Bet on the psychology of the masses. People in groups behave differently. Gustave Le Bon, 1895. For example, if you're yahoo, ask for the cell phone number of the member. Say it's for their good. It will work in a worthwhile percentage. Distance gouvernements from channels of expression which are then owned by private companies. Private companies take business decisions, not political ones. Private companies can limit expression of people, can narrow fields of expression and this is not going against democracy which is presumably guarded separately by governments. Bring turmoil to countries by taking supposedly uninformed wrong decisions then use security as cover to gather information and restrict liberties. Make earning a living and entertainment the top priorities so that only very few who have the leeway, the spare cycles, to think and ponder on societal issues. Keep people busy. People should not be intimately aware that they are living. Always out going. Never inside. On these enjoyable thoughts, I would like to close with the trailer of a film to be made about a band I like much, whose music is now more than 45 years in existence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V80oFyeJh1g And the apt-titled piece for the context of this thread, "Zombies", live in Utrecht, November 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhiuoxuU-9o _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
