Ideology and Idiotology

18 Comments
I have concluded that we do not have an ideology, we have an idiotology. Ideology is defined as:  "A system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy.." According to Louis Althusser, ideology "can be described as a set of conscious and unconscious ideas that make up one's beliefs, goals, expectations, and motivations." Our current idiotology is based on belief in:  the Capitalist system, the Male-dominant system, Wars forever, Progress based on debt, Failing to Feed people, Medicine that causes health problems, Education that constricts consciousness, Business that competes, Allowing 1% of the people to own everything, Destruction of the environment, Religions based on rules made up by humans, Monsanto et al.
