The Game is a Gigantic Trance
As mentioned in book one in order for the game to work it needs to be concealed. A mechanism employed to achieve this result is what Plato referred to as a noble lie. Is a settlement which induces everyone in the society to believe that the social order, the laws, the caste system, the customs are all divinely ordained to be so.

As mentioned in book one in order for the game to work it needs to be concealed. A mechanism employed to achieve this result is what Plato referred to as a noble lie. Is a settlement which induces everyone in the society to believe that the social order, the laws, the caste system, the customs are all divinely ordained to be so. The Middle Ages this was done by teaching the people that the tamed ruled the population by divine right in. Therefore, to go against the King’s wishes, or his judgments, was tantamount to going against God himself. Defying authority was not only regarded as treason but as sacrilege. In the home this translates to father knows best. On the American dollar can read the inscription in god we trust?
Now the question remains as to how this myth can be sold to the entire population in other words how can you ensure that your fool all the people all the time? If you try to sell it by appealing to reason, some might buy in, but others will not. Also even those who are gullible enough to fall for the ruse will not stay fooled forever. So then how can people be made to wholeheartedly except the noble lie and then regardless of what happens stay faithful? There’s only one way: hypnosis!
If the people need to be entranced, brain watched, so thoroughly that becomes part of who they are and is simply seen as the way it is. Current example of this Barrett the phenomenon is the big risk, almost hysterical, debate over Medicare medical reform in the United States. The Unites states is a democracy that a lot each individual man and woman happened equal vote in deciding the destiny of the nation. the vast majority of the population stand to benefit from the socialization of medicine. Over 30,000,000 people are currently without coverage of any kind. Almost half the bankruptcies in the country are related to the inability to pay medical costs there is a mountain of documented evidence supporting the fact that the HMO and drug companies are in collusion of is that there is not only corrupt but extremely inefficient as well.
Yet, despite this, the president is going to have an uphill battle to get the law passed. Even if he is successful in passing some sort of legislation, by the time it goes through both the Congress and the senate it also be so diluted, that it will lack the essence which was needed to make it work. Therefore in the long run, the likelihood of the entire process them into a positive conclusion with universal Health Care provided to everyone in the United States is extremely low.
