A short clip, titled Orwell Comes to America, on reasoning and perception. One HN user links it repeatedly as the science showing human minds are bad at reasoning and do not see reality as it is.
Almost entirely one commenter's repeated citation as evidence on unconscious thinking and flawed reasoning.

First realize what is going on and why, watch the science video, then manufacturing consent then the rest. The elites fear political awakening, thats why all this is happening. First, our brains are much worse at reality and thinking than thought. Science on reasoning: ▶ this video The (mass surveillance) by the NSA and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests. They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken. See this vid with Zbigniew Brzezinski, former United States National Security Advisor. link Brezinski at a press conference link The real news: link link link link Protectionism for the rich and big business by state intervention, radical market interference. link Wikileaks link Manufacturing consent: link link The Citibank memo link link link US distribution of wealth link link The Centre for Investigative Journalism link Some history on US imperialism by us corporations. link From war is a racket: "I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil intersts in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown B
"Empires are not monolithic." First see the science on reasoning, your brain is not the reasoning god you think it is: ▶ this video Which is meaningless, what is the evidence of the US imposing laws on countries that are not of the US? AKA are corporations getting their way? If we go by evidence, there is no democracy and their power is quite monolithic. Consider that these laws have been growing in power for 200 years almost, so don't buy the 'the creators are hurting and the evil pirates are stealing' argument, the public domain is completely destroyed (aka freedom to own, modify, repair software, own and update video games, etc). AKA ownership is being taken away completely from you in a one sided deal where they have total control. link Crisis of democracy link
"It's not that hard to grasp. We live it everyday. It is, the human mind doesn't see reality as it is, see the science: ▶ this video
I wonder how much self deception exists in western society when the evidence suggests you live in a lawless oligarchy, one example from endless copyright extension. link But first HN, you can be told the facts and the figures and you won't reason to the right conclusion see the science: ▶ this video Does the upper class and the business community believe in Free markets? link IMF subsidies for the rich and their corporations link subsidies So looking at all that free cash from the state, did the upper class really "earn" all that cash or could it be they own the government and can just rubber stamp whatever they like because the average HN poster and person on our planet is illiterate and well indoctrinated?
>This is my biggest pet peeve with news in general. Why does a high school paper have more rigor in terms of citations than the average post from a major news organization? Because news is not meant to inform, it's meant to indoctrinate and keep you passively under the thumb of the rich. link >It makes digesting political news all but impossible. The question is do you know the upper classes know your brain doesn't see the world as it is, you can be told the facts and not reason to the right conclusion? ▶ this video
>I can't be bothered to even unpack some of this loony RMS-level cutesyness, like that WoW is "stolen from the public" because it's a server-client game. I can tell you the facts and you won't reason to the right conclusion, see the science: ▶ this video You don't seem to get, that before world of warcraft, UO and everquest, we were getting PC RPG's with single player and multiplayer inside the same game. To think that wow and eq are "different" or "special" and require "corporate ownership" means you are gullible and stupid beyond all comprehension, you can't put two and two together on how your market signal effects the entire videogame market in a networked world. Neverwinter Nights 2002 on gog is a "persistant world oyu controlled" that has the dedicated server functions included inside the game and you own and control it. World of warcraft was a tax on the stupid. You don't seem to get what your market signal told every company on the planet, as soon as you buy ANY piece of software that is client server in a world that has internet, ANY game is now going to be forced to be made that way, that's why we lost Diablo 3, Fans of diablo 3 wanted diablo 3 with level editors, modding, etc. Fans of Quake 3, unreal, wanted modding nad dedicated servers to continue.... oh shit we got quake champions a totally locked down game with no level editor and basic functions like skins and colors locked behind paywalls. You don't get that the plan for the corporate world was to make every piece
> I see year after year, decade after decade that they keep being discussed, with the same points being made over and over again. Is there a name for these? Because human beings don't see reality accurately, see the science: ▶ this video
MMO's were a scam, they were just rebranded PC RPG's, you don't seem to get you are the gullible one here. If you buy ANY piece of software in an internet enabled world that you don't own or ontrol, you have just broadcast to the entire corporate world that you are gullible. They will try to client-server EVERY game and EVERY piece of software, what the hell do you think mobile is? Steam is by definition an irrational piece of corporate malware that shouldn't exist, up until 2004 we were getting complete local applications, or honestly coded PC games. That is why as you go backwards in time before internet penetration reached the computer illiterate, we had level editors, server exe's and dedicated servers embedded inside the main game exe. Descent 3 came with server executable. MMO's are just RPG's where the server exe isn't given to you. You can see this "MMO" racing game you can play completely "offline" proving that mmo's were a scam. Need for speed world was just a fork of most wanted and rewritten to be client server, AKA a scam. Think of this, you can run Need for speed world entirely from your PC without monthly fee or micro-transactions, then that means that paying a monthly fee for software you don't own is irrational. link Anytime you see a login screen on a piece of game or other software you're seeing stolen software buddy. You don't get they've already won, the battle was won between 1997 and 2004. Ultima online and everquest were trial balloons to undermine s
Because the mind doesn't see the world as it is, you see things in that paper that their minds simply can't grasp. The enlightenment view of reason is not correct... Check out the science: ▶ this video
>working as intended then ? Yes... the whole of education is to make society ignorant of reality. See here: link Then below... Our brains are much worse at reality and thinking than thought. Science on reasoning: ▶ this video Protectionism for the rich and big business by state intervention, radical market interference. link Manufacturing consent: link link "Intended as an internal document. Good reading to understand the nature of rich democracies and the fact that the common people are not allowed to play a role." Crisis of democracy link Education as ignorance link Testing theories of representative government link
You don't understand what is happening, the elites are at war with all citizens of their respective states because they fear the free flow of information through their society. That is why are collecting everything. Go view the privacy video and skip to 1:02:30 and watch. So hear it from national security advisor of the united states. If you are the non fraction of the 1% you are the enemy, aka spying is aimed at politically controlling your perception because they know your brain doesn't see the world as it is. See the science: ▶ this video Every citizen called a "global menace" here by Zbig: link Protectionism for the rich and big business by state intervention, radical market interference. link Government does not work for you link Book: link Privacy video link
Your post is so full of inaccuracies. The rich have always preached free market to the masses while taking state subsidies for themselves. The human mind does not see reality as it is, see the science: ▶ this video Energy subsidies link Interference in other states when the rich/corporations dont get their way link Protectionism for the rich and big business by state intervention, radical market interference. Testing theories of representative government link link From war is a racket: "I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."[p. 10] "War is a racket. ...It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." [p. 23] "The general public shoulders the bill [for war]. This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations." [p. 24] General
