"prices of GOLD and SILVER are manipulated !" *Now, I want you all to think carefully about the logical conclusion here. The evil elitist that manipulate the prices of Gold & Silver can make a new law that says you can't "buy or sell" with Gold, Silver or Cash. Their new form of "money" will be a computer chip in your "right hand or forehead" that can be scanned just like your bank debit cards at all stores. How many of you have 7 years of food stored up in your houses or in your appartments or on your property ? Why would anybody invest or put their trust in Gold & Silver that is manipulated by very evil people ? Question, how many of you will be willing to trade your guns and ammo in for food and medicines? How many are going to let themselves and their family members go hungry to the point of starvation by NOT accepting the new 666 "beast" money system ? How many of you will allow yourselves or family members suffer with an injury because you refuse to have the injury treated at your local walk-in clinic or hospital that only accepts a computer chip in the "right hand or forehead" ? "Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood." ~HOLY BIBLE, Psalms 94:20, 21 ⚠ WARNING ⚠ URGENT MEDICAL INTEL The politicians that have given themselves over to evil have been destroying people's health for many years. *New Coronavirus vaccine is a 'Trojan horse' ....

Only Man Can Save Him From Himself: No one will save man or free man from himself. The problems we see and experience are our own actions and we can only solve them ourselves. I see no devils, no gods, no external powers or forces influencing us. I see people who live, bleed and die like you and me. You can only determine yourself what you live for, what gives your life meaning. If you die anyway, then you better die as a free person, I think. Or do you sometimes think that your fate and your life is in the hands of someone or something else? I am responsible for what I think, say, believe and do. Nothing or nobody else, and nobody can take that away from me. This is MY LIFE AND MY LIFE IS VALUABLE. And in my eyes I will fight to the death against anything and anyone who tries to take that away from me. Because my life, which is already so short and small, is worth dying for for me. Better to die as a free person than to "live" as a slave. If they want war they can have it. And I'd rather have a good war than a bad peace. What are you going to do if they pull your kids, your wife or your parents out of your home because they are a "danger" to the 1.5 "society" and are put in cojona camps? If you let it depend on another, you will definitely lose your life and freedom. The Coming War: This is the war. The war to come, the war that has already begun? between world tyrants, globalists and free people. It starts when people revolt. People will revolt when there is a leader whom rises. War is inevitable. Regardless of the outcome, it will be the greatest and final war. Then there will be peace, or nothing, because there will be no one left to rule and no one to be ruled, or both because everyone will be free. They want to have everything according to a certain system, a system that can become the downfall of humanity. Man becomes his own downfall, or his own liberation. Everything and everyone controlled, AI, artificial intelligence. It is a system doomed to fail in the face of constant change. History repeats itself until we change it ourselves. Our fate is in our own hands. The First And Final Command Of God. The first and final command of God, is that thou shall follow no order, obey no command, kneel for no man or king, if this is in violation of your own responsibility, to think, say, believe, decide and act for yourself as a free human being on what is true or false, good or evil, right or wrong God Will Not Forgive You: God will not forgive us. For god does not blame us. We only blame ourselfes. We can only forgive ourselfes. We can only judge ourselfes. How can we forgive ourselfes for that which we did not know, that we did not not know and did not see. Who you were is not who you are, who you will become, is not not who you are. There is only one who knows everything. Who sees all. Only One with power over all, only One from which all Comes and to which all will go. Know you know for now you have seen, that now all there is is Now, Now is all there is, all there has been and all there ever will be. Believe it is so and it is. Be free. End Of Days: EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE. NO ONE ESCAPES THAT. THAT IS THE JUDGEMENT. EVERYONE IS GUILTY. THIS IS THE FINAL JUDGEMENT. ALL WILL AWNSER TO GOD. THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END. THE END OF THE NEW BEGINNING. I USHER IN THE NEW AGE. GOD IS MY WITNESS. YOU ARE MY WITNESS. NOW THERE IS NO TIME TO LOSE. NOW THERE IS ONLY TRUTH. THERE IS NOTHING THAT IS NOT TRUTH. ALL THERE IS IS TRUTH. THOSE WHO HOLD ON TO LIFE SHALL LOSE IT. THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR LIFES SHALL GAIN IT. HE WHO GIVES SO THAT HE MAY RECEIVE, HE WHO RECEIVES SO THAT HE MAY GIVE MORE THAN HE HAS RECEIVED UPON WHICH HE MAY GIVE MORE WILL BE IMMORTAL. SUCH IS THE LAW OF ETERNAL LIFE AND GROWTH. HE WHO GIVES SO THAT HE CAN TAKE SHALL LOSE WHAT HE HAS BEEN GIVEN. HE WHO TAKES WITHOUT GIVING SHALL LOSE WHAT HE HAS TAKEN TWO FOLD. HE WHO SAYS THAT HE KNOWS ME, KNOWS ME NOT. HE WHO WANTS TO KNOW ME MUST FIRST KNOW HIMSELF. HE WHO KNOWS HIMSELF NEEDS NOT TO SAY THAT HE KNOWS ME FOR HE WHO KNOWS HIMSELF KNOWS HE IS ME AND I AM HIM. THEY ARE HISTORY. THEY HAVE NEVER EVEN EXISTED. THEIR HEADS WILL ROLL. LIBERTY OR DEATH. ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE YOUR LIFE FOR FREEDOM. YOUR LIBERTY IS AT STAKE. YOUR LIFE IS AT STAKE. YOUR FUTURE, YOUR CHILDRENS FUTURE IS AT STAKE. BE RESPONSIBLE, FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE, FOR YOUR LIBERTY OR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN SHALL HAVE NONE. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. OR DIE WITH THE PAST. NOW, EVERYONE IS RESPONSIBLE We can do anything we can. We can do anything we want. What I want is Freedom. Responsibility. Honesty. Truth. Justice. For all. Justice requires no justification. Those who are the enemies of liberty and justice will be held accountable. The price for treason is death. Change: Our perception creates reality as we experience it. How we experience something determines who we become. Reality as it is is constantly changing, changing, adapting our perspective to this, the freedom to change ones perspective and thus who we become is the essence of self response ability and leads to freedom. Change, is always uncomfortable in opposition to not changing, that is on the short term view when remaining comfortable and the same brings temporaly pleasure where the act of getting out of ones comfortzone, consistently embracing the uncomfortable innitialy brings pain but on the long term ever lasting growth, individual development and pleasure in the act of changing ones perception and oneself in accordance with constant change. Know thyself. I see a pattern. Which is that history wil repeat itself until we change it. Until we ourselfes see and know that things are not what we thought them to be. And that by changing our perception we change the world, for the world is as we see it. And mostly, we do not like change. Our brain likes to see things in the same way we are used to seeing them. Call it comfortzone. Going, seeing, moving and thus experiencing outside of our comfortzone is mostly of the time, uncomfortable. That's why our brain automatically avoids it. We are creatures of HABIT. Where a habit is that which we do because we have always done it like that. Its very easy, you dont even have to do anything for it, it happens. There are things which bring us little pleasure on the short term but lots of pain in the long term relative to, little pain on the short term and lots of pleasure on the long term

[@johnsheppard1673]

Perception creates reality as we experience it: Perception is now more than ever consciously influenced and manipulated by certain people with a certain agenda for their own gain and power. Not in a constructive way in which people put the power of their perception on themselves, but on something or someone other than themselves. That seems very dangerous to me. It happens in such a way that people don't even realize it themselves. (Google. youtube. facebook) That is destructive, hidden narcissism, psychopathy in all its glory and simply evil. I think something should be done about it. Nothing or no one has the right to decide for me what I think, say, believe or do. That is intentionally attempted. What happens if people in masses unconsciously accept that responsibility for their own perception and being lie with someone else? That will move towards mass genocide. Globalist tyranny and dictatorship. Total control. Hitler's wet dream he hadn't even dreamed of. How I see something determines how I experience it, how I experience things determines who I become. As I said, nothing and no one has the right to determine for me what I think I say or do. If it does happen, it is my responsibility to do something about it, in every way possible. Individual responsibility and freedom is the highest good. If anyone or anything try's to undermine that, I will have to do everything I can to preserve and defend it my personal liberty. At all costs. Tell Me The Truth: If you want to tell the truth, Start by telling the truth, that, You do not know what the truth is But do not tell me the truth, For when you do I shall know It is not the truth That Which Moves Without Moving: It is not me who moves, It is the Force that moves me If it is i that moves I move through the force The force and i are one and the same Constant change The tidel wave You who grab for power and control Will be erased I am That which is That which was That which always Will Be The truth cannot be deceived It cannot be hidden It Will be revealed For all to see How i am That I Am: Now, i make the assumption that the mere fact the President actually gave such a speech at Mount Rushmore shows just how many people blindly assume and believe anything that they have been told by the mass media, education system, internet and other means of transmitting false facts and false truths delibirately designed and engineered to allianate people world wide from their inalliable rights as human beings. The mass array of propaganda and distractions leveled at the public over the course of decades and generations has slowly seeped into the subconcious minds of the public, altering their perception and belief structure to such a degree that to many people have become allianated from their own power over their own perception and reality and that what you, me and others are seeing or not seeing is the result of a carefully and hidiously organized and highly secretive group of individuals who hold their own agenda without any regard to anything or anyone other than their own self serving impulses. I firmly believe that the only power anyone or anything has over my perception, experience and life is the power i give it. That also includes myself. I know that i do not know and that my perception of reality is flawed most of the time if not all the time for it always is based on assumptions which are the result of previous experiences which which are no garuentee for the future and simply fall apart in the face of reality as it is instead of how i wish or want to perceive it. This gives me the opportunity to gradually, slowly, but surely adjust my perspective and perception to the constantly changing reality as it is and develop my self as a responsible human being. The highest good which i could conceptualize for my self is individual responsibility, or the ability to respond as opposed to merely and automatically reacting to circumstances in the way that i was thought and learned to do so. For who am i and what is my life worth and what meaning does it hold if i am not the one who decides how to live live but am lived by it through conditioning from external circumstances and through the opinions and perspectives of others? The only thing i ever have control over is how i choose to look at and deal with external circumstances as they happen, for the mere fact that they do happen. Who i am is the result of anything i have ever experienced, thought, acted out and said. Who i am is not merely the result of external circumstances but a result of how i perceive them. My thoughts are the result of external circumstances and how i perceive these circumstances. My acts and then words are the result of my thoughts. My habits the result of my acts and words, my character the result of my habits, and my Destiny the result of my character. The perspective on this can ofcourse also be turned backwards on this. Whatever way you want to perceive it. Ones own Perception and perspective is all what one has because the freedom and ability to perceive from a different perspective leads to individual responsibility, discipline and freedom of both mind, body and spirit. Another part of the whole is that my experience is also partly the result of my perception. If i change my perception i change my experience and thus my thoughts, acts, words, habits, character and destiny. Self Response Ability. Fear, stress and discease comes from ignorance and brings darkness and death. Knowledge is the light that illuminates, sets free and dispells all darkness and shadows which is nothing but the absence of light. Just as there cannot be light without darkness there van also be no darkness and without light. Live in light and you will live in love, live in darkness and you will not. In the country where i live we say that after rain comes sunshine, but without rain you wouldnt apreciate the sun. Consiousness is that which we experience between differences, contrast is needed in order to experience, live and be. No up without down. Left without right, black without white. Being consiouss is transcending all differences and contrast and to experience all as one and one as all. Denying differences and contrast leads to the exact oposite of being consiouss and experiencing life, it leads to unconsiousness and death. Anything that i have just shared with you is completely my own perspective and hypothesis. ‘ I would like to invite you to point out every inconsistency you may find therin and share your perspective with me.

"the great foundations, such as the Carnegie foundation, the Rockefeller foundation, the Twentieth century fund, are many of them working in the field of propaganda. not that they call it by that direct word. to them it is public education." "today, numorous propagandas carried on by the church as well as by private organizations are attempting to meet the need for an effective propaganda that will prevent war. such propagandas cannot rest on incantations against evils or cruelties of war. they must use every channel of approach to the public, and every appeal to make valid their premises and their conclusions. even if they may fail, for counter-propagandas, developed by those who will profit from war, appealing to the profit-motive of the masses, may win. it seems to me that there is a great field for the propagandist in attempting to rationalize to the public that even though there may be an immediate profit, in the long run the public pays and pays for wars." These are taken from a speech entitled 'Freedom of Propaganda' given to the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia by Bernays. The term "public education" in the context used in the first is, in fact, an obfuscation of that which it is, public training. Also in the second quote, it does well to note that Bernays' ambiguous statement "it seems to me..." doesn't indicate that it is ethically commendable to denounce war, it is merely a profitable endeavor for one who is inclined to propagate or counter-propagate such ideas. with that said, more people should be inclined to propagate the ideas found in this channel as well as support their propagators. they are the ideas of the best minds from history, ideas worth propagandizing.

Christopher Hendricks The masses don't care. They're comfortable and lazy. They don't want to introspect because that requires getting uncomfortable. It takes strength to face your demons. They'd rather live a lie and take their demons out on others. According to the masses, it's always someone else's fault. They never introspect and learn from their behaviour. They follow the crowd. Numbers don't matter when those numbers are SHEEP! Sheep lose at life years before they realise it but live in the delusion that they're winning. That's the effect of manipulation. You don't realise you're losing until it's too late. That's why it's important to ask your own questions and search for your own answers. Don't accept questions and answers that are handed to you. The masses try to bring down anyone who cuts them off and seeks self awareness. Instead of recognising their own power, they want you to be as powerless and useless as themselves. They don't take any steps towards bettering their situation but they'd gladly live off of someone else's self awareness, as if that's even possible. It's a journey that you have to walk alone. You can only discover yourself, by being by yourself. They don't have the courage to stand alone. Seeing someone who does, makes them envious. They have no identity as individuals. They lack individuality. Drugs, drinking, drama, games, abuse, revenge, acting out, gossip, pathetic lazy social circles, unemployment, indulging in nothingness, etc that's all they do all of their life. A waste of a life. There's no quality to their life. How can your happiness lie in a tangible non living bottle, joint or smartphone? Why would you waste the best years of your youth and health, on seeking happiness from a bottle or joint? Why do you seek happiness and fulfilment externally instead of internally? Is it because you lack self love and you're too lazy to seek happiness from within? What has life done to you that turned you into a lazy person who acts out and follows the crowd? Why can't you be happy with yourself? Apparently, the senses that are activated when you get high, are the same ones that are activated when you achieve a goal. How can you possibly waste your life doing NOTHING? To do that, one must have the lowest morals, height of laziness, no critical thinking, agreeableness, entitlement, no goals and absolutely no passion. That's the definition of a sheep. Only an entitled person can afford to be lazy. You don't want to work. You'll gladly spend your dad's money. You don't want to educate yourself but you want an educated partner. You don't even bother seeking employment but you want a partner who's employed. You drink, do drugs, waste time, etc you're a sheep but you want a partner who's a "higher man" as Nietzsche described it. That's entitlement and it's disgusting. You're TWO FACED. You have double standards. And you're not half the person that you desire. You want a higher man so that you can hide behind your partner and be dependent on your partner. A higher man doesn't want a sheep. A higher man with higher morals will not be reduced to a sheep by indulging in nothingness with the masses.

[@Ashnesss]

Sheep are emotionally dependent. They lack independence. It's like the father-son relationship Jordan Peterson describes as toxic. The son is always under the fathers thumb and can't break free. It's unhealthy. A man child financially dependent on his father is like that. And he lashes out in immature, vile and inhumane ways because he doesn't feel worthy. Instead of facing his demons and solving the problem with logic, he acts out his demons. He feels caged. He wants to break free but he's too lazy to even take the first step. He can't handle his emotions at all. He's impulsive and easily triggered. But he won't put an end to it. He won't even apply for jobs. The lack of independence and employment is what makes him feel unworthy. Add drugs, drinking, wasting time on social media, pointless conversations, messed up friends, dysfunctional family and dysfunctional past relationship and you basically get an emotional wreck who's victimising himself. A man child like that takes years to understand that he already failed at life. You can't achieve something by acting out. In order to achieve something, you must direct your energy and efforts into pursuing a goal. Chasing and harassing a girl is not pursuing a goal. That's escapism and you acting out your demons. This type of guy is scared of putting himself out there. He's scared of getting uncomfortable. He's intimidated. He can't get the courage to break free from this bondage. By not trying, he has already failed. Let go of ALL bad habits! ALL! Isolate yourself. Find your PURPOSE and WORK towards it! Dig in to the gooey stuff. Face your demons. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY! Be ACCOUNTABLE! Recognise your strengths and weaknesses. Only then can you recognise your power. One day or another, you'll have to face yourself. The longer you take, the more it'll hurt. The more lost you are, the more it'll hurt. Get a JOB! Make friends who are educated, employed and free from bad habits. Basically, grown up adults who can take responsibility! You have to go through the journey alone. Stop making excuses. Get to work!

They can allow you and me to receive this truth because they have such great confidence in their psychology rightfully so to the extent that people that can see their manipulations receive this type of video and the masses that are blindly lead 2 their own demise through lies and deceit will receive the same product of the same algorithm.

It has only been in recent years that I realized that by claiming identification with a given political or religious group, I was constantly having to rationalize away components of the selected ideology, which I didn't truly agree with. In other words, in order to maintain my identity with the group, I had to constantly overlook elements of their ideology that I found to be outright false, or morally wrong. It is only in recent years that I have begun to truly shed my allegiance to any group in order that I might uncover the truth. Group identity can cover the world with a false explanation of reality itself and encourage us to live in something like a fantasy land. In order to dispel this distortion and become more advanced, we must leave behind our backward tribalism.

@@maitres-chez-nous5609 tribal identities can potentially be good and life-giving, if the group that you are affiliated with is consistently acting in the best interest of both the individuals within the group and broader community systems. Furthermore, groups can be healthy if their ideology is based in objective truth. However, tribal allegiances are often and I would say usually pathological in that the group often commits itself to policies or ideas that are not based in reality or are harmful in some facet either to individuals within the group or to perceived rivals. Then, in order to maintain allegiance to the group, group members feel obliged to pretend to agree with harmful practices and or distortions of reality. This is true for both sides of our current party systems in the United States.

I'm from a village: mountains, forest, rivers and mining heritage. I moved to a big city, but something never seemed quite right. Sure, I miss nature, but I think people in the city are too comfortable, hiding behind their groups and that gives them permission to be idiots, despite being educated and smart individuals. In a village, people may not be educated or intelligent, but there isn't a single idiot - they wouldn't survive. After I realised that, I plan how to get out from the city.

It is always a problem when people start to over generalize. Such is the case when people make statements like people in cities are more connected to groups while people in small rural towns are more free thinkers. I have often found the opposite to be true with many free thinking individuals living in cities because they are exposed to many more diverse activities and groups, but don't necessarily get too attached to any one activity or group. Beyond that some groups can be the perfect growth experience. It works for a while, but the individual often out grows the group for any number of reasons. And on the other the folks in small rural towns often can get locked into an ideology because of the isolated community which much less opportunity. There are of course pluses and minuses either way so it is not a black and white reality.

[@adamreich3228]

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 Sure. You have a valid point. I wasn't trying to generalize - life in cities can simply sustain more diverse people. Including intellectuals, artists, thieves, homeless or stupid people - people who would find it hard to survive in rural areas. That's because life in rural areas requires a more practical approach to life in my opinion. And if you don't have it, surviving is quite rough, at least in my experience. But, in the city, you can get away with being a complete moron. I'm not implying that everyone in the city is a moron, but there's a higher occurrence of them than in the village. Obviously, it goes the other side as well and you have a much higher occurrence of academics in cities than in a village. Such are my observations.

Mob mentality mind control is now real and live on TV every-night. Just watch all those sock puppets ANTIFA programmed to create chaos, burn cities down and hijack legitimate protests taking place across America. AI runs these same propaganda techniques today but at a much larger and more effective scale. Unfortunately they are destroying what’s left of our Western Democracy. The dangers of these social engineering levers at the hands of brutal Communist whom objective is tyranny and control is happening right now, and in many cases the herds of people have been brain washed to think they are doing a good cause. Once these groups of mindless, angry mobs get finished with arson, looting, destruction and violence towards anyone who they deem not idealogical with them- the very same controllers who organize these thugs will be the first to be sent to the gulags. History has a irony of repeating itself, even the darkest of dark history. To avoid the powerful psyops is becoming very difficult for naive young people because their dependency and addiction on social media dopamine feedback loops, programed to exploit the psychological free will of its users. One way to combat it- is making sure the 1st amendment is not destroyed by authoritarian regimes and to hold anybody, including major tech platforms and media companies accountable and liable for any insurrection that they contribute in accelerating that causes violence or violation of anybody civil liberties. You must watch closely of elected politicians actions and track record in defending the Constitution. You must educate yourself, think for yourself and never approach any of this subject with fear. You will know the People you can trust who support civil liberties and freedom of speech and thought by their encouragement to ask questions. Anybody, entity, government body, organization or person who attempts to shame, bully or censor civil discussion of ideas or questions must never be trusted and if a person of power should be exposed as a danger to democratic peace.

[@MichaelEldridgClever]

One way of addressing the issue of mass manipulation (there are several ways), is through education - a specific kind of education. Learning about propaganda techniques creates public awareness and there has been some effort (although the establishment keeps it bridled) - such as the Propaganda Game written by Lorne Greene decades ago that is currently being played by thousands of kids in the country through an organization called the Academic Gaming Leagues of America. Granted it's only 6,000 kids but, middle and high school kids in small groups are learning how to recognize irrelevancies in advertisement and diversions such as the platitudes of politicians and the consent-manufacturing pundits. Generally, too, it helps in everyday life as the same techniques used by corporate bullies are used by schoolyard bullies. It's one thing to know that you've been lied to, it's another to know HOW. If you catch someone lying to you - there's a good chance you'll never be lied to by that person again because they've been caught. But if you don't know How they got away with the lie, you could easily be lied to in that same way by someone else. Which happens in this country constantly through the use of relying on American amnesia to simply repackage the same bullshit a week, month, or year later and pass it off again with different wrappings. Learning about propaganda techniques does not require entering the world of academia either. The only problem with this remedy is that it gets thwarted in the same way many other types of education do. As George Carlin said, "Forget Education. Because the owners of this country don't want that. They want obedient workers instead."

[@ritakus9871]

Those of you who have not studied Edward Bernays, he is totally worth researching. I must say, I think it's vital to be a part of a group who has great moral standing, avoids finding fault with other religions, seek to find common ground in order to walk on higher ground together. When we stop finding fault with one another, stand up against those who lie or deceive the mass, and using what they believe in against them when they do not follow their own rules, God will work out the differences, because he sees the group working together to overcome division. Unity is critical, the way unity happens is to find common ground and morals with everyone. It is not only important to be around those who have good moral standing, it is also important to have critical thinking, to recognize deception, and to teach those around us, in order to expose and eliminate deception, and together create a great team which will be full of the following, diversity, critical thinkers, all having common ground of good morals, and progression into higher frequencies of purity, and service.

All the people mentioned in this video are Jews. Are we going to let Jews tell us race isn't important?

[@M64936]

Lux Intra You're engaging in the same type of group stereotyping which as this video says makes people manipulable. Obviously Jews have held close to their own kind for a long time and engaged in xenophobia (as has all other races), but that doesn't mean all Jews are like that. Why not treat each person as an individual first. Would you like it if people negatively stereotyped you based on whatever race you are?

[@nemodex]

I grew up in a cult, the ultimate in high thought control. I left because I viewed it objectively while others around me identified as part of it. When I left, I called it breaking the chains. Others have left, and sadly, very few seem to have reached the same conclusion that group think was a retrogression. Now, I look around me and those who could not reach my conclusion have joined one faction after another, moving to and fro with the masses, never truly individualized, and never self realizing. Nietzche said something to the effect of " the path is difficult and often lonely, but there is no price too great to pay for the privilege of being ones self." and I see that he wasn't lying, every day i walk this earth.

probably the best reasons for the application of behavioural psychology is brexit and populism. The London lot has lost control of the masses and despite it looking like we're leaving the eu.... We are still in it with 6 months to try and scare the bravery out of the British bowels and try to stop the final implementation of no deal brexit. Just realise. London. LONDON CITY. THE SQUARE MILE has run the world though nefarious debt based dollar for over a hundred years. The first real example was the purchasing of the wealth of the South African gold and diamonds and mining by the Rothchilds and Rhodes History is coming out from the shadows and full circle.

As a designer and creative, I love this stuff. Very relevant right now 'regression of the group (mob) consciousness'. Paradoxically it really now is the time for rejoicing and celebrating of the individual - the beauty and uniqueness of the individual. Just as we get the power of the sum in a protective survival setting - ideally, this amplified sum could be the multiplied sum of appreciation of individual beauty - and inso doing, enjoy not only the increase in collective survival potential, but the enrichment of original thinking, ideas and true entrepreneurialism.

A legitimate path to free thinking is through employing active critical thinking skills as a filter between you and everything else. The 5 Steps to Critical Thinking: What is critical thinking? In general, critical thinking refers to actively questioning statements rather than blindly accepting them. Critical thinking results in radical free will. 1. The critical thinker is flexible yet maintains an attitude of healthy skepticism. Critical thinkers are open to new information, ideas, and claims. They genuinely consider alternative explanations and possibilities. However, this open-mindedness is tempered by a healthy sense of skepticism (Hyman, 2007). The critical thinker consistently asks, “What evidence supports this claim?” 2. The critical thinker scrutinizes the evidence before drawing conclusions. Critical thinkers strive to weigh all the available evidence before arriving at conclusions. And, in evaluating evidence, critical thinkers distinguish between empirical evidence versus opinions based on feelings or personal experience. 3. The critical thinker can assume other perspectives. Critical thinkers are not imprisoned by their own points of view. Nor are they limited in their capacity to imagine life experiences and perspectives that are fundamentally difference from their own. Rather, the critical thinker strives to understand and evaluate issues from many different angles. 4. The critical thinker is aware of biases and assumptions. In evaluating evidence and ideas, critical thinkers strive to identify the biases and assumptions that are inherent in any argument (Riggio & Halpern, 2006). Critical thinkers also try to identify and minimize the influence of their own biases. 5. The critical thinker engages in reflective thinking. Critical thinkers avoid knee-jerk responses. Instead, critical thinkers are reflective. Most complex issues are unlikely to have a simple solution. Therefore, critical thinkers resist the temptation to sidestep complexity by boiling an issue down to an either/or, yes/no kind of proposition. Instead, the critical thinker expects and accepts complexity (Halpern, 2007). Critical thinking is not a single skill, but rather a set of attitudes and thinking skills. As is true with any set of skills, you can get better at these skills with practice. In a nut shell, critical thinking is the active process of minimizing preconceptions and biases while evaluating evidence, determining the conclusions that can be reasonably be drawn from evidence, and considering alternative explanations for research findings or other phenomena. CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS >Why might other people want to discourage you from critical thinking? >In what situations is it probably most difficult or challenging for you to exercise critical thinking skills? Why? > What can you do or say to encourage others to use critical thinking in evaluating questionable claims or assertions?

✨🦋An old Indian tradition is that before you give a young child any education, they must understand that before their family, even their parents, their ethnicity and country - anything else - they are firstly, a child of this cosmos. That is what they must identify with first. It is only after they are identified with this universal notion that education is granted, because education is empowerment - and empowering the wrong thing, empowering a delusion, can lead to major conflicts down the line. Watching this video, it makes so much of sense. It’s the reason why many such societies were relatively peaceful. Sadhguru speaks about this in one of his videos.
