[Wealth Bondage]: On Political Visuals and the Decay of Lying

Teach critical thinking, and teach with caricature, simple images, paradox, soundbite-style aphorisms, kitschy images in the vocabulary of popular culture, rely on disjunction, force thought into the tiniest crevice in the closed mind. Force two disjunctive thoughts into the Consumer Mind and watch the little machine tear itself to pieces. Two slighty disjunctive images are how three dimensions are created from flat pictures. A third dimension is one two many for most Americans.

Is it any wonder that 'critical thinking' in education has long been under attack?
