I understand. Also when I speak of society I'm really talking about general influence spread over the media, word of mouth (people repeat even the stupid shit that they hear unfortunately).
What movies do people go see? The ones that are at the box office.
What songs do people listen to? The ones that play on the radio over and over and over.
What form of art do people succomb to? Absurdity, memes, gifs, porn parodies
Eventually, no matter how deep we put our head in the sand. At one point we are subject to the influence of movies, music, art, culture, religion, institutions (nobel prize, harvard, United Nations top comittee, facebook). The rest of the influence comes from the corporations.
Society (goverment, parents, one global consciousness) creates a slow inception of the idea that you must X... and then Y but God forbid don't do Z, ever
Movies, music, art, culture, religion, institutions ---> Nourish the idea
When you come to make a decision. You believe that you have enough information to make a valid choice and not biased one. But all that "information" is not information anymore, it's poison that tastes like gummy bears.
For example:
Society: Eat meat regularly, meat contains protein it's good for you
Society: Proteins are good for you, it's proven by science
Society: Meat can give you cancer
Society: Take heavy radiation to kill cancer
Society: No, Samir Chachoua says that cancer and aids can be killed with alternative treatment to radiation
And then media, corporations, goverment spread the propaganda to the general public (society): This is madness, cancer and aids can only be cured through FDA medicine/treatment (i.e shit that WE declare legal)
Society: Ok but when is game of thrones back on. The Steelers got robbed!! Wtf Myley Cyrus!! That's outrageous.. society is brainwashing us.. Hey halooween, hurrray!!
lol i see u pretty mad bro, bad for your blood pressure man. Just gotta keep your head down and get shit done thats it.
