pretty much ever since radio broadcasts were popularized, there have been great strides made in utilizing these new technologies to influence the consumers' behavior and cognition. Once TV was introduced, they knew they had us. Entire generations of humans live their lives in imitation of what they see on tv and listen to for entertainment. And now we have interactive games, and soon 'virtual reality' will be commonplace in households.

I really don't even know where I am going with this, I am on pain medication right now heh. I believe that a lot of mental illnesses are at least exacerbated, by the jarring effects of some of these 'alternate realities' that our minds tend to dwell in. I may type more later.

I use to think this too, but I've got some hesitations about it now.

Humans create culture themselves. Even before television- art, theater, music, dance, and other forms of human expression shaped societies. We saw it during the enlightenment period and the renaissance period. Hell, even the Egyptians had culture.

The only difference now is that TV exposes humans to various cultural behaviors and expressions. It may seem like humans are too dumb to think for themselves, which at times may be the case, and therefore emulate what they see, but that's existed for centuries; just look at religion. Humans adopted it, shaped their lives based on words, and spread it all around the world.

TV is a tool, but our willingness to find something on it that resonates in us is the culprit.

I'm not debating the use of propaganda and the negative effect that has on us. That shit is evil. But we willfully eat it up rather than shun it.

its not the expression of culture that gets us, it's the 'advertising' and propagandizing that happens between the lines.

Superfakes - The Era of Hyper-Reality in Crisis Events is Coming

IF you watch this with the sound turned off it's basically the nightly news. Amazing.

I wonder if there's a CNN, FoxNews, or BBC template we could add to it.

You can't reach the masses.

What you can do is keep asking questions. Ask for explanations. Distance yourself from the term "conspiracy theory" because the government is selling some theories too, they are playing both sides, to make anyone questioning the original narrative out to be a crazy tin foil hat wearing theoririst.

If you keep asking questions, and keep questioning these "official stories" that have more holes in them then swiss cheese, others might start to question them too.

The answers are out there, but the general public is not ready to ask the question.

You cannot prepare them for the answers. You can only guide them to asking the questions for themselves, so that they seek out the answers for themselves.

This is how revolutions start.

I ask you, "what is the sound of one hand clapping"

You may not care to know the answer. But If I keep asking you, eventually, something in your brain will click.

What is the sound of one hand clapping

Only when you decide you need to know for yourself will the answer really matter.

Trooth.

Agreed - life exists on a broad spectrum, from Real to Simulated.

Real, for me, means the very essence of what it means to be alive. It's the stuff you are in tune with as a child: love, growth, meaning, connection with nature, meaningful relationships, self-actualization, creativity, family, adventure, and the courage to try new things and push back against evil (or unconsciousness.)

As we grow up, however, a bunch of crap happens and our awareness starts to narrow. We don't have the courage or energy to follow our path with a heart, and thus write off many of the concepts listed above as 'unrealistic.' This seems rational, but it's really just fear. We still need love, connection, meaning, etc. but don't know how to go about getting it, so we turn to simulations of these essential parts of life.

Instead of forming deeply meaningful relationships, we watch Friends on television.

We watch action/adventure movies instead of going on adventures in real life.

Instead of becoming archetypal warriors and entering the arena of Good vs. Evil for real, we watch simulated combat called sports.

Instead of making learning a life-long quest that is different for every body, we point at our college diploma and declare we are now 'educated.'

The masses do not act. They are passive; they watch. They sit down at work, sit down at sporting events, and sit down to watch television. They are spectators who watch other people do things.

They satisfy their drives with simulations that are one-step removed from reality. Getting girls is hard, so we watch porn. Going to war (either literally or in the realm of ideas, etc.) is scary so we watch sports. Living life to the fullest in your 20s is difficult so we watch Friends. Finding a purpose in life is challenging so we make careers a surrogate purpose. I could go on forever.

The point is, you ultimately lose if you base your life on simulations. You are being fake, and deep down you know this. You lose vitality and passion. Life becomes dull.

Just look around. Everyone is on the spectrum from Real to less Real. Some people spend this life as warriors, defending their people and values to the death (read about Sitting Bull, for instance), while others watch reality television, eat shit food, and complain about their jobs for decades.

Be real. Be Tupac Shakur. Or Theodore Roosevelt. Or Bob Marley. Stop watching and start acting. Make your own rules and your own values. Create your own empire.

I've watched it numerous times. Strange movie if you don't know of what the point of it is.

The speech at the end is absolutely right. We are living in an illusion, and you must break free.

I'm reminded of Alejandro Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain. Have you seen it?

Haven't seen it, but just looked it up and it looks right down my alley.

Tyler Durden: Do you know what a duvet is?

Narrator: It's a comforter...

Tyler Durden: It's a blanket. Just a blanket. Now why do guys like you and me know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word? No. What are we then?

Narrator: ...Consumers?

Tyler Durden: Right. We are consumers. We're the by-products of a lifestyle obsession.

My time has come.

the masses have to realize they're mind controlled, they have to break the "spell" themselves; wake up to that fact.

maybe start with (literally) not drinking the water & other fluoridated drinks, not eating so much junk foods, stop watching so much junk tv; good luck with that.

1. Understand the structure of reality.
2. Create 'said' reality.
3. ????????
4. Conscious immortality.

But seriously, memes would be a good way to reach people. Most individuals who are not red pilled, do not want to be, therefore, give them information that red pills them without their awareness.

The energy of enough people could potentially bring about any reality. That's how all of those false flags worked.

Hey, somebody else made up a buzz word. Let's all use it and pretend it means something.
