"Society sees nothing because it is kept in a state of deep hypnosis. Never before have people been manipulated as much as they are now. A person is given no chance to pause and understand what is happening. Endless series, each dumber than the last, vulgar pop music, lustful or aggressive films that gently influence the subconscious, foster a spirit of selfishness and violence. An ordinary person quickly becomes a principle-less animal living an absolutely meaningless life." Sergei Petrowitsch Kapiza

"We try to evade the question of existence with property, prestige, power, possession, production, fun, and, ultimately, by trying to forget that we- that I- exist. No matter how much he thinks of God or goes to church, or how much he believes in religious ideas , if he, the whole man, is deaf to the question of existence, if he does not have an answer to it, he is marking time, and he lives and dies like one of the million things he produces. He thinks of God, instead of experiencing God." Erich Fromm

"Not to know one's true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing — a golem. And, indeed, this image, sick-eningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and cryp-tofascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness. Sedated by the prescripted daily television fix, they are a living dead, lost to all but the act of consuming." Terence McKenna
