To me, the only hope is introspection. You've got to focus inwardly: "Where did I get that idea? Why do I think that? Why do I feel that way?"
Then you flip back again, look around and finally realize, "Ohhhhhhhhh, I see! Being in possession of one's own mind is the last thing They want."
EDIT: I wanted to add that I started realizing this when I heard someone assert some "fact" and then the other guy responded with a key question: "Yeah, yeah, 'everybody knows', but how exactly do you know?"

You find out people rarely have an answer... lol
And introspection is impossible with 24/7 high speed internet to distract and entertain the mind.
