"Whenever I hear the word private, or privatization, or private property," said Steve, "spoken in any context, I see behind the words a world driven by isolation, confinement, stealing - a fractured world mired in poverty and war and death, interrupted only by still darker periods of chaos of the kind we had just experienced when the world-financial system disintegrated. When I hear the word privatization I see the opposite to universal principle. I see a dark scene of a deep reaching defeat of humanity that will not end for as long as the words private, privatization, or private property remain to be a part of the human language. Privatization is a denial of the principle of good, which is a universal principle. The outcome of this principle in which all true good is rooted must therefore be manifest universally. It cannot be divided. Humanity's attempt to divide it is like spitting into the face of God. The end result is that society is being looted into poverty in every respect. The denial of the principle of universal good is self-denial. Unfortunately, that is what we are doing in a very big way."
Steve laughed at this point. "Isn't it amazing how similar the words property and poverty are in sphere of language and in the sphere of the real world? And so they should be, since they are synonymous in humanist terms. Privatization is a process that functions like a black hole in space in humanist terms," said Steve.
He turned to Ross. "I heard that you have made a speech about the black hole phenomenon as a process," he said. "That's how privatization works. It diminishes everything. Its gravity draws everything unto itself and crushes it until it becomes very small and implodes, and ceases to exist. Th gravity in a black hole has become so dense, and is so powerfully contracting, that nothing can escape from it, not even a single ray of light. That's how privatization functions. That's what Pete experienced when he couldn't respond to Helen sexually. It's the same process that is involved, and it's happening almost universally in the mental realm as well, and in the political, economic, and social realm."
Tony shook his head and smiled.
"Of course you know all that," said Steve, "but it is useful to be reminded of it now and then, especially when it comes to the privatization of society's mentality, its consciousness, which is happening constantly and deeply and is almost totally complete, which is being carried out on an unimaginably wide and nearly global scale."
"What do you mean?" asked Ross.
Steve turned me, "You tell him. Do you remember what we discovered that day on the plane when we were leaving Venice after our disaster there?"
I nodded slightly and turned to Ross. "The consciousness of an individual is normally sovereign," I said to Ross, "but society can be denied that sovereignty by subjecting it to a massive targeted mental manipulation, a kind of invasion, that acts like a black hole and draws away a person's humanity. Just look at the scene in the Lord of the Rings movie in which Theoden, the king of Rohan appears, who has been totally robbed of his humanity by the agent of mental privatization named Grima Wormtonge. Just look at Theoden's face, I'm sure you remember it. I know you have seen the movie. As far as I remember Theoden's face looks like the face of the living dead. His humanity had been taken from him. His entire life has been privatized. He is totally owned by the corrupted wizard Saruman, who owns him by way of the Grima Wormtonge process. That's the kind of privatization that is going on in the world on an almost universal scale, and especially strongly in the sexual domain."
"You mean public opinion?" said Tony in a questioning tone of voice. "Everybody knows that public opinion is being manipulated. Tell us something we don't know."
