    That’s what they’ve been indoctrinated to believe, and most people never question this controlling system that demands low-level thinking, or any of the others. They just want to fit in and go with the flow, and thinking is too hard so they want catchphrases to obliviously go through life thinking they are the chosen ones, special, etc. It’s the same difference between authoritarian politics and progressive. One demands obedience to supernatural or other unproven things and the other follows the evidence of what helps humanity, reduce suffering for the most in data backed ways. We update information as we discover new things.

    The truth will set us free, if enough would believe it. We’re all waves of one ocean, made of stardust, the cosmos observing itself, DNA that survived all the extinction events to have this level of awareness and technology, but might cause its own extinction, or at least for billions of people born in the wrong places and w/o enough wealth. The controlling systems won’t give up their wealth and power, they’ve had it since the first supernatural stories were used by them and they worked so well, still used today to control the masses.



  • What’s so unhealthy is that none of it is a rock, but the very sand they warn about, how convenient, projection been going on a long time! Same with all the other supernatural systems that preceded it by thousands of years and that came after. It’s a compilation of what worked best for men in power to keep it, and supernatural stories controlled people better than force alone.

    Other tricks they use to keep people hooked, indoctrinate from birth, offer belonging*, simplify thinking with phrases to repeat, must say/think the right words for alleged, but no proof of later reward, fear/reward cycle, cortisol, dopamine, oxytocin, guilt/shame/blame and they are the only one that can fix it, how convenient! It’s been used for so long most think it’s good to not have healthy skepticism and encourage curiosity and growth, transcend the ego control. Real truth sets us free from the low-level thinking and high-control and associated unhealthy ways. Big claims require big proof as Sagan said. We are waves of one ocean made of stardust, the cosmos observing itself, for this short time, nothing after, nothing to balance the ledger of suffering now.

  • What a deplorably designed country that one person can do all this wasteful stuff. Way more wasted by this party than the fraud they like to point out in some places, and no peep on where it’s actually worse. It’s one part of the low-level thinking that high-control groups enforce, to keep people from asking questions and finding the evidence. For example that all the other rich countries pay much less for healthcare with better outcomes, get better worker benefits and satisfaction and all that makes healthier people than the usa system. It shows that they don’t want that for everyone, just them and theirs, the selfish tradition is strong!



  • Quite a campaign to quietly install these all over the country, use free pilot programs, kept the cost low enough to not need city council vote after public discussions and hide in tech costs, so the fuss happens after they wasted all this money. Talk about fraud and scamming the public out of tax money, and used against the public and w/o our actual consent. They’re supposed to serve and work for We The People, but used multiple methods to lie and hide it from us. Doing the wrong thing has to be hidden, not honest things.



  • True, economy recovered better than most after pandemic, as companies price gouged, people bought the propaganda and blamed Dems. And they will elect a maga majority again after a short Dem period, where they can’t fix it all quickly enough for them. Real progress can’t be made, and any good legislation gets blocked or repealed in a few years by maga, destruction is much faster than building good things, and the wealthy keep taking more.


  • More info: The “frazzled” state you describe is literally chronic cortisol dysregulation — the body’s stress response stuck on. Research confirms this drives insulin resistance, visceral fat accumulation, arterial stiffness, immune suppression, gut dysbiosis, and prefrontal cortex damage (impaired planning, impulse control). When someone says “I just can’t get my health together,” the framework gives them a different explanation: you’re running a fight-or-flight response 16 hours a day because the system is designed to keep you in survival mode. That reframe reduces shame and opens the door to action.


  • Hoarding wasn’t allowed at one time, in <150 person groups, then came the ever increasing wealth and power inequalities, and the supernatural stories to justify their power, justify the suffering now for later reward and easier than brute force. It’s the same systems and people protecting their wealth and keep the majority in artificial scarcity, so they feel frazzled and not much time to ponder these truths, and decide how they want to go forward, keep the indoctrination of the systems or pull back the curtain?


  • Language is the framework of thought. By controlling, twisting, and restricting vocabulary, high-control systems directly restrict what people are capable of thinking. High-control systems maintain power by manipulating fundamental human biology, cognitive architecture, and language. They actively work against societal advancement because their primary goal is self-preservation and the consolidation of status. High-control systems shut down critical analysis, nuance, and long-term planning, trapping individuals in primitive, survival-driven cognitive states.

  • If you look at the Dem platform, what they accomplish in some states with enough majority, and federal laws that the majority still likes today, it’s confounding they lose so much. They rarely have enough federal majority for long enough to make the changes, or laws are repealed a few years later when maga wins again and destroy progress.

    Yes, Dems support equality for all, so for too many people that overrides all the other stuff they do agree with. They absorb the propaganda from their media, use cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, identity fusion, dehumanize victims and scapegoat to ignore the data of what really helps human health. Stop the regression in quality of life metrics caused by the unhealthy maga policies. Use Sagan’s baloney detection kit to understand what policies help the most people for the least cost and improves societies overall. Raise all boats is the answer!
