Am I blind, or is there no actual link anywhere in this entry?

No link. Sorry. I should have filed that one under "notes to self." There's story potential in there *somewhere*; I'm just not quite sure where to begin.

The Jungian thing?

Jung, yes, but not just that. Gaining some control of a media organ is a good start.

Perhaps sociological structure-hitters*, people who can study the patterns of information flow, the reactions of large chunks of populations to memetic phenomena and come up with ways to make them act in specific ways.

Look up the standalone complex scenario from the Ghost in the Shell tv series. That would be a decent starting point.
