Various intellectuals from the fields of social sciences, humanities, engineering and physics collaborated in an attempt to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eilluminate ways our present society, its citizens, and institutions have been shaped by the underlying myths and images of the past and present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWithin the three hundred page report, the researchers at SRI identified seven different functions of society in which the power of images could be used to acquiesce the population into a state of subservience. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese functions were mainly derived from Joseph Campbell's previous work on mythology and his knowledge of past civilizations.

While the researchers found the mystical and magical functions to be largely ineffective due to the public's inability to consider the former anything more than superstition, and the latter to be negatively associated with the diminishing power of the church, they did find the other functions worthy of further development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe research staff at SRI left no stone unturned in their search for ways to inculcate the masses, even considering the viability of telekinesis, bio feedback, telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, hypnosis, subliminal messaging, hallucinogenics and psychotropic drugs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is undeniable that prescription drug use exploded in the years immediately following Stanford's report, resulting in some unintended consequences; and these consequences are further being substantiated by an ever growing mountain of corroborating statistical evidence.
