I begin with an introduction to propaganda.

Frank Wright is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.

I will then speak about

  • The Mass Production of Belief

  • Ways of Seeing

  • Forgetting and Remembrance

  • Institutions and Illusions
