Instant communication. Is it, really? If so, it is now possible that we may be creating a Global Brain in which, eventually, all thoughts, everywhere will be accessible to everyone. Taiwan used images of the U.S.'s Lady Liberty to get the attention of the U.S. Pictures are more effective than slogans, but slogans in English and pictures that convey, "All we want is the freedom that you enjoy" may be deceptive. Nothing new in deception in politics. However, we all need to be aware that images and slogans may actually hide the true intentions and the truth itself. It's not good perhaps to allow images to result in instant beliefs and opinions, but that's the nature of this optical dominance over the thought porcesses. To find the truth takes time, effort and a lot of understanding of multiple perspectives. Maybe we need to slow down.
