"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society." - Edward Bernays (Propaganda)
"Man is a machine. All his deeds, actions, words, thoughts, feelings, convictions, opinions, and habits are the result of external influences." - Gurdjieff
Do we think we have our own thoughts. Are our opinions truly ours? Every day invisible forces are shaping what we desire, what we fear, and what we believe. Advertising, politics, media, culture, algorithms are constantly implanting ideas of success, happiness, beauty... Do we examine these assumptions; or passively absorb them?
