âLetâs face it. We live in a command-based system, where we have been
programmed since our earliest school years to become followers,
not individuals. We have been conditioned to embrace teams,
the herd, the masses, popular opinion â and to reject what is different,
eccentric or stands alone. We are so programmed that all it takes
for any business or authority to condition our minds to follow or buy
something is to simply repeat a statement more than three or four times
until we repeat it ourselves and follow it as truth or the best trendiest thing.
This is called âprogrammingâ â the frequent repetition of words to condition us
how to think, what to like or dislike, and who to follow.â
