Separation Perfected

What's good world, we're back with some more of that gangsta ass hood philosophy, and on this episode of the podcast, we're tracing the modern roots of persuasion in academia, and examining how it was transmogrified from an altruistic practice aimed at transforming democracy by creating an active and involved proletariat, into a trillion-dollar industry ready to sell us everything from a lifestyle, a new war, and everything in between. 

It's a deceptive world out there fam, and we'd be silly to think there aren't hidden forces at play exercising unwarranted power in hopes of getting us to further their agendas.

Like the grandfather of modern advertising Edward Bernays reminds us, 'the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society', and that 'those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country...' 

So when Nike is out here sub-contracting Uyghur slave labor through the Chinese Communist Party, while simultaneously promoting the ideas of equality advanced by Back Lives Matter, it's time we ask ourselves just how deeply we are truly being governed, how carefully our minds are being molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.

Stay woke fam...
