[UBIQUITOUS ASSIMILATION is on the blackboard]

♩So, what is ubiquitous assimilation?

♪Always absorbing everything everywhere all the time.

♫ How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

[DOUBLETHINK is on the blackboard, from Orwell's "1984"]

♩Having two oppositing beliefs at once. Beliving that both are true.
♪To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.
♫ Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are wh*res, bi*ches, things to be screwed, beaten, sh*t on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.
♬ So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.
