The Programmed Destruction of Thought

How to Resist Paperback
In our society, relationships are becoming strained, often conflictual, and destructive turbulence is becoming more and more difficult to contain. In short, our society is becoming dehumanized. It no longer knows which values ​​to refer to. Over time, we have trashed those that prevailed without replacing them with anything. By carefully analyzing the present context and our recent past, it appears that we are not faced with a fatality, but with wills structured to a demolition project. We have been duped in all areas, and particularly in education, literature, and the arts, to lead us, through a slow subversion, to dependence by the annihilation of the means of our autonomy. It is the thought of man that has been targeted. It is the place where it is developed that has been targeted: his brain. We have persisted in soliciting only one half of it, the other seat of reason has been abandoned. And over time we have slipped from reflection to emotion, from analysis to intuition, from elaborate argumentation to choice without nuance. Dialogues have become more and more difficult between us because our confrontations are based on feelings, and less and less on thoughtful remarks. But it is possible to react. Learning to read to get to the meaning of the written word restores the taste for good books. Establishing logical connections facilitates memory and its retention. The practice of questioning opens our minds to reflection. Remedies are possible without age appearing to us as a limiting factor. Poor basic learning has been confirmed as the most severe obstacles to intellectual development. We must take them up again without counting the time it takes to acquire them, because they constitute the base from which it is possible to rebuild, to start again.
