance of the notion and the technique of communication in the social system. It is certainly true that the social system is an organization like the individual, that it is bound together by a system of communication,

and that it has a dynamics in which circular processes of a feedback nature play an important part
