Group minds quite obviously control and pattern the thinking, emotions and behaviors of all human beings, with very rare exceptions.

The original Western example of that was/is of course the "catholic" church which erroneously pretends that it has a "great commission" to convert all of human beings to the "one true faith" (really a belief system) as defined by them. Some right-wing Christians even pretend that its grotesque "magisterium" is binding on all human beings.

The "catholic" church runs the worlds largest (group mind) propaganda machines in electronic , paper paper, and very sold material forms too. Its tentacles reach into almost every village on the planet.

Its solid material forms are parish churches and its world-wide network of "catholic" universities.

At another, but very similar level the principal form of group mind formation and control is of course TV . In any given moment how many people world-wide are tuned into, and thus being brainwashed (zombified) by TV.

We are also trapped and controlled by the Wetiko psychosis which has reached its almost terminal development.

That zombified TV anti-culture is of course completely indifferent and hostile towards life on this planet, both human and non-human.

I confess I am unlikely to take any claims of _current_ Catholic hegemony very seriously, though it's a defensible position historically (but then only up until the Protestant Reformation n'est-ce pas?) And complaining about TV feels several decades too late.

That said I do like reading so I have picked up "Undreaming Wetiko" on Audible. You can be confident that a review of it will appear in this space.
