Excerpt from pedo anon in cuties thread, it's on whether "elites are trying to normalize pedophilia"

>I believe it is already happening, though.
Fat chance. You saw the outrage with cuties, and those were with 13 and 14 year old girls (which wouldn't even make it pedophilia) and cuties is not near the worse offender when it comes to media sexualization of young girls. It merely made more people aware of it and put the thought into peoples minds.
Soon, and it's already happening now people are giving shit to highschool seniors dating freshman and people are internalizing who they can and cannot be sexually attracted to unconsciously policing their own sexuality thus turning them into a neuorotic mess.
>YOU'RE NOT A PEDO, are you anon?
It's useful for the current establishment of elites that the average girl is able to fool around with her peers but not with someone older.
If a young girl is sexually attractive she'd either have to be on the pill (many teenage girls are) or risk getting pregnant. The pill itself already causes it's own hormonal issues and if the girl were to get pregnant she'd have no choice but to get an abortion as there is no way someone would want to be a parent today before they're out of highschool thus further normalizing the abortion phenomenon and further delaying motherhood until le meme career is achieved.

Sun Tzu and Clausewitz had a lot to say about controlling the masses. Pretty much anything on the polisci reading lists deals with this. Although, I must say, it's more of a challenge to do it *without mass media*. Whatever "mass media" even means... since, essentially, by definition a medium of news, popular culture, etc. is intended for and consumed by "the masses."

Behavioral economics could be useful, but it's really just a more sophisticated branch of psychology.

Go read Doctrines of Fascism or pretty much anything about the Third Reich. (Even though, if we're splitting hairs, true Nazis weren't really fascistic in their ideology)

A) People aren't responding to the pandemic because of "mass media." They're responding to costly signals and social cues, as well as loss aversion and the fear of death.

If you came in on a horse and told people they're going to kill grandma if they don't fuckin' suck it, they'd probably suck it. Of course, they'd have to trust you, first. And "mass media" certainly helps with that. There's a lot of psychology involved in having someone on a screen in your home every day, talking to you about some very intimate things.

Nonetheless, "mass media" is a function of the problem.

We trust "the experts." Because they went to the far-away lands and perused the sacred texts and learned how to perform the sacred rites in order to appease the mysterious, invisible forces...

If shamans said to suck it, you'd suck it. Even if you didn't want to. Because everyone else was sucking it. You don't want to be the one not sucking it. Else you get banished. Or worse.

B)

Netflix is a content aggregator. They don't really express any editorial stances.

And, for fuck's sake, the show was intended to RAIL AGAINST THE SEXUALIZATION OF CHILDREN. There were middle-aged teenage girls wearing clothing many reasonable people might object to. Nonetheless, in Arkansas and much of the south, those girls could get bedded down by pudgy bastards with three Glock 17s next to their bed as comfort animals.

You want to fight against pedophilia, start with that shit. Not calling every one a zionist shill on some obscure chatboard.

C)

Marketing, political science, and economics all deal heavily with this subject.

It's not some simple thing.

What are you trying to influence "the masses" to do? And what "mass media" are you using?

I mean, there are many different "masses." And many different media.

Are you trying to convince people not to do something or to do something?

Over what period of time?

There's a difference between "control" and "influence". A lot of things influence me, even Netflix that I've never actually seen installed on anyone's computer, but I go to /lit/ and despite everything happen to read about it. On the other hand, saying that Disney "controlled" people to the point of making them buy dogs is slightly moronic. Your "big picture" is really just the small picture but you're so obsessed with it that it seems like big picture.

Pretty misleading statements here.

Chess is still deep, we are still galaxies away from fully solving it in any meaningful fashion. It's just that computers have become vastly better at it than humans, but there is no telling how our computers would fare against an ideal, flawless chess algorithm (if there even is one). We just don't have a very systematic understand of the game yet, just plenty of heuristics and computers that are very good at fine-tuning heuristics.

In the case of chess a big leap was when computers started to become able to compute four moves away or more with great accuracy. At that point even grandmasters will blunder from time to time, and in the 90s, while computer were rarely as brilliant as grandmasters, they also did blunder much less. So it was pretty mechanical in a sense.

In the case of Go, it required the applying of several advanced algorithmic techniques together to break the human barrier, as well as several months of training on massive data.

Logic alone isn't enough (too many logical combination in such a game), you need solid visual pattern recognition and robust decision mechanics, as well as a high degree of adaptability and lots of experience (alphago typically has played more grandmaster level games against itself than there have been such games in the history of mankind).

All those are finer than logic, all are attempts at replicating human abilities to an extent, and all those were lacking from computers until pretty recently. None of them are really well-understood so far, it's really tinkering upon tinkering. How we came there is far from obvious or natural.

And, again, nothing subtle about it. It's all pretty obvious and the idea that chess = smart = tactician = learning to think like a head of state much predates the netflix show, if anything the show is banking on the implicit memes about the chess that are long embedded in our culture.

Acceptance of homosexuality would be the opposite, turning something not accepted into something acceptable.

Literally anything can influence us and that's not a bad thing. Say a character in a book is eating a sandwich and that made me want to make a similar sandwich, has this book tricked me? Or say I see a person on the street wearing a nice coat, and I think to myself that I would look good in a coat too, so I go and buy a coat. Am I a victim of a psyop now?

>the idea that chess = smart = tactician = learning to think like a head of state much predates the netflix show, if anything the show is banking on the implicit memes about the chess that are long embedded in our culture.
This right here for the anons wondering how chess is becoming more popular. People prefer to think of themselves as smart, a good person, have free agency, not easily influenced or persuaded, and above propaganda. However, I think the influx of people getting into playing chess is incidental and not as a goal oriented maneuver by a small group of people to direct the masses to play chess.

The fact that you care so much about something arbitrary like age of consent proves anon's point that you are oversocialized cattle. The fact is, throughout history until relatively recently, nobody cared about the age of the girl so long as she hit puberty for the most part. Pedophilia as an act that is socially unacceptable and criminalized is a modern phenomenon. You are a sheep who takes the typical values of the present day for granted. Though I admit I NOPE the fuck out whenever I meditate on this topic for too long.

The show is good imho. I really enjoyed it.

I don't what this thread is about to be honest. Truth is, first people get controlled via media, then people get controlled through reflecting given media, then people get controlled through accepting their lack of knowledge about given media. There is no real 'outside' of the control. The key is to change your narrative. Impose enjoyment on yourself. Control is a dumb narrative. It's reminiscnet of edgy teens and you should grow up and overcome this stupid selfdamaging waste of time.

>> No.16958180

>>16958160
Control is definitely happening and people who still consume mainstream news & media are all caught in it. It's fine to do it every now and then, but if you watch Neflix regularly, listen to modern music, read mainstream newspapers, etc., you need a proper detox or you'll lose touch with reality like most people you see on Twitter or Reddit already have.
