Without Direction
I know a lot of software packages backwards and forwards but real creativity or inspiration escapes me most of the time. I've been conditioned by my military service to wait for orders. Rarely does inspiration come to me anymore. Maybe I'm just cynical.
Today something triggered me to combine the hypocrisy of President Obama's stance on the TPP versus NAFTA, along with the pervasive hypnotic enslavement of the main-stream media.
After posting it on G+ and Facebook, there was so far nearly no interest in even viewing it.
I didn't ad any text to the video but I figured I could add some later using YouTube captions. I can't think of any right off the top of my head.
I thought someone out there must "get it." Apparently not. What's missing?

From Magic to Mayhem
When I was young I was into magic tricks and illusions as a hobby. They were purely visual stimuli that were occasionally mind-blowing novelties. Studying Communication isn't just about learning how to use the tools of mass media, it can send you down a rabbit hole of ethically and legally borderline psychological manipulation. You never see anything quite the same again and every message received is met with skepticism.
You begin to question why you feel the way you do about other groups, cultures, belief systems, behaviors, etc. How were you made to feel the way you do about other races, religions, sexual orientations, etc?
You begin to question what purpose was behind creating those feelings and the answer can only be one: to divide and conquer.
