Even if men and women alike are not born, neither are babies born free nor do children usually grow up in free markets. All of evolution follows in the footsteps of their predecessors, their environments, and find their more or less appropriate milieus.
Although there is no void, we are nonetheless more or less free to avoid the experimental laboratories of manipulative propaganda dished up to suckers as free offers of vacuous engagement aiming to tie us down with Pavlovian chains into bondage with fake news stories, narratives, and fictions instead of realities.
The “modern” and “western” world today enables a great deal of freedom, but it does not force freedom. On the contrary, most of the institutions used to govern the “public” sphere today have historically developed out of previous institutions devoted primarily to censorship, repression and regulation of thought and ideas. It was only long after several centuries of reformation and revolution that publishing and the public sphere gradually became transformed into the quasi-free market marketplace for content that its consumers are familiar with today, albeit still constrained by a legal framework controlled by an elite establishment class hell-bent on reaping monopolistic profits from their efforts to manipulate “public knowledge”.
Suckers who fall for irrational media have (mostly, if not fully) themselves to blame. [1] Their own lackluster interest in self-enlightenment limits their own literacy and publicacy skills to the level of imbeciles. [2]
Irrational media are not public spaces, they are merely manipulation via proprietary brand names sanctioned by governments. These institutions, whether governmental or industrial corporations, are unreliable and distrustworhty (i.e., they are worthy of distrust). Their manipulative experiments rely on suckers willing to consume almost anything for free. Suckers do not realize that exposure to “free” propaganda is basically equivalent to bathing in filth.
Enlightened public communities will resist irrational media like the plague that it is. They have no inclination whatsoever towards consuming propaganda. Instead, they coalesce around indigena [3] and rely on the “Wisdom of the Language”, in other words: coherent rational thought and ideas based on natural language.
