Why do you believe what you believe? Some people have a really solid
answer to that question, but much of the population never thinks much
about deeper questions such as this. In fact, for most Americans it is
simply easier to let others do their thinking for them. Today, most of
us spend multiple hours each day absorbing information through a screen,
and most of the content that is fed to us through our televisions,
phones, tablets and computers is controlled by the elite. And if you
allow anyone to feed information into your mind for several hours every
day, it is going to have a dramatic impact on how you view the world.
When I was younger, one of my favorite movies was “The Matrix”, and I
think that it is a really good metaphor for what is going on in our
society today. In the film, nearly the entire human population was
plugged into a system which continuously fed a computer-generated
reality into their minds that wasn’t real at all. Later on, I
eventually came to realize that we are willingly doing the same thing to
ourselves. Our personal interactions with one another are extremely
limited, but we willingly “plug in” to the enormous matrix of news,
information and entertainment that the elite have constructed for many
hours each day.
According to numbers that were released earlier this year, the average American spends more than three hours watching television and more than three hours on mobile devices every single day…
And perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad if we were feeding our minds healthy things, but instead most of what we are absorbing is garbage that has been produced by the elite. More..
