Talk:Mesmerization

Cut nonsense
I removed this nonsense, it is breaking the NPOV and basic sanity check:


 * Mesmerization refers to a state of collective obedience and faith to codes of behavior that have been brought about by the worldwide dominance of the western media and its lifestyle values, made ubiquitous by the potency of its cultural and commercial memes.


 * These influences control the motivational drivers underpinning the global psyche. Together with the concept of Globalization, Mesmerization sits at the heart of our current dilemmas; social unrest, inequality, poverty and the threat of climate change.


 * The term, Mesmerization, was first used by the writer, Gee Thomson, in the book, 'Mesmerization', 'The Visual Spells that control behavior'.

Redirect
I've redirected to animal magnetism, which is what Mesmer called it. Besides, the correct noun form is mesmerism. "Re-nouning" the verb mesmerize is superfluous. --Tysto 02:26, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
