Due to civilization, specialization of scientists has become the condition for development. An increasingly narrow scope of intellectual work causes people to gradually lose touch with remaining areas of science and consequently lose the skill to interpret the universe holistically.

Mass communication as a tool in the hands of the dominating system is perfect for the artificially generated and infinitely copied images which only imitate reality. Our imagery becomes more perfect than the original, which leads to replacing reality with fragmented images and false pictures, which we consider the only true and authentic ones.
