it's fine NetflixObeseWindows just said it gives immunty and does not alter (for too long) our genes .. it's fine !
on another note, this quote is glorious :
"To quell any revolt in advance, it is important not to do it violently.
Archaic methods like Hitler's are clearly outdated.
It suffices to create such a powerful collective conditioning that the very idea of revolt will not even enter the minds of men.
The ideal would be to format individuals from birth by limiting their innate biological abilities ...
Then, we would continue conditioning by drastically reducing the level & quality of education, to bring it back to a form of professional integration.
An uneducated individual has only a limited horizon of thought and the more his thought is confined to material, mediocre concerns, the less he can revolt.
We must ensure that access to knowledge becomes more and more difficult and elitist ... ... that the gap is widening between the people and science, that information intended for the general public is anesthetized from any subversive content . Especially no philosophy.
Here again, it is necessary to use persuasion and not direct violence: we will broadcast massively, via television, stupefying entertainment, always flattering the emotional, the instinctive.
We will occupy the spirits with what is futile and playful. It is good with incessant chatter and music, to keep the mind from questioning, thinking, reflecting.
We will put sexuality at the forefront of human interests.
As a social anesthetic, there is nothing better. In general, we will make sure to banish seriousness from existence, to make fun of everything that has a high value, to maintain a constant apology for lightness; so that the euphoria of advertising, of consumption becomes the standard of human happiness and the model of freedom.
The conditioning will thus produce such integration of itself, that the only fear (which will have to be maintained) will be that of being excluded from the system and therefore of no longer being able to access the material conditions necessary for happiness.
The mass man, thus produced, must be treated for what he is: a product, a calf, and he must be watched as a herd should be.
Anything that allows his lucidity to fall asleep, his critical mind is good socially, which would risk awakening him must be fought, ridiculed, stifled ...
Any doctrine challenging the system must first be branded as subversive and terrorist and those who support it must then be treated as such "
