Is someone still a little sore that someone else isn't reading Chomsky's
"Deterring Democracy"? ;-)
hey, how about "Manufacturing Consent", have you read that one? That one I
really like for what it says, indirectly, about free will, which happens to
be what we were talking about. And the more we promote this idea of "free
will" the more we play into the hands of the manufacturers of consent. The
only way to protect ourselves, and other people, from brainwashing and
manufactured consent, is to recognize that there is no such thing as free
will, that people's wills, and their consent, are not sovereign, they are
fully under the control of the influences surrounding them, ie, Morality.
So not only must we be conscious of our place in morality, we should be
aware of how we impact morality as it will affect other people. We can't
live as islands or think that other people live as islands.
Johnny
