5 Lies Society Loves to Tell: How to Build a Finely Tuned B.S. Filter
You’re being conned on a daily basis. There’s no better way to put it. What do I mean?
Think about it. Would you voluntarily end up with circumstances like these:
- Working a job you hate
- Saddled with tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debt
- Unhealthy
- Outraged, sad, jaded, and cynical
- Without hope for a better future
When you look at this logically, no one would agree to have these set of circumstances. Alas, many people, maybe you, have your own unique combination of them.
Why? Because you are literally being conned.
In many senses, what’s happening to you right now isn’t your fault. I could just tell you to lift yourself up by the bootstraps, but without understanding the game that’s being played around you, success is had to come by.
I see so many people who are legitimately under a spell. Look at the way people fight for their “tribes” like programmed drones. They talk the same, even down to the exact phrases. Their belief systems are perfectly aligned, which is odd, to say the least.
