As I sit here and watch Bugs Bunny and listen to Kraaftwerk on the stereo one thing come to my mind, communication. What do I hear? Why do I miss some things? It could be that I'm just stupid. Or that I'm not paying attention. Or ... it could be that I'm not supposed to notice.
That's right!
I'm not supposed to notice.
Sometimes very important things seem to get lost in the multitude of information that is being fed to humanity today. Bugs Bunny is good simply because the lack of any thing serious in it. I don't pay attention or get anything out of it, but then I'm not supposed to.
Kraaftwerk is good too, but wait a minute,
maybe I do get something out of them both!
Some times I see Bugs as a picture of all humankind. Ole Elmer chasin' round after Bugs, and Daffy always getting shot in the end. Isn't that the way it always is? Some third party always gets injured.
And Kraaftwerk, the hypnotic beat doesn't seem to ever stop, am I being told never to stop? Is this a critique, or a result of modern life?
There's really no way to tell.
But then, if that's just the little I've learned consciously, God only knows how much was subliminally fed into my mine.
Not enough time is spent indoctrinating the children.
...much later now, and I've learned that it's true. There hasn't been enough time in my life for me to have learned everything I know.
But now that I relize the power of subliminal teaching, the question is how do I harness it and use it for my good.
I mean, as long as people are being taught subliminally, why have them memorizing old reruns of Gilligan's Isle?
