![]() ![]() In regard to Edward L Winston and many of the people participating in his community, a very common use of the derogatory term “Conspiracy Theorist” serves as a mantra of 'presupposed rejection' regarding certain forms of information. There are three points I would like to make in this regard:ġ)The first we will call “Ideological Bigotry”- thus loosely defined as the dismissal/denouncing of a person, based on the mere presentation of conclusions which are outside of the other person's preferred reality. Such denial can manifest in many ways, often by finding/inventing a “justification” for the bias to prevail. Beliefs, and the emotions it creates, are often very difficult to transcend when conflicting information is presented that might challenge or void an existing belief. One might call this “Intellectual Inhibition”. Seldom do people realize that they have conditioned tendencies to censor information they personally receive, for the sake of their own identity. We often think of censorship as a deliberate, conscious act, in an external context. Methodical censorship triumphs in the guise of scholarly rigor, and the only room left for searching thought becomes the game of competing rationalizations.” In such a social order, thought becomes indistinguishable from propaganda.Social consciousness is incarcerated within the role of a kind of ceremonial logic, operating entirely within the received framework of an exhaustively prescribed regulatory apparatus protecting the privileges of the privileged. In the current final order, is it so different?. “In the last dark age, one can search the inquiries of this era’s preserved of thinkers from Augustine to.Ockham, and fail to discover a single page of criticism of the established social framework, however rationally insupportable feudal bondage, absolute paternalism, divine right of kings and the rest may be. of Philosophy in Canada, put the basic issue well: In my lecture called Socially Pathology, I expanded this “Mind Lock” phenomenon in regard to how people censor information they receive based on socially contrived mental barriers they put up, which typically comes from assumptions of “normality”, which they have been indoctrinated into. I feel there is a great deal to learn from it in regard to the larger social problem of culturally influenced mental illness by way of memes and the circular reinforcement (feedback loops) that results within self-isolated groups. The issue I want to address here has nothing to do with the supposed “Debunking” of my films on the website, but rather the tactics, mentality and what I can only classify as a biased based mental illness of its author, Edward L Winston, along the near pathological nature of the rather Anti-TZM community it has fostered. Since I have been stuck in the UK, with only so much I can do, I have been occasionally reviewing the content and social activity on a website called.
