"Comfortably numb"

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” - Upton Sinclair
Instead of reading a stupid interview with MOL, people would be better off reading this: Paychecks, Perception, Propaganda & Power.

I know it's a lot of reading, especially for today's generation who want instant gratification and an immediate upgrade when they have 3-4000 hours, but it's an eye opener of how the system, i.e. FTL's, data monitoring & propaganda ("pilots only work 20 hours per week") is used against us pilots.

Download it for your iPads, laptops and what have ya's, and read it on a long(er) flight!

Humans are a flawed species. Our minds are easily manipulated. We don’t like pain. We prefer instant gratification. We are susceptible to mass delusion. We will often choose hope over critical thought. Those with higher IQs will regularly attempt to take advantage of those with lower IQs. Fear and greed are the two motivations used by the minority in power to control and manipulate the majority.
