Citizen G1435-X was brought into a secret conference room in the Department of Re-Education, Special Branch.<\/p>\n<p>His interviewer held the title of Mental Health Representative of the People Level 14, or MHR. This is an excerpt from their conversation:<\/p>\n<p>MHR: Are you aware of the size of the United Europe Government?<\/p>\n<p>Citizen: I know that almost everyone I meet works for the Government in some capacity.<\/p>\n<p>MHR: If you include corporations, which of course are in partnership with Government on many levels, the figure approaches eighty percent of the population.<\/p>\n<p>Citizen: And there are the computers and robots, too.<\/p>\n<p>MHR: The correct name is Machines for the Illumination of Everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Citizen: What do you want from me?<\/p>\n<p>MHR: That\u2019s the whole point.

For convenience sake, an assumption is being made: \u2018I am I and you are you.\u2019 It facilitates this conversation. But in truth, we are one. We are in accord. We know the same knowing.<\/p>\n<p>Citizen: Gibberish.<\/p>\n<p>MHR: It would sound like gibberish to a disaffected part of the whole. A disaffected part, which is \u2018you,\u2019 simply needs to surrender. Then you will cease to be a diseased illusory series of thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Citizen: And this is official Government policy?<\/p>\n<p>MHR: Of course.
