Be conscious of the lies.

For those of you who don’t already do this, it might be instructive for you to be conscious of all the lies and misrepresentations you are dealt with on a daily basis. Whether it be watching television or reading the newspapers (if you still haven’t weaned yourself off MSM), going to the grocery store, or hearing other people talk, pay close attention and catch all the lies, misrepresentations, false associations and manipulations you can. You might be surprised.

    I do this already. The 1988 movie “They Live!” was an interesting documentary. I call those secret messages “fnords”.

    The really interesting bit is that there’s both good fnords and evil fnords. The good fnords are alien-generated, and are clues to help people figure out what’s going on. For example, “The Matrix” is an example of a good fnord. The evil fnords are human-generated. The evil fnords are everywhere. For example, the top story on the local news is frequently a murder case. The fnord is “People are intrinsically evil. Therefore, the State is needed.” Similarly, “news” coverage of Obama or McCain is a fnord saying “Your vote for President matters, and these two people are the best choices.”

    I think you are referring to implicit premises.
