How much of this business is really 'taking in our own laundry' is hard to tell at a glance. Some say that the business with disease is largely responsible for keeping us sick, as there is no financial reward in having a healthy population. On the other hand, much money is to be made from selling remedies that do not cure but merely alleviate our symptoms. Doctor yourself - take responsibility for your own health - is the motto of Andrew W. Saul, one of the major proponents of orthomolecular medicine, a system of health care based on supplying the nutritional elements...

That all we need to do is envision, with positive thought, what we want and it will surely come about. Actually, a whole industry has sprung up around that meme, from life coaches to do-it-yourself success books. Perhaps the most recent and arguably one of the most widely known examples of this is The Secret, an inspirational film and a book that promote what is called the law of attraction. The object seems to be to obtain what you most wish for. In our society, that normally turns out to be financial success, but it is not necessarily limited to that. Now how does this...

It is the art of influencing and controlling behavior that we consider socially unacceptable by means of chemicals, yet psychiatry pretends to be a part of medicine, of an effort to help and heal. Sometimes psychiatrists have been called shrinks or head shrinkers. Shrinking heads was a traditional practice of some ferocious jungle tribes. Psychiatrists shock and drug their patients, many of whom end up leading a life of mere vegetation, and they may well feel that their head has been shrunk to resemble one of these...

A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned, in present-day totalitarian states, to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers." - Aldous Huxley - (1894-1963) Forword to 'Brave New World', 1932 Brave New World - Image from HuxleyNet.

Supposedly a healing art, it has instead developed into a tool of social control, removing the points of view that don't fit the paradigm. The bearers of uncomfortable views are labeled "crazy" - they are often incarcerated in institutions, shocked into oblivion or drugged until they forget.

The corollary and suggested remedy is that, putting a cap on food production, we can stop human population from further growing. The implied problem of population increase is that we are eating up our environment - we are diminishing the vital space of thousands of different species leading to their extinction, all in the name of food production. Personally, I believe that this is an oversimplified view and that, although we do cause havoc in the environment, population numbers may not be the exclusive or even the principal culprit in this play.
