And what he said

"Self censorship occurs when individuals become so deeply indoctrinated by the messages of mainstream media that they are afraid to discuss any information outside the paradigm of mainstream media created culture. They police their own thoughts to ensure they won't conflict with this culture. Any conflicting thoughts or beliefs can then be summarily discarded and dismissed without considering relevant facts or evidence.
Today many people's reality does not allow any information outside that of the mainstream media to be processed, instead it's written off as conspiracy theory or blatant lies. Our consciousness seems to have to deteriorated to the extent that we have allowed fiction to become reality."
