emotional warfare

We are living in the age of the internet, where information is boundless. Except it's more like we are living in the age of nonstop propaganda. Accurate information is a scarce resource. Nothing makes any sense and it's so difficult to find correct knowledge on even the simplest of questions. Source contradicts source, and if you're not careful you find yourself being ping ponged back and forth between what you believe and what they want you to believe. Your emotions begin to be yanked back and forth so much that you find yourself always on edge, always ready to argue your point to anyone that has a different view.

We are in a state of constant consumption and it's killing us. Mentally, spiritually, and physically. We are being drained nonstop and there's never any downtime for us. Even though many of our lives have slowed down over the past months, most of us have just been watching more media than normal. We are sitting in front of screens for both work and leisure, while they are gorging us with a feeding tube full of crap. We consume information and then feel more confused than we did before. There is so much conflicting info that sometimes you just have to guess, or put bits and pieces together, because the powers that be like to mix a little truth with fiction. You know, to confuse us even more. 

All this confusion makes it harder to realize when something is actually real or not. And it's not just visual and verbal brainwashing either. It happens on a more subconscious level. Technologies exist that can manipulate our emotions. Research patent US6506148B2, nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors. It was granted and has been active since 2003. 

Someone wants us in front of screens all the time, because it makes us more stupid and docile. They want to manipulate our emotions to leave us mentally fragile and defensive. They want us ignoring our families and friends while we play games on our phone or scroll through our feeds, instead of sitting down and having a meaningful conversation. Which would lower our stress and help manage our feelings. 

We are also giving out our personal information so freely. Privacy has become a commodity. We have become a society that willingly gives out all of our personal data, just because. When social media began to take over, we didn't realize that we were actually marching ourselves into a surveillance state. 

Little by little, limit your intake. Take your life back. Go outside. Find hobbies you enjoy, or just sit and think without distractions. Your time and personal information belongs to you. It is yours to freely give, but don't allow someone to steal what you have left.
