RE: Fiction and Common Sense
Thanks for reading glad you liked!
Causes me to reflect on how a non-naive, reality-based view of fiction must consider the ways mass media and other information control agents amplify, squelch or co-opt certain themes, authors and projects for purposes of very strategic cultural steering and predictive programming.
Definitely, propaganda is the strongest tool the controllers got. I think the best authors and thinkers are aware of such programming and try their best to either ignore it or transcend it. The crypto sphere is a relevant example where the originators took a non-naive, reality-based view of fiction.
Also the difference between objective, real events in the past and the various narratives presented as "history" which are often nothing more than agenda-driven fictions.
I agree, thats why it's essential to not place too much importance on certain events or scenarios that we are told about in "history", and look at general trends.
