Propagandanomics: Another side of Marketing - How Kings, Ministers and Programmers do it. Stories with calculations.

By Abdullah Khan

Kings, Ministers and Programmers. A tale of extraordinary happenings in modern and old times that should make difficult ideas stretched on the timeline easy to consume and entertaining at the same time.

Fully hand-made, this book explores some insane and some realistic ideas often with positive outcome for the initiator.

A collection of multiple short stories, this book depicts how human minds are culpable and gullible that any cunning minister with a smirk on his face can pull the rug that's beneath the public while keeping a poker face like nothing happened.

What's so special about this book?

What's special is that more is said in fewer words that you will be able to give your brain a full dose in a short span of time. Another special thing is this book contains calculations that shows how some propaganda makes financial sense and the number of people who are persuaded to like something or take action that you want them to take.

I think the calculations here makes you grasp the ideas like any king, political candidates or public relations expert. It's like pulling strings of the masses and getting a desired result.

Is minister in a pickle? What does king thinks about his nation? How to take your new brand off the ground among scavengers without hurting your pocket? This and many such stories with calculations are provided in this book.

How Propaganda affects you and the masses?

Next time you are sipping on your favourite drink, this though might appear in your mind that Why this Drink? Why not something else?

You, I and many are indeed same, and only a good mind can think of this question. This question is not menial. 

How did something get into a shape where you sip on specific drink or have formulated a state of mind, could it be different?

How many realities exist behind, below, up, left and right? 

Have you imagined, that, next time you are watching your favourite sports game, just imagine how many millions of individuals are engaged in the same activity at the same time, some watching with no transactional value yet more engaged then someone who have something transactional to do with it, or someone who is more spiritual and noticing something else except the sports throughout the game trying to figure out what could be in future about something else that has nothing to do with the sports but rather the global village we call earth and deeper impact of more profound things. 

Nothing is there, except, scaling down, from top to bottom, the millions of scalable possibilities, with same or not same yet depicting same principles, structure, and patters. Size and variation of same but appear differently to human perception. 

If you can decrypt every perception, slowly, those millions of baskets that general human eye, or a regular civilian so to speak cannot comprehend, these baskets get fewer and fewer, each time as you reduce the baskets, you unfold other parallel layers of reality that were hidden behind many curtains that normal human being cannot lift up and see the hidden intricacies of the same society and nature that is now exposing itself to you. 

Yet, you gain that perception, but you will not call yourself, a mystic, you are just a humble being. This is for the people who will call you that, as for them they cannot come near the happenings or occurrences that you surround yourself with or gather the data in blink of an eye, countless yet few that you read the perception, including but not limited to, symbols, gesture, micro gesture, small sound somewhere outside yet audible to you but not to others; this turns you into someone who knows without knowing and people call you a mystic that you know too much yet you are worried that people will not understand the actual reality. 

Sometimes, unknowingly, the matter seems enjoyable and important to you, the people gather around you as you sound wiser than someone else around them no matter how rich they are.

Coming across the principles, this is what can be said about the perception of the common public that they cannot grasp.

The more you hear you become deaf.

The more you watch you become blind.

The notion above, about you, being able to reduce the millions of information baskets into countable few, consuming the same information like any regular person yet concluding different facts; you shall understand what is being said here.

Now, without getting into the bias such as too much information bias, or too less information bias, one thing is clear; some books can be summed up in a sentence, and 1 sentence can be summed up in a book. 

What’s the better deal here? Yes, knowing a sentence instead of a book. Who will spend 5 days reading a book when they already know it through a sentence? 

If someone follows 1000 of those sentences instead of 50 books, the one within 1000 of such sentences will turn out to be more valuable. 

How, you may ask? Because, those people also contain within themselves structured thinking, where they see someone or something and analyze the whole process to deconstruct or build something; it doesn’t take a book for them to read, yes, sometimes, but not always, especially with spontaneous tasks.

Let’s stay clear of any biases. Like Gen Z says IYKYK (If you know you know).

From the top, till the bottom, it's just communication, misunderstood or not, it's just communication.

How to read this book?

This book contains text in variety, sometimes it looks like a novel, and sometimes depicts as DIY. 

Really, this book is like a walk around the city.

My understanding is that every time you will read this book you will find something different or a unique thing will pop up into your mind with every reading.

I’ll try to add calculation at the end of every chapter so you can get more quantitative understanding.

Hope you enjoy reading.

Dangers and Blessings

Like everything has pros and cons, likewise the act of propaganda works in a similar way. It can be used for good or not so much.

If there's something in a society that is not liked by the people themselves then someone with intellectual acumen and power can correct this through the use of propaganda device and communication.

As usual, the application finds its way into not so kind matters.

One thing to notice here is that good mostly spreads without noticing by individuals or parties engaged so the act is seldomly organized, planned or meticulously thought out before the action.

Yes, some people do try to commercialize that aspect of human passion, devotion, kindness and happiness. Social media is an example where people organize such acts to collect something of monetary nature. 

But overall, kindness usually finds its way with simple act of kindness that people remember and turn into tradition or consider just an act of good nature.

There's a saying that if you are on a path of revenge with your nemesis then dig two Graves.

Basically Communication, to few or to many.

When you watch a movie, or your favourite prime time show, have you ever thought who is the primary audience of that. Is it only you watching the show sipping your drink and talking about menial things that have no good
