While some individuals break free of the mental controls, the larger numbers remain bound in chains of delusion and ignorance, puppets of their controlling institutions. This is humanity's fundamental pathology, resulting from instituted delusion which maintains pathological levels of ignorance and dependency within populations. To free the species, enabling populations to educate themselves, in spite of institutionaL pressures to the contrary, there must be a readily available forum for factual truth and reality, as well as a display of the root causes of problems, something that has been largely suppressed over the ages by human institutions. The internet, the World Wide Web, so far, is exhibiting the ability to do this. The media has played a key role in the instillation and perpetuation of the delusions, shaping public opinion to support the controlling institutions and, thus, the fundamental social dysfunctions.
Societies always reflect the premises upon which they operate.
Real correction, social harmony and positive change, in terms of groups and organizations, can be realized only when popular rationality reaches levels high enough to press for and support those changes. This increase in popular rationality will never occur under the control of our institutions. The premises upon which these institutions operate, and their motives, lie elsewhere. The individual must first be given the intellectual tools necessary to step beyond the restrictive mandates of culture. The survival and well-being of the species ultimately depends upon personal freedom, without it there can be no increase in popular rationality and responsibility.
