When it comes to Parasitic Mind Control. I always think the Aether is metaphoric story teller.
Korzybski had a lot of influence of William Borroughs. I am assuming you've read "Naked Lunch." Language as a disease is an interesting concept. Another disciple of the Korzybski school, Bandler, the founder of NLP. My fave Korzybski fan: R.A.Wilson🕵🕵🕵
I wouldn't say it's was disease in the first place. Maybe we can compare it with money somewhat. In the beginning it was a useful tool to get things organized and done but after a while it transformed into a powerful tool of restriction and control.
Whatever mindset causes this transformation processes could maybe also end up like epidemic plaques or pandemic diseases.
However... at least it seems to me whenever civilizations or certain groups had developed a too high pleasure standard for themselves that's when some sort of collapse or revolt appears.
You can actually spent your entire life just by analyzing this word: "overseer".
