This article could have been interesting. However, I think it has little to do with its premise. It tries to link the experiencing self (the self that is here right now) and the narrating self (the self that creates memories and alters them) to the way lies and illusions are used for political purposes. Yes, you can, at best, compare the manipulation of masses to the manipulation that one's self commits against himself or herself. However, what does that say about the phenomenon itself?
