    DIVISION OF MIND   “In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first.”- Fredrick Winslow Taylor, The Principles of Scientific Management   Have you ever found yourself browsing through the want ads and see “Wanted: volunteers for scientific research….” and think “who would ever opt to be experimented on for money?” Meanwhile, you wake up at the same time everyday, march off to work, file in line and proceed to perform robot-like tasks to the point of automation, as if you're not the subject of an experiment that just so happens to be a little farther along in its study. Everyday, millions take part in social engineering experiments under the guise of free will and the desire for a paycheck. Guinea Pigs for the captains of industry.   “Only we’re not automatons.

Watson- founder of Behaviorism    According to this worldview, the behavior of organisms, and therefore including human beings, is predictable and controllable. In 1920 at John Hopkins University, Watson did a series of experiments on babies ranging in age of 3 month to 1 year. Remarkably simple in practice, they ...

Originally designed for dictation machines, improvements in fidelity led them to be ideal for audio recording and is largely what it’s remembered for today whether in prerecorded or blank format. While the cassette has had a resurgence among the “trendy” and the perceived “hip” for their collection of “kitsch”, the idea of the cassette as a cultural tool or weapon is rarely looked at.   Behind the Iron Curtain, the Soviet Union used Melodiya- the state controlled recording firm to release music. Defined by shortages of prerecorded music and by censorship, only “official” bands were recorded and all releases were vinyl. Very few western or “pre-approved” acts were issued as most were banned as “ideologically harmful”. The introduction of the music cassette to the Eastern Bloc lead to underground, angrier, younger groups not allowed to record in studios to covertly rel...
