Question for all those philosophical people!!?

Question

To what extent does U.S. society in 2006 exhibit characteristics similar to those found in Brave New World, 1984, and the MatriX?

Answer 1

The majority of people in the USA today moves blindly through their lives, completely unaware of being manipulated by marketing campaigns, propaganda from the government and hidden agendas regarding health care, food products and other issues that affect us all everyday.

Unless an individual works for an insurance company or some other organization that is privy to the truth about why we have no cures for certain diseases or how close we come to world annihilation, most of us live in ignorant bliss.

The propaganda machines in this nation are so good at their jobs that they completely discredit and dismiss anyone who pulls back the curtain to say "There's no wizard here. Just an old guy working the controls." They quickly gloss over critical pieces of information that become exposed to the public and make the general population think the whistle-blower is some nut job with nothing to say.

The "conspiracy theory" people would not be tracking the scent of a cover up this long if their wasn't fresh stink on the trail.

I mean, right at this moment, the US government has a sweep going on all these websites and key words trigger a closer look by "Homeland Security".

Answer 2

From a corporate standpoint that's an easy one. People used to work for a company for 20-30 years and were skilled at what they do...in feudal days they skilled "warriors" were known as Samurai in that they were loyal to their "emperor" or boss. Now-a-days most people are "ronin"...skilled people with no loyalty to anyone. Skill against skill on...and no allegiance to a company. : )

Hope this helps
