Sundeep Waslekar believes that people are brainwashed by politicians, by the media, by social media these days.
Yes, people are brainwashed by politicians, by the media, by social media these days. People are brainwashed. You know, I’m a person who reads, but I never see television news.
I don’t have social media. My publisher of one of my books earlier forced me to go on social media, so I nominally opened the accounts, I never visit them, except LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the only one I visit because I’m professionally connected, but otherwise Facebook, Twitter, I don’t visit. I don’t read newspapers much. I give half an hour just to take a look at the newspaper headlines. And I’m not missing out on anything.
But people spend hours and hours following the television news or the media or the social media and get brainwashed. And many people don’t even think. And so if you tell people that the world is likely to be massacred by in a nuclear war or in an AI war or even in a climate crisis, they don’t feel. It’s not their problem because they don’t see it on the screens. They just see what is on the screen and screen of the computers, screen of the TVs, screen of their mobile. And on the screen, they are just seeing this artificial films and messages which are produced by political and media masters.
Therefore, they don’t see what’s happening in the world. They just see what’s being presented to them. And so this is a serious problem. So if you ask someone that, you know, would you like to see the word massacred in a nuclear war? And he would probably give you a very –distant reply and say that, you I don’t care, and it won’t happen, and you are talking lies.
