I love that phrase, "caste system for the mind." Going to use that.
Your nudge toward studying history is confirmation for what I've been discovering lately. Reading history is a much better use of time than following newsfeeds. Currently I'm reading about the American betrayal of Pres. Diem of So. Viet Nam. The Secretary of State Averell Harriman was feeding the press the 'can't win with Diem" lies to apply political pressure to Kennedy for betraying Diem. The result was an unsalvageable mess of an escalating war. Propaganda always leaves a wake of destruction and often leads to war.
The book is "The Lost Mandate of Heaven: The American Betrayal of Ngo Dinh Diem President of Vietnam." Very sad reading.
So True, "Propaganda always leaves a wake of destruction and often leads to war." Sounds like a good book to put on the list. Time brings the truth out.. and yet like you said instead we have our noses in the newsfeeds.
