Topic: Externalization Of Power

Lennon Honor defines "government" as literally translating to "mind control," deriving from the words "govern" (to rule) and "menti" (mind). He argues that political leaders like Barack Obama are merely actors reading scripts on a "global motion picture stage." According to Honor, people only believe in the necessity of government because they have been traumatized into a state of fear where they feel the need to externalize their power to a savior figure.
