Mind Pollution; The Poisoning of the Human Mind

After we crawled out of the seas, it took us thousands of generations to learn how to breathe the air and adapt to living on the land, our "natural environment". It's reasonable to assume that it will take us dozens of generations to adapt to the new, electronic environment that's rapidly replacing our "natural" one. The wild mood swings and the barely repressed anger may simply be symptoms of the shock our systems are experiencing in our daily lives. We are emerging evolutionary creatures, panting for breath on an electronic beach.
That beach is full of pollutants and poisons that added to all the human made pollutants that infect our Earth, water, air, and food will and does pollute and poison all we have left, namely our minds or what we have left of them.
The ecology of the mind is under threat with things such as noise, the 'info toxins' from the ad pedlars; cultural diversity and info-diversity.
With the quiet that descends by turning off the household god, known as television the silence allows the free flow of thought. Many are afraid of thoughts and will seek to silence them with noise.
For most of human history the ambient noise was wind, rain, insects, birds, animals and people. Now the soundtrack of our lives is the hum of electronics driving our hydro rates up be it computers, the endless droning of appliances and various gadgets and the dull roar of traffic. Various kinds of noise; white, pink,blue, brown, are ever omnipresent. Trying to live your life above our wired world is like living next to a speedway: you 'get used to it', but at the cost of your mindfulness.
Les noise is what we need. Silence is to a healthy mind what clean air and water are to a healthy body. Long ago we learned to be careful of what we dumped into our bodies; now we need to be equally careful about what we dump into our minds. Our minds are the pastures of the ad pedlars and what the peddle is poisoning our minds, both individually and collectively. It is a question of freedom.
When men mutually agreed to [a** laws against robbing, mankind became more free, not less so. We must decide whose freedom is more important: the bank robber's or the banker's; the ad marketeer's or our own. We need to grasp the idea of mind pollution; what is it and who designs it and orchestrates it; who feeds our minds with poisons...
