When I talk of "artificial crisis" I don't mean that there is no crisis at all, but rather that the narratives being presented to the public are artificial, presumably in an attempt to steer behaviour in a direction those creating the artificial crisis believe will help address the real crisis. This is, in my understanding from a life spent observing events here, an enormously flawed approach which seems destined to ruination. By employing such circuitous methods, it becomes a game of attempting to divine the inner workings of everyone's minds, which is a foolish game as even similar words and symbols can take on significantly different meanings to each individual. Even people themselves are not capable of fully expressing every nuance of what any given symbol means to them.

This is one reason why I can not accept a methodology which refuses to interact as directly as possible on an individual level.

Information is lost in communication regardless of the method used. Therefore it seems to be appropriate to me to ensure the least amount of information is lost. Yet the methods I see being employed appear to embrace removing as much information as possible; the polar opposite of my thoughts.
