PedroCarpintero IF what you just wrote here are your words, then they are well spoken and absolutely true. Cognitive Dissonance and bias are learned behaviors that permeate society, this plays well in the hand of the Houdini's of this world, smoke and mirrors, sleight of hand, trickery, lies. Certainly the entertainment world and news world knows this and has since the inception of radio and TV.
Great thoughts.... keep them coming.

VonCraq Thanks... The first part was paraphrasing one of the protocols of zion... I couldn't remember word for word.
PedroCarpintero Quote: "People get outraged because of some treachery played out in a soap opera". Right on.
People are taught about triviality in emotions as in soap operas, but are desensitized in traumatic events like the Gaza murder of women and children or the Ukraine loss of hundreds of thousands and 9/11.

Dwoods44 It's called 'soap' for a reason. If folks aren't hypnotised by that make-believe then they twitter and gossip about Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp... But mention those real life WOMEN and children going through those atrocities, the Feminists suddenly go deaf, the 'spiritual' start fidgeting and look the other way, and one is left wondering what happened to humankind.
Yeah, people accept a lie about themselves - or that another is presenting - because facing the truth requires that they acknowledge what part they are playing, and any responsibility they have, in living up to their own values; some of which, they are failing to live up to.

That is one of the premises in the success of the protocol: everyone loves a deception... If people were to discover the truth, they would be too busy admiring the deception - "A deception... Yes... But a great deception it was!"
You only have to study the hydraulics of comedy to realise that most humour runs off trickery and deception, lies and make-belief. We don't laugh because we are deceived, but because we touch the bare cable of truth and feel its power when the lie is exposed. Knowledge is power, and lies act as the protective covering.
I don't think the problem is people's enjoyment being deceived in itself, but that people do not have their own ethical standards about what is right or wrong. People get outraged because of some treachery played out in a soap opera, but they shrug their shoulders with impotence when the mayor or president is exposed for a worse treachery.
