Are there any books (preferably non-fiction but at least explicitly rhetorical) that approach the issue of information as a contaminant? The idea of certain media permanently and irreparably damaging your mind?

hehe taking the redpill really is like coming out of Plato's cave.
Women and liberals will never understand memes like we do

Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure ideology
Yeah, it's an interesting subject. Thanks to 4chan I've discovered insecurities I didn't even know I ever had. Never been as self-conscious.
It has also made me paranoid about things I never considered. For example sharing washing machines. Or eating things in general.

I got it from /his/ for one thing. I dont know, you are kind of an idiot if you think MSM is a great source of information.
>>8701248
I am a free-thinker.
I only use /pol/, info wars, daily stormer, Breitbart, Fox News, stormfront, and Alex Jones

This is difficult to sing, if you wanted it to match the melody. In the original the long vowel/note goes like this
>of pure imaginaaation
but in yours it would be
>of pure ideolooogy
Unless you shorten each syllable to the same length, but it still sounds funny.
And I know that's hopelessly off topic, sorry.

Can we stop focussing on the pic guys. This was just the first thing on my phone that was appropriate. Keep in mind two things
>its mostly just humorous
>there is more diversity of opinion than MSM will ever offer
Boy, dozens, in various genres, to various degrees, from various perspectives.
Doctor Fromm entertains the dangers of...how to put this... "wrong learning" frequently in serious manner;
Aldous Huxley deals with it in several of his books in a way of intellectualizing fiction and then more "straightforwardly" in Brave New World Revisited and then there was one of his essays in which he entertained the idea of language being a by-product of symbols originally invented by the memory apparatus, awfully flawed because it was simply never meant to be used in the way that we use it nowadays ("naturally", mind would invent symbols to preserve a perception; nowadays, in his opinion, we spur words out of thin air and out of the force of habit assume that there is a corresponding reality to match them... it was more complex than that, of course, but for that, you'll have to get it from the horse's mouth itself).
For a different approach entirely, I should recommend Anthony De Mello's "Awareness", available both as a book and as audio.
De Mello is a priest turned psychologist turned... bodhisattva?
Anyway his way of looking at things differs significantly from the other two fellows.
I'm certain that if you follow up on those leads, you're bound to turn up more '60-'90 psychologists dealing with this, though it's hard to guess whether it will be to your liking; I mean, there's a whole bunch of ways to look at information as harmful. Is it just specific information? Or is it a combination of specific combination with specific persons that does harm? Etc. etc.
Oh. And then there's always Philip K. Dick, forever dancing on that edge between literature and fiction, driving you utterly mad. Thought provoking, but can also become very unsettling.

Read this in come back here after to weeks and you'll have the answer.

It's obviously a reference to Zizek's mispronounciation of English words.
Prometheus Rising is a fun ride that you might be interested in.
