Re: Comprehending the Whale From Within Its Belly
[ QUOTE ]
I claim that we are all ideologues within our society and as such our view is seriously compromised. To understand our reality we must first discover how to stand outside of our personal ideologies. Ideology prejudices our view and blinds us to reality and only after recognizing this fact can we begin to analyze our situation.

As my man Slavoj Zizek says, the great thing about ideology is that it's invisible. It is at the precise moment that we declare ourselves free from ideology that it's working at its best.

Our consumer culture through the schooling institutions has molded us into superficial creatures unable to withstand the inducements of our foolish value system.
