NTGNTP (6th Draft): CAUSE AND CONSEQUENCE Part 1.9.3

Efficiency is the prime motivator. Maximum gain for smallest expense is demanded by doctrine for highest economic performance and profit. Progress is a strong myth. The circumstance have been exploited for maximum advantage. Checked rural populations, long out of direct reach, are simply an added bonus for the power elite. Those believing conspiracy have been led by the nose. The complex world economic order requires rising to meet demands, not futile or inefficient attempts at controlling events. All else would be waste. This deficiency is attributable to a tendency to personify the unhuman in human terms. Propaganda supplies the image and maintains the trait through repeated usage. Any opportunist may accomplish this task by these procedures. Hence, counter-propaganda is created using the same techniques and readily available avenues. Both convinces the individual of his freedom while binding him with chains. The former must be overcome, thereby loosening the latter. Most will not admit their own stupidity in these matters. Convinced in their minds, conditioned by the myth of the right answer, and believing spoon fed half-truths, these sort restricts their own potential. Very few would admit to their true state. The herd requires self-respect for the best possible grazing animal. A hundred million people declaring bankruptcy would shake the financial world and far beyond. However, most people stay in constant debt because they fear the effect discharge would have upon future credit. The worst possible consequence would be the blessing of never going into debt again. A large mass of capital forfeiture would not be easily absorbed. Clout would be negatively impacted. Hence, people must be convinced otherwise for the sake of efficiency. A hundred million signatures on the proverbial dotted line could bring real freedom from economics, but this will never happen. The herd is weak.
