New Year, not so new ideas to "improve" mankind

Plutocrats, technocrats and social manipulators are enamored with the idea that they can improve mankind. Their concept of improvement is coercing the populace to accept on faith invasive measures that induce docility and controllability. An interesting take on faith coming from those attempting to reconfigure reality, or the perception thereof. By directing people's beliefs to blindly accept the manipulators' version of reality (or religion), they think they can use others' faith tendencies to provoke blissful ignorance of the real world. Despite that rather dour introduction, don't allow that or the following to deter the independent and faithful from hope as the New Year unfolds. There is light at the end of the tunnel.
