    This is such a wonderful passionate and true speech about men of all times. Nothing has changed from 1962 to 2024….everything is still to accomplish….

    How important this message of wisdom is. This should been viewed by millions by now, especially when all kinds of trashy celebrity talk or sleazy music videos get millions of views instantly.

      People are conditioned not to think and are manipulated through the eliciting of and appeal to emotions. The reason media got so extreme, apart from the inherent financial interests behind it, is that the quest to conquer our emotions has led to unearth our innermost demons (or primal emotions). This is why Orwell created the notion of the “two minutes of hate” as a way to coalesce all that energy into one monolithic block of irrational animal instincts aimed at an phantasmal adversary (a decoy, if you will) that distracts the masses from the real threat of mental enslavement by self-proclaimed masters.

    Profound wisdom.
    When all self-concern ends, one starts to ask: what are the main reasons why society doesn't change for the better? It seems we have built ourselves a big mess we cannot get out of.
    The masses see capitalistic democracy as the best possible system. There is no imagination of any alternative. One which would be humane, one which wouldn't turn individuals to workhorses, or passive beings. Besides this, we're under mass distraction. It's insane how celebrities like Cardi B are more known to people than lets say, Gabor Mate, or Iain McGilChrist.

    We know what a barbaric world looks like, because we are living in one now, and that is because of people's religious ideology, they were unable to believe people in other countries could behave humanly. Imagine what the world would be like had we listened to Erich Fromm back then and put his ideas into practice.

As a milking cow is a different cow comparing with a cow on her way to the slaughterhouse , yet they are all cows.

    It's not possible without ripping out the posts of centuries long held religious and paganistyc beliefs societies that a person could possibly be able to understand freedom in clear perspective of human perceptive domain as we can see Mr. Fromm staggering in between individual and collective concept of choice.

      @nonamehere-y2t 7 месяцев назад

      I think it is easier to understand this assuming God withdraws his presence from any man and the heart therefore hardens lacking the Holy Presence. God will allow therefore what He allows to happen by removing His holy presence is noted in the story as "God Did..", i.e. "God hardened it".
