ABSTRACT
The onset of psychology in the world of managerial culture has introduced a new style in programing which is referred to as “neuro-linguistics”; and it is popular enough to be seen to be replacing previous techniques called “psychometric testing” and “mind-mapping” in the education of capitalism’s cadres. Journalism, in its helplessness, has been reduced to making futile little jokes about how badly everyone else is writing. One critic on a mainstream newspaper, weary at finding all the jokes “wearing thin,” confessed after a performance of the Reduced Shakespeare Company of their version of the Bible that what kept him going through all the silly, scornful mockery was “a high dumb-down tolerance.” In any event, what a “new generation of satellite-empowered psychologists” have come up with is the effective shadow should study what could be described as the chairman’s nonverbal communications: the width of his pin-stripe, his preferred lunch venues.
