We Are Being Programmed (Part 1)
from Mic Check Radio · host Occupy the Media Collective
We are all affected by it...call it advertising, propaganda, programming, social engineering, psychological operations, or whatever other term could be applied. The act of a force outside of your mind trying to convince you to do something. In the kick-off episode of this series we go over the etymology and definitions of the above terms and then get into an example of how 'conversations' on this topic usually play out within the corporate media [hint: they suck]. We also take a listen to some shitty pop music and ask 'how do the lyrics affect the human brain', mainly in an unconscious way. We conclude part 1 with an adaptation of the Zen TV Experiment and how it could be used with any kind of screen, to the benefit of us all. [Click to Listen]
