"One does not need to be a conspiracy theorist to recognise, with Foucault,
that power shapes knowledge. If profits and economic growth are the benchmarks
of success in a society, it simply may not be profitable to expose a society as
insane, and even members of an insane society may sooner choose wilful
blindness than look too deeply into the subconscious of their own culture."
