It’s very lonely and isolating to avoid the current, and most people can’t handle it.
I constantly talk to people who think I’m the strangest person ever for not being on socials, not wanting to watch xyz… people who say “I can’t believe you haven’t heard that song!” And stuff like that.
Sometimes they stick their phones in my face and show me some clip of something, look me in the eyes, and perform a live laugh track. I usually do an obligatory giggle or smile, but what i’m really doing is watching and studying them. I’m grateful that people try to connect with me… that they care what I think… they are seeking some kind of approval or kinship… it’s very strange to observe… it’s like they have given up agency to connect with meaningful conversation, and rely on proxies to speak for them… but when you let other people speak for you, without being able to augment or modify their arguments… just completely and wholeheartedly agree with them… it’s a very teenage tribal mindset that lacks critical thinking.
a) Demos implies "people" aka collectivization of natural units into artificial groups. Within such a group of people (demos) one rationalizes US vs THEM.
b) De-moral aka division of moral implies a further division of rationalization (conflict of reason). A moral people rationalize in-between good vs bad, which demoralization further divides into for example pure goodness vs utter evil. It's still the same conflict, yet with added mental layers to obscure the living being.
easily influenced by advertising
Easily (ones perception) influenced (all perceivable) by advertising (suggestions by another).
It's easy for ones perception to be turned against (ad vert) others...consent given implies offense taken.
susceptible to hypnosis. Why would that be?
Because consenting to suggestion puts ones perception (nosis) to sleep (hypno).
good information...
...implies ones rationalization (good vs bad) of suggested information (operation), while ignoring perceivable inspiration (psyche).
Psyche (animating power) moves through one, hence all perceivable moving through each ones perception, while holding onto suggested implies opera - "effort".
Rationalization/reasoning over information wastes effort (exertion)...adaptation to inspiration affords aka puts forth being (re-animation).
Good information, but he’s forgetting entirely to mention what Uncle Yuri (Bezemov) taught us:
DEMORALIZED PEOPLE CANNOT BE RATIONAL.
I watched this guy on the Concrete (pronounced: sai-ôhp) podcast, he’s pretty sus imho.
He admits he’s easily influenced by advertising and extremely susceptible to hypnosis. Why would that be?
Is this a false equivalency: “If I learned how the sausage is made, I would never be tempted to eat it?”
100% agree.
