If you were watching a TV series about the pandemic lockdown we are currently suffering through, you might look at it as a phantasmagorical kind of thing. "Oh, that could never happen," you might think. "It's too much."
And, of course, they do magnify and dramatize events for dramatic purposes in those series. Real-life dystopia proceeds more glacially.
But we're seeing the elements - neighbours peering through curtains, dissenting views being cancelled, and, most chillingly, dutiful acquiescence of the good people, something Martin Luther King warned us about.
Now this is not to denigrate in any way the "make the best of it" spirit that many display during these pandemic times, but it is perhaps an admonition to keep your eyes open while you're preparing that soothing cup of tea.
Perhaps it's never been more essential for Norberto Keppe's incisive science of psycho-socio pathology to be studied and understood, and we'll certainly employ that disinverted scientific view to our topic today.
