Re: Low

Metaphorically yes...literally? Well I might be late to the party on that. The closed off Western mind is blind to make a lot of judgements..further more it's scared.

Re: Low

Are you aware of the work of Edward Bernays Shoo?

And I quote..

Bernays's vision was of a utopian society in which individuals' dangerous libidinal energies, the psychic and emotional energy associated with instinctual biological drives that Bernays viewed as inherently dangerous given his observation of societies like the Germans under Hitler, could be harnessed and channeled by a corporate elite for economic benefit. Through the use of mass production, big business could fulfill the constant cravings of the inherently irrational and desire-driven masses, simultaneously securing the niche of a mass production economy (even in peacetime), as well as sating the dangerous animal urges that threatened to tear society apart if left unquelled.

Bernays's magisterial, philosophical touch is in evidence in "Manipulating Public Opinion" (1928) when he writes: "This is an age of mass production. In the mass production of materials a broad technique has been developed and applied to their distribution. In this age, too, there must be a technique for the mass distribution of ideas." Yet he recognized the potential danger in so grand a scheme and in "This Business of Propaganda" (1928), as elsewhere, sounded the great caveat to his vision: a public relations counsel "must never accept a retainer or assume a position which puts his duty to the groups he represents above his duty to society".

Im not sure anyone gave much attention to that last bit..

But if his words are anything to go by, and he is basically the architect for the society we see around us we can understand why when the economy turns sour people become rather more right wing in their thinking.. if people cannot appease their material desires they soon turn to the animalistic frustration and rage that was formally being suppressed by attainment of material goods and the self worth that went along with that attainment..
