THE ANATOMY OF FEAR
Man’s tools are merely a magnification of human identity. Society designs, builds, manufactures and distributes a manifestation of its human projection. Technology, the extension of the human hand, realizes the nature of ambition. “the great cry that rises from all our manufacturing cities, louder than their furnace blast, is …that we manufacture everything there except man; we blanch cotton, strengthen steel, refine sugar, and shape pottery; but to brighten, strengthen, refine, or to form a single living spirit, never enters into our estimate of advantages…men can neither drink steam nor eat stone.” John Ruskin. Ideals of conformity and social norms are enforced via imagery and presentation of iconic objects. What one must question is the systemic manipulation of control driving the need for power and oppression. This is the Anatomy of fear.
