Zorro

ZORRO:Timon of Athens. But most often they wrote in code or refused to write at all. They actually taught through techniques and disciplines which made people truly know what can be and how to become adept as individuated parts of the collective or 'nous'.

Michael Rivero has a few words to ponder - "Many people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all."

Poetry and music have an integrative force that appeals to the people who are tired of all the perambulations that intellectual hegemonies employ. They let their music function to inspire the masses more than write large tomes and argue linear-logical epistemological or other fine points that seldom lead to real change. There are many different learning styles and neurological constructs that are not enabled in the present social programming that takes place in school. I dare say the creative and spatial thinking populace will be well represented in the counter-cultural groups like Goths and Hippies.
