The Rebellion

We should form our own opinions from facts and take responsibility for our own actions. Action without thought makes our world so dangerous. Our leaders, marketers, managers and politicians, are uncultivated minds, all acting without thought.

Aldous Huxley stated that the world suffers from 3 evils :

ORGANISED LYING.

NON-STOP DISTRACTION.

NATIONALISTIC IDOLATRY (which has taken the place of religion).

The greatest of these evils is Non-Stop Distraction.
These three evils can be summed up in one word: PROPAGANDA

These evils are the ingredients of a free pill which we swallow daily: NINSDOL

ORGANIZED LYING

Everyone accepts organized lying.  In general, we don't think; we have little concept of a world outside our perception of uniform opinion and perverse blinkered vision.  We all follow others; our little experts.

NON-STOP DISTRACTION

We are constantly bombarded with information, this diverts us from thinking, so our brain will absorb anything that we are exposed to.  We are consumers, passively absorbing information.

The opposite of this is delight in being alone and the discipline of following a deep interest.  It takes you away from consumerism and grants control.

NATIONALISTIC IDOLATRY (Nationalism)

A nation doesn’t differentiate between boundaries, language or race. The UN defines a nation as “a society possessing the means of making war.” Conflict is natural; however war pushes this past the line. We have a natural attachment to our place of origin and familiar people. Nationalism uses propaganda to create a loyalty to areas with which the individual is unacquainted. Nationalism is basically a war mentality, it has taken the place of religion.
