-
Have you ever felt manipulated at a meeting, but you can’t put your finger on how?
-
Have you ever been asked to compromise your beliefs for the sake of the group?
-
Are you frustrated with the modern trend to discard facts, logic, and truth for the sake of personal experience, feelings, and moral relativism?
-
Does political correctness bother you on a deep level?
If so, you need to attend this conference.
You have encountered DiaPrax.
A slow process of change has been taking place in our society. How our culture appears to function bears little resemblance to how it functions in reality. DiaPrax, at its core, is seduction, deception, and ultimately manipulation.
Known by other names, (General Systems Theory,
the Delphi Technique, consensus, Hegelian dialectic) DiaPrax has
been slowly changing the way Americans think from the way we used to
think a few generations ago. From education and psychology to
the workplace, from community programs to politics, from
“conservative” Christianity to “liberal” theology, Diaprax is
everywhere. If you don’t know how it works and how to counter
it, you will fall victim to it.
It is hard to pinpoint, but
the evidence is plain if you know how the dots connect to form the
pattern. The expert panel of speakers will connect those dots
in many spheres of influence so you can see the pattern for
yourself.
