Important food for thought!

The control regime, on the other hand, cannot simply change. It's not so much a person as a software running in powerful social networks.

That's a powerful way to frame the control regime!!

An effective way for the control regime to pursue their own interests despite its harm on society is to keep the people desensitized and apathetic. Information overload, excessive violence in our movies and tv shows, media narratives that emphasize how hopeless we are in solving the real problems we face. The people's imagination for a better future and ability to collaborate has been stunted. How do we awaken our slumbering humanity?
