English term or phrase: mind-deadening
In this context, it is almost unbearable to hear the shallow, mind-deadening "debate" between Democrats and Republicans about "how to handle" Iraq, not to mention the infrastructure of organized theft that transfers trillions of dollars from South to North, from workers to capital, from poor to rich, from brown to white.

ανεγκέφαλος


Explanation:
Mind deadening=που σε αποβλακώνει, που σε χαζεύει.

Σε πιο ελεύθερη μετάφραση και γι' αυτή την περίπτωση, θα μπορούσαμε να πούμε "ανεγκέφαλος".

neutral  d_vachliot (X): "Αποβλακωτικό" ή "αποχαυνωτικό" debate δεν ακούγεται καλά στα Ελληνικά και γι' αυτό δεν το πρότεινα εξαρχής, παρόλο που διευκρίνησα ότι mind-deadening είναι αυτό που σε αποβλακώνει./Είναι too literal. Καλημέρα!
3 hrs
  -> η έννοια είναι όντως αυτό που σε αποβλακώνει όπως ανέφερες και οι δύο εναλλακτικές είναι εξίσου καλές, εύηχες και ταιριάζουν. Καλημέρα σε όλους!
