David, my studies of the cognitive sciences are incomplete, but they are complete enough to recognize what you postulate as dictatorship and totalitarianism of the worst sort, possibly beyond anything envisioned by Orwell. Quite literally, they would be dictating our attitudes, behaviors and actions subliminally outside our awareness. If they achieve functionality at that level, we are theirs, and/or we have no choice but to dismantle the machinery, and/or strengthen our own minds to be able (if possible) to withstand the onslaught.
I am in league with those who think this particular topic/threat/antidote to be of the highest priority.
