Social policy in culture? Those are two *distinct* things
Sure, they can impact one another
Crossover is key
But a culture does not have social policy
Look what Freud’s nephew did 😉
Yes it does if you have the long march through the institutions
I am enjoying watching this trainwreck of a conversation unfold
keep going
It’s nearly there
what is social policy?
ONWARD AND UPWARD WE GOOOOOOO!
Immigration/education/healthcare
But it basically crosses over throughout
aren't they political policies?
or governmental or something
Since WW2 we have social welfare
social welfare policy then
Social engineering, if you like
social welfare and social engineering are fairly far removed from each other.
Nope
I mean, yes. social engineering would be like pretending to be a doctor to get laid.
Lol
or befriending someone and asking them questions that reveal personal information for passwords and so forth
Sounds about right
Ok so it sounds like Edward Bernays (Freud's nephew) just learned how to advertise successfully
Yes
social welfare is just a political standpoint not really social engineering
It was a prototype experiment
I don't see how this relates to your long convoluted thread involving cultural Marxism and Nikola Tesla
It has been Co-opted
I'd hardly call it an experiment he just made people think stuff was fashionable, or healthy, or scary, even if it wasn't
That's just advertising
yea that's nothing to do with social welfare. social engineering is personal manipulation, it isn't about engineering society contrary to it's fairly misdirecting name.
Any relevant advances get Co-opted into the mission
It's perhaps immoral but it's fairly obvious
Call it what you will
advertising? influencing, things like that?
Propaganda
It's not like our minds are literally being "hacked" (I say this in a colloquial way) to do X entity's bidding
ok yea that's a good term then
