Listen now | Our conversation with this week’s guest, Johann Hari, moves from the individual to the collective as we discuss the digital algorithms that keep us locked into online life and the ways of resetting our consciousness — both personally and societally — that can lead us to a better way of being.
If u are like me, u have never heard of ROKOTV but its simple free and EZ. GO DO IT.
J Hari is a hero of mine from back 2010 when i was thrown into various harmful God spewing useless AA groups for "Addiction" The only thing GOD did for me was somehow lead me to his book. He, Gabor Mate (YES Arrons dad!) and Dr Carl Hart at long last tell the truth about drugs and provide sensible workable alternatives to the BS religious AA industrial complex of shaming and lying to you. Great interview !
MSM outlets are nothing more and nothing less than PR agents of the Establishment. And, as such, they are certainly the enemy… “Of the people”? Well, that’s tricky. Because it suggests that those entities are on different sides of the barricade. Which is hardly the case. The thing is, Kyle is almost there with his “it may have to do with human nature”. Because it totally does have. The Matrix isn’t imposed. Neither through coercion nor even through deceit. It’s chosen. It's just some kind of “social contract”. You lie to us, but you lie what we want to hear. People don’t go to mainstream outlets to get factual information or challenge their preferred way of seeing things by discovering inconvenient truths. They want room service for their money. And they want to know the rules of the game. Since the rules are set by those in power, people are interested in listening to TPTB’s ‘official representatives’. This is why the overwhelming majority of them still turn to all sorts of media hacks. Despite calling this machine the “enemy” in order to shift responsibility. And despite knowing for a fact that those “truth tellers” lie for a living…
Pretty much the same goes for the second part of the episode. As for this attention span thing specifically…I mean…come on, guys :)

“The media are truly the enemy of the people”?
