More From Paul Muldoon

Confusion has become a state of mind, more of less; we're trained to be confused. quite simply, the people in power are keeping us down, keeping us docile and keeping us consuming with this confusion. it's a cultural confusion and it is deliberate.
Confused People Confusion
E-commerce is happening the way all the hype said it would. internet deployment is happening. broadband is happening. everything we ever said about the internet is happening. and it is very, very early. we can't even glimpse it's potential in changing the way people work and live.
Hype People Deployment
Making a living and having a life are not the same thing. making a living and making a life that's worthwhile are not the same thing. living the good life and living a good life are not the same thing. a job title doesn't even come close to answering the question. "what do you do?".

Mistake Mean Men
The thing is too that when you sell people a false reality and they take that to be the norm, when that false reality is light-years from what’s really happening, that in itself is a tremendous defense mechanism because when you start talking about what is actually happening, it is so different from what people perceive to be happening. they just can’t make that jump; it’s too insane for them.
