Although I don't think we live inside a vast computer (i.e. I don't think we're living in The Matrix) but I do think that about 90% of what we think is true just isn't true.

Elections? They don't matter.
Professional sports? More like pro wrestling then we want to admit.
Capitalism? Oh ... you mean Socialism.
The News Business? They used to call it "advertising".
The Entertainment Business? They used to call it "propaganda".
History? Some of it's true ( I do believe Hitler killed 6 million Jews) but a fair amount of history is just story-telling.

The Internet? It's a tool of control by tyrants who manipulate the world.

Internet, tool of control by tyrants. Kinda puts porn in a whole new light. And also increases my respect for FR and it’s no ads stance.

I’ve always said that if the government announced they had created a website where you could do all your banking, post your private information, tell the world who your friends are and what you’re going to do plus state your political beliefs......very few would have signed up.

And don’t believe any of us are anonymous. The ip server address tells them who we are.

Someone once close to me announced on the internet for all to see that “this stupid POS thinks the government is using facebook to spy on us”. So, who’s the stupid POS now?

As for elections, I told my wife the other day that even if no one showed up to vote the media would report the election results showing how many voted, what their motivating factor for voting was, exit polls, etc. It would be simply be made up.

Hitler's National SOCIALIST regime killed a lot more people than just the 6 million Jews. But such is the power of propaganda (and I'm not entirely sure whose) that 5.5 million people killed in death camps are largely forgotten. And even 11.4 million killed doesn't tell the whole story. Power Kills
