Secret Societies
Secret Society perhaps exists as a hidden group of people whose identity in relation to the group is concealed. One of the popular culture that is well known is the ILLUMINATI. “The great strength of our Order lies in its concealment, let it never appear, in any place in its own name, but always covered by another name, and another occupation. None is fitter than the three lower degrees of Freemasonry; the public is accustomed to it, expects little from it, and therefore takes little notice of it.”
It is believed that the ILLUMINATI use mediums such as dance music to get popular and gain their support through this medium and slowly influence the mindset of the majority people in an indirect manner.
The idea that a secret society is formed speaks of concealment and hidden identity, it is believed that strongest way of influencing lies in the concealment as if kept away from anybody and spreading the influence under another name or identity is the most efficient way of indoctrinating people.
How the idea of forming Secret Societies is relate to game design:
Concealment, sometimes in our games it can indirectly change a person way of thinking through by playing games, sometimes we ourselves are influence by the outside world so much that we ourselves also end up creating a game that maybe a continuation of someone’s else of spreading certain hidden message from our game. Perhaps one should at our own game that is created really think through what reflects to our current world?
