It Is The Emergence Of Mass Media

The Machine Is A Tool. But It Is Not A Neutral Tool. We Are Deeply Influenced By The Machine While Using It.

The Most Favorable Moment To Seize A Man And Influence Him Is When He Is Alone In The Mass. It Is At This Point That Propaganda Can Be Most Effective.

If The Ruler Wants To Play The Game By Himself And Follow Secret Policies, He Must Present A Decoy To The Masses.

If Man--if Each One Of Us--abdicates His Responsibilities With Regard To Values; If Each One Of Us Limits Himself To Leading A Trivial Existence In A Technological Civilization, With Greater Adaptation And Increasing Success As His Sole Objectives; If We Do Not Even Consider The Possibility Of Making A Stand Against These Determinants, Then Everything Will Happen As I Have Described It, And The Determinates Will Be Transformed Into Inevitabilities.
