Very nice summary. I checked the YouTube video and it's over 3 hours so maybe I'll watch it later.
About the subject of psychoanalysis and propaganda the Vedas discuss this very deeply. The whole philosophy of the mind, self and Self is covered in the Bhagavad Gita.
Basically this is the Age of Quarrel or Kali Yuga (Age, era or time). This Age of Quarrel started 5,000 years ago and from that point we are degenerating for 10,000 years. Eventually the average human will live to 30 at best. This age is full of confusion and this confusion ranges from retarded to highly sophisticated but, and this is a big but, both the sophisticated and the retarded are materialists. That is the worship of the material world and the desire to be God by ignoring the Creator of everything. It's a mental illness.
Central planning is atheistic in that is not the disbelief in God but the desire to usurp God. Similarly to the concept of Ahimsa (non-violence) doesn't deny violence but wishes to remove it. The Anti philosophy rhetoric is strong in both the analytical and the sensual. Both ignore the achievements of a hundred thousand years of modern humans in favor of humanism which is elevating mankind to cattle and creators.
I'll try to watch this sometime when I have more time.
Thank you for posting this.
I like reading your thoughts here, I sense this could be a great post of its own, or even a series of posts. Was just chatting with my gf earlier today about how much I like the gita and how I want to read more of the upanishads.
