   …The Dharma explains how the human mind controlled by the three poison Desire Fear and Ignorance creates suffering and thereby is our weakness. We have to be aware that there are those who exploit these weaknesses for evil ends, in extremely subtle ways.

   The problem is that eastern teachers have not read George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldus Huxley’s Brave New World.
   
   Neil Postman
   “What Orwell feared were those who would ban books.
   What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.
   Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information.
   Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism.
   Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us.
   Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance.
   Orwell feared we would become a captive culture.
   Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy.

   As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny “failed to take into account man’s almost infinite appetite for distractions.”
   In 1984, Orwell added, people are controlled by inflicting pain.
   In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure.

   In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us.
   Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us.”

   …They also have to study Edward Bernays

   “If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it.” – Edward Bernays
