“Il benessere dei bambini danesi non è in caduta libera.” Incontra l’uomo che ha controllato i numeri

Er det ikke sådan det generelt går med medierne. De vil gerne køre sensationelle historier der gerne er negative da det for mest opmærksomhed. Kør en masse negative historier selv om det egentlig går bedre, så sælger man aviser (eller driver clicks på hjemmesiden).

Det er det samfund vi har designet der er menneskefjendsk. Vi skal ikke være andet end robotter der producerer og forbruger.

Erich Fromm forudså i 1960 denne generation ville falde og folk ikke ville kunne leve i denne robot verden vi har lavet. Han sagde at det var de syge der ville tilpasse sig den, og de raske der ikke ville fungerer i den. Dem der ikke kunne tilpasse sig den fremtidige robot verden ville komme på medicin sagde han.

Jeg kunne froklare og forklare men hellere linke til to korte klip der forklarer det fantastisk..

# Erich Fromm on Mental Health (1960)

“Our contemporary Western society, in spite of its material, intellectual and political progress, is increasingly less conducive to mental health, and tends to undermine the inner security, happiness, reason and the capacity for love in the individual; it tends to turn him into an automaton who pays for his human failure with increasing mental sickness, and with despair hidden under a frantic drive for work and so called pleasure.” Erich Fromm

““The sick individual finds himself at home with all other similarly sick individuals. The whole culture is geared to this kind of pathology. The result is that the average individual does not experience the separateness and isolation the fully schizophrenic person feels. He feels at ease among those who suffer from the same deformation; in fact, it is the fully sane person who feels isolated in the insane society – and he may suffer so much from the incapacity to communicate that it is he who may become psychotic.”” Eric Fromm

“In capitalism economic activity, success, material gains, become ends in themselves. It becomes man’s fate to contribute to the growth of the economic system, to amass capital, not for purposes of his own happiness or salvation, but as an end in itself. Man became a cog in the vast economic machine – an important one if he had much capital, an insignificant one if he had none – but always a cog to serve a purpose outside of himself.” Erich Fromm

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution”

Aldous Huxley

“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.” They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.”

Aldous Huxley
