Wow, just wow! What a brilliant articulation.
I've come across Bernays recently, but there is so much more in your article, the actual mechanics of deception. And this:
Love is never portrayed as something other than attachment and lust.
That goes back a long way. And the noun is always empathised at expense of the verb.
A left-field question: are you aware of the "product placement" in Jane Eyre?
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to make myself clear. I have never seen Jane Eyre. What did you discover?
I meant the book and it seems to be pushed, so I assume it might have some piece of a puzzle. You deserve a longer answer. I will try to figure out exactly what I meant over the next few days.
Oh, the book. Ok.
