Let's dive into each and understand how you can unplug from the system.
You think you have free will in your life, but
You've been programmed from birth.
Let me help you to unplug:
• Intergenerational trauma
• Evolutionary psychology
• Childhood conditioning
• Social media and news
• Marketing and sales
• School and Gov't
Let's dive into each and understand how you can unplug from the system.
There is growing evidence trauma can be passed on to our children.
Trauma and its negative impacts are well documented, but we don't know how it's transferred. Are you:
• impacted by genetics
• your parent's behaviors
As humans have evolved, our bodies have physically adapted to survive.
Evolutionary psychologists argue that our cognitive and emotional systems have also adapted.
This may explain why we share the same mental biases.
As children, we experience trauma.
Whether it's significant trauma or not, we learn to cope.
The coping mechanisms you used as a child served to protect you.
The problem is that they were never shut off and are still being "triggered" today.
You are conditioned by what you see on TV or on your cell phone.
Whether you're scrolling Instagram or you're watching the news.
Most programming today comes at you through an echo chamber, which pushes you further down a rabbit hole of:
Us vs Them
Whether it's Nike, McDonald's, or any other company, they know more about psychology than you do.
They know how to attract you with:
• visuals
• colors
• smells
• taste
They appeal to psychological senses you aren't even aware are being triggered.
In childhood, school teaches you how to behave.
Initially, they were meant to teach you to be a good factory worker.
Today, they're meant to teach you to be a good office worker.
The government tells you how to think and behave, and most of you listen.
If you want to unplug yourself from the programming,
the first step is to realize you've been programmed.
Once you have, start to understand:
• Mental models
• Shadow work
• Meditation
• No news
• Expose
• Read
• CBT
Humans have a lot of mental biases.
When you understand those biases, you can understand how to avoid getting caught by them.
Read @farnamstreet and @SahilBloom for a deep dive into mental models and frameworks.
Carl Jung said until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
Through shadow work or psychoanalysis, seek to understand your childhood trauma, the triggers, and the coping mechanism.
• childhood trauma
• what triggers it as an adult
• how you've evolved coping mechanism
You put yourself in a position of strength.
You can avoid the triggers and you can have healthier coping mechanisms for when you are triggered.
Meditation and mindfulness cut through the noise.
The goal is for us to be in a neutral mind.
We may have biases, think about the past, or dream about the future, but when we are present and focused on facts in this moment,
We will make better life decisions.
Don't let the news condition you.
In almost all material ways we are better off today than we have ever been.
Yet, many people think society is unraveling and the world is in a much worse spot.
Fear sells and you're being sold.
Shut off the news - read a book.
Do not let the echo chambers condition you.
Do not only listen to Democrats or only listen to Republicans.
If you are a Republican, watch CNN and read the New York Times.
If you're a Democrat, watch Fox News.
In both scenarios, seek to understand the other's view.
When we read a book we stand on the shoulders of giants.
Someone may have put 10+ years of their life and work into that book you read.
They will teach you about biases, conditioning, mindset, and mental models.
Read deeply and read widely to open your mind to life.
We have 35,000 thoughts per day.
Most of those thoughts are negative.
CBT, and thought auditing per see, help you to reduce those negative thoughts.
They help you reach a place of neutral, fact based, thought.
Combined with meditation and mindfulness, CBT is 🔥.
If you want to unplug yourself from the matrix,
the first step is to realize yo're in the matrix.

Great article from @AsheSchow. I lived thru the 'Satanic Panic' of the 1980's/early 1990's asking myself "Has eveyrbody lost their GODDAMN MINDS?!"
The 3 big things that made the 1980's/early 1990's surreal for me.
1) Satanic Panic - satanism in the day cares ahhhh!
2) "Repressed memory" syndrome
3) Facilitated Communication [FC]
All 3 led to massive abuse.
"Therapists" -and I use the term to describe these quacks loosely - would hypnotize people & convince they they were 'reliving' past memories of Mom & Dad killing babies in Satanic rituals in the basement while they were growing up.
Other 'therapists' would badger kids until they invented stories about watching alligators eat babies dropped into a lake from a hot air balloon. Kids would deny anything happened for hours until the therapist 'broke through' and 'found' the 'truth'.
FC was a movement that started with the claim severely handicapped individuals were able to 'type' legible sentences & communicate if a 'helper' guided their hands over a keyboard.
For three years I have wanted to write an article on moral panics. I have collected anecdotes and similarities between today\u2019s moral panic and those of the past - particularly the Satanic Panic of the 80s.
