mind control + media + capital = commercialism

children these days base ther lives on the media they grow up watching sesame street and mr rodgers and end up sitting in front of computers in cubicles. but the thing that never changes is the impact the media made in those few developmental years.

kids used to learn math and the alphabet and social interaction from school and parents causeing different styles and views in different areas, but now millions of children all learn the same thing from the same sources, for example i dont remember much of how i interacted with my parents and other people when i was young but i still remember the sesame street theme song, my dad listening to frank zappa, the fred the baker dunkin doughnuts commercials, and all kinds of little commercial jingles,this isnt necisarily bad but it shows what impact media has on peoples minds.
it can make inflation and deflation using a few words or "scandals", or make one person seem like a god. and destroy that person the next day.
it is self propelled mind control.
imagen if you could control all this media if the things you could acomplish. a technological coup de tate. you could control everything and you could change the way people think. if you can get a grasp on somones ming when theyn are young it is hard for them to ever break away.
that may be a sick fact and a devastating power but it is truth. but also an opinion you dont have to agree with me but i just thought id share the concept... peace!

sesame street and mr rodgers

Sesame street comes on PBS, so does mr rodgers, and they dont really have commercials.

How is that a bad thing?

I have a point to bring up that is closely related to the issue you have brought up. Elemetary school text books. I hate their limited expression of the values and realities of the world. Everything in every social text book i read as a child sickened me. I felt the lies pouring from them were corrupting my impressionable mind. For example the book on japan does not express japan. All it expresses is a simplified westernized vision of sugar "safe" coated world to warp our litte elementary minds.

Yeah, but every country is fucked up in some way, right?

Would you really want a 4th grader to know about Japan's openess to sex (Example: On Japanese busses, you will see grown men looking at comic book porn, without trying to hide it).

As children get older, they will discover ways to learn outside of school. It is up to them to get that knowledge.

I want my kids to see pictures of the holocaust and other sick images that shouldnt be seen until a reasonable age. So that they can be scared 24/7 and be screwed up in the head for the rest of their lives.
