America the Illiterate
http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20081110_america_the_illiterate/
Posted on Nov 10, 2008
By Chris Hedges
We live in two Americas. One America, now the minority, functions in a print-based, literate world. It can cope with complexity and has the intellectual tools to separate illusion from truth. The other America, which constitutes the majority, exists in a non-reality-based belief system. This America, dependent on skillfully manipulated images for information, has severed itself from the literate, print-based culture. It cannot differentiate between lies and truth. It is informed by simplistic, childish narratives and clichés. It is thrown into confusion by ambiguity, nuance and self-reflection. This divide, more than race, class or gender, more than rural or urban, believer or nonbeliever, red state or blue state, has split the country into radically distinct, unbridgeable and antagonistic entities.
There are over 42 million American adults, 20 percent of whom hold high school diplomas, who cannot read, as well as the 50 million who read at a fourth- or fifth-grade level. Nearly a third of the nation’s population is illiterate or barely literate. And their numbers are growing by an estimated 2 million a year. But even those who are supposedly literate retreat in huge numbers into this image-based existence. A third of high school graduates, along with 42 percent of college graduates, never read a book after they finish school. Eighty percent of the families in the United States last year did not buy a book.
The illiterate rarely vote, and when they do vote they do so without the ability to make decisions based on textual information. American political campaigns, which have learned to speak in the comforting epistemology of images, eschew real ideas and policy for cheap slogans and reassuring personal narratives. Political propaganda now masquerades as ideology. Political campaigns have become an experience. They do not require cognitive or self-critical skills. They are designed to ignite pseudo-religious feelings of euphoria, empowerment and collective salvation. Campaigns that succeed are carefully constructed psychological instruments that manipulate fickle public moods, emotions and impulses, many of which are subliminal. They create a public ecstasy that annuls individuality and fosters a state of mindlessness. They thrust us into an eternal present. They cater to a nation that now lives in a state of permanent amnesia. It is style and story, not content or history or reality, which inform our politics and our lives. We prefer happy illusions. And it works because so much of the American electorate, including those who should know better, blindly cast ballots for slogans, smiles, the cheerful family tableaux, narratives and the perceived sincerity and the attractiveness of candidates. We confuse how we feel with knowledge.
The illiterate and semi-literate, once the campaigns are over, remain powerless. They still cannot protect their children from dysfunctional public schools. They still cannot understand predatory loan deals, the intricacies of mortgage papers, credit card agreements and equity lines of credit that drive them into foreclosures and bankruptcies. They still struggle with the most basic chores of daily life from reading instructions on medicine bottles to filling out bank forms, car loan documents and unemployment benefit and insurance papers. They watch helplessly and without comprehension as hundreds of thousands of jobs are shed. They are hostages to brands. Brands come with images and slogans. Images and slogans are all they understand. Many eat at fast food restaurants not only because it is cheap but because they can order from pictures rather than menus. And those who serve them, also semi-literate or illiterate, punch in orders on cash registers whose keys are marked with symbols and pictures. This is our brave new world.
Political leaders in our post-literate society no longer need to be competent, sincere or honest. They only need to appear to have these qualities. Most of all they need a story, a narrative. The reality of the narrative is irrelevant. It can be completely at odds with the facts. The consistency and emotional appeal of the story are paramount. The most essential skill in political theater and the consumer culture is artifice. Those who are best at artifice succeed. Those who have not mastered the art of artifice fail. In an age of images and entertainment, in an age of instant emotional gratification, we do not seek or want honesty. We ask to be indulged and entertained by clichés, stereotypes and mythic narratives that tell us we can be whomever we want to be, that we live in the greatest country on Earth, that we are endowed with superior moral and physical qualities and that our glorious future is preordained, either because of our attributes as Americans or because we are blessed by God or both.
The ability to magnify these simple and childish lies, to repeat them and have surrogates repeat them in endless loops of news cycles, gives these lies the aura of an uncontested truth. We are repeatedly fed words or phrases like yes we can, maverick, change, pro-life, hope or war on terror. It feels good not to think. All we have to do is visualize what we want, believe in ourselves and summon those hidden inner resources, whether divine or national, that make the world conform to our desires. Reality is never an impediment to our advancement.
The Princeton Review analyzed the transcripts of the Gore-Bush debates, the Clinton-Bush-Perot debates of 1992, the Kennedy-Nixon debates of 1960 and the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858. It reviewed these transcripts using a standard vocabulary test that indicates the minimum educational standard needed for a reader to grasp the text. During the 2000 debates, George W. Bush spoke at a sixth-grade level (6.7) and Al Gore at a seventh-grade level (7.6). In the 1992 debates, Bill Clinton spoke at a seventh-grade level (7.6), while George H.W. Bush spoke at a sixth-grade level (6.8), as did H. Ross Perot (6.3). In the debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, the candidates spoke in language used by 10th-graders. In the debates of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas the scores were respectively 11.2 and 12.0. In short, today’s political rhetoric is designed to be comprehensible to a 10-year-old child or an adult with a sixth-grade reading level. It is fitted to this level of comprehension because most Americans speak, think and are entertained at this level. This is why serious film and theater and other serious artistic expression, as well as newspapers and books, are being pushed to the margins of American society. Voltaire was the most famous man of the 18th century. Today the most famous “person” is Mickey Mouse.
In our post-literate world, because ideas are inaccessible, there is a need for constant stimulus. News, political debate, theater, art and books are judged not on the power of their ideas but on their ability to entertain. Cultural products that force us to examine ourselves and our society are condemned as elitist and impenetrable. Hannah Arendt warned that the marketization of culture leads to its degradation, that this marketization creates a new celebrity class of intellectuals who, although well read and informed themselves, see their role in society as persuading the masses that “Hamlet” can be as entertaining as “The Lion King” and perhaps as educational. “Culture,” she wrote, “is being destroyed in order to yield entertainment.”
“There are many great authors of the past who have survived centuries of oblivion and neglect,” Arendt wrote, “but it is still an open question whether they will be able to survive an entertaining version of what they have to say.”
The change from a print-based to an image-based society has transformed our nation. Huge segments of our population, especially those who live in the embrace of the Christian right and the consumer culture, are completely unmoored from reality. They lack the capacity to search for truth and cope rationally with our mounting social and economic ills. They seek clarity, entertainment and order. They are willing to use force to impose this clarity on others, especially those who do not speak as they speak and think as they think. All the traditional tools of democracies, including dispassionate scientific and historical truth, facts, news and rational debate, are useless instruments in a world that lacks the capacity to use them.
As we descend into a devastating economic crisis, one that Barack Obama cannot halt, there will be tens of millions of Americans who will be ruthlessly thrust aside. As their houses are foreclosed, as their jobs are lost, as they are forced to declare bankruptcy and watch their communities collapse, they will retreat even further into irrational fantasy. They will be led toward glittering and self-destructive illusions by our modern Pied Pipers—our corporate advertisers, our charlatan preachers, our television news celebrities, our self-help gurus, our entertainment industry and our political demagogues—who will offer increasingly absurd forms of escapism.
The core values of our open society, the ability to think for oneself, to draw independent conclusions, to express dissent when judgment and common sense indicate something is wrong, to be self-critical, to challenge authority, to understand historical facts, to separate truth from lies, to advocate for change and to acknowledge that there are other views, different ways of being, that are morally and socially acceptable, are dying. Obama used hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign funds to appeal to and manipulate this illiteracy and irrationalism to his advantage, but these forces will prove to be his most deadly nemesis once they collide with the awful reality that awaits us.

Ways to Stay Healthy with the Recession & Politics & other stresses
I got this letter from Dr. Lark.....good advice!
I have some things to add to it so my additions are in bold.
Dear Donna,
Without a doubt, these tough economic times can have a lot of negative effects on your body and mind, including stress, tension, anxiety, depression, weakened immunity, and illness. You may be nervous about your future because your retirement accounts have lost value. Or maybe you're concerned about your income or job security. Certainly, there are a lot of scenarios that can cause a great deal of heartache and worry right now.
But the more negative things seem to get, the more crucial it becomes to focus on the good in life-such as love, relationships, and even your health. I simply won't let worries about the economy affect my health. While it may seem impossible to stay strong, positive, and healthy during such a difficult time, it is possible-and I am going to tell you the five ways you can do it.
1. Make sure you sleep soundly at night. Anxiety and depression can lead to sleep disturbances, and without enough sleep, your body and immune system can't function properly. To help you relax and fall asleep every night, I recommend taking 1-1.5 mg of melatonin each evening about two hours before bedtime, although you may see results using as little as 300 mcg. I Recommend Dreamaway-email me for more info at
thewaytowellness@gmail.com
2. Boost your energy reserves. If you're feeling sluggish and worn out, there are several nutrients that can boost your energy. I recommend taking 250 mcg of vitamin B12 a day, 250 mg of L-tyrosine a day, and/or 1,000 mg of L-carnitine a day in divided doses. I recommend TruBoost -again email me for more info
3. Build resistance to illness. Stress can lead to weakened immunity, therefore making you vulnerable to colds, sinus infections, the flu, and other illnesses. You are better off boosting your resistance to illness while you're healthy than trying to build it back up when you're sick. I recommend taking a high-quality multinutrient along with mineral-buffered vitamin C (1-2 grams in divided doses). I recommend using silver and Tahebo when you feel something coming on
4. Reduce stress by exercising. Exercise is one of the best ways to reduce stress-not to mention lose weight and improve your overall health. I recommend going for an hour-long walk every day outdoors in the fresh air. While walking, take your mind off your worries and instead, focus on your breathing and enjoy your surroundings.
5. Stay positive. I know that having a positive attitude can be tough, especially when everything you hear in the news is negative. But, keep in mind, maintaining a positive belief system is crucial in creating your own reality, even in the midst of a greater reality like the bad economy. So try to identify at least one positive thing every day-even if it has nothing to do with the economy. You also may want to recite upbeat affirmations to yourself, such as "I am a strong, positive, upbeat woman." In addition, nurture your relationships. Financial security may be important, but love is the true currency that you can depend on each and every day without fail.
I reccomend telling others about the Life Force products for a great thank you check that you can cash!
I hope this information brightens your day. Please e-mail me at letters@drlark.com to let me know what you are doing to cope with the economic recession.

Many blessings to you,

Wow, the summer went by too fast as my homeschool work seemed to never end. My last two appts were on Aug 19 and yesterday, Aug 21 and there is still a possibility of an appt in Sept!
I will not let this happen next year.
I have already set appts for home school testing in Sept, Nov and Dec!
I am working now on LFI more and sharing these wonderful products with others!
I also went to the Rally on July 12
and looking forward to the new movie

school year finished today, ready for "summer"
Wow, my last post was in March and was about a butterfly.
I have another butterfly quote:
'Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.'
I can tell you why I have not written since March. That is because I do evaluations for home
school families here in PA and they are due June 30 to the school districts. Have had appts
for evaluations and WRAT testing since March and it is now the end of July! I have had appointments
in July for those people who did not call in time for an appt prior to June 30 and they had to ask for an extension.
My last two appointments for the 07-08 school year are this morning! It has been months since I looked at this blog.
So, now my summer starts! But, I am thinking it is 2/3 OVER already. I am not sure how to fix this when I want to help the families and there are only so many hours in a day as they say. I hope to start appointments earlier next year.
Anyway, not only evaluations and testing, but the rest of life is packed full too.
Our son graduated from college, got a job, bought a house and moved out! Our daughter was a student ambassador to Australia for 18 days and is getting back tonight. They are settled now so hoping to have a nice R&R at the beach the end of August and some R&R the end of September as well. I guess I still plan a "traditional summer" it is just pushed back on my calendar.
Lots of energy with the wellness products so contact me at
thewaytowellness@gmail.com
Also going to a new chiropractor so that only adds to the great feeling.
Business is good. Life is good.
I need to write next about the Rally in Washington DC on July 12!
that will be the next entry.

Q. What's the one essential quality to a successful relationship that most people overlook?
A. Honesty. I find singles are too forgiving of people who lie to them. They think they won't lie the next time. But liars tend to be liars.

A new adventure on the way to wellness
I am an Independent Distributor for Life Force International. Life Force is an international company with its base in California and provides high impact health products to its members via word of mouth advertising. So, my new adventure is using and sharing these products. I figured a blog would help me keep track of things as they happen, so here is the beginning. I can let you in on what is happening on our health, for both my husband and me, as well as sharing with others.
A bit of history:
The products have been around since 1984 but you could only get them via health care professionals, so if your doctor did not carry these, you most likely never heard of "Doctors Signature". Then in 1996, they started the memberships for those happy customers to allow them to tell others about the products for wellness and health. It is now Life Force International and we call the flagship product Body Balance. It really does put your body in balance for better health. It is nutritionally dense and provides all the nutrients currently know to man in a whole foods liquid that is easily absorbed.
The best part of my business is that you help others! Another big point is that you order from home saving you not only money/gas but also time. Additionally, you get a bigger discount when you order via autoship so that saves even thinking about when to order or when the product will arrive. You can easily modify your order and change it to suit your needs. This is a value added feature for busy people.
Check it out and read all about the entire product line at www.lifeforce.net/20670485
