I wanted to call this ''Your brain is your weapon''. But after looking for a free picture to use for the main page, I've found this one and decided to write about a vaster topic.
Of course our brain is the best organ we have in our body. It's the most complex, it needs more vitamins and minerals and even oxygen and water and more components we may don't know about. It also requires training by thinking and solving problems. It demand as well the rest to recover. It has also many enemies, from inside as the instinct and emotions and from the outside as bad influence. That's why it needs to be protected !
So, I mean by bad influence a lot. First of all it's all your surroundings. Starting my your family and ending by everyone you meet in your life. But, in the end you grow up and start to analyze everything and decide what to do with your life. Even that decision could be already affected by hidden factors. So, you get influenced by more powerful impacts. Most of them are coming from your government. Besides that you still have to be aware of the effect of every single one surrounding you.
One of the most powerful tools to influence your brain is the media ! That's why in the main picture you see the newspapers and tv. That's not eerything because we have now the information everywhere. The message could be hidden even in the advertisements. Even the web and social media are affected. Knowing that is the first step to be protected. It's the base of your shield. If you don't believe in that, you are already defenseless !
I wouldn't write about tv because when the internet was created I thought that already most people moved to the web. I thought that only a very little part of the world watch it at all. I thought that its influence is so low. But, in fact I was more than wrong. The reality showed totally the oposite. Most people still watch tv. Some of them even think that's the most truthful source of information. They take everything from tv as a fact. That's very sad. I realized that from the year 2020 when most people wore masks that easy. Most of them believed that the virus is so deadly and they may wear those masks even outside when noone is arround or in a close car driving alone. The TV made them believe that a simple flu should bring a new habbit in their lives to not breath fresh air and to absorbe their own toxic gases what leads to worse health problems and reduce the immune system. That what really makes any virus deadly, not the virus itself ! The funny thing is we even have those people here on the blockchain who will argue and may tell me I'm wrong. I'm almost sure about that. That's how the tv may even hurt your brain. It could make you a zombie that believe in everything shared there without doing your own researches. That's why in Russia they call the TV a ''zombie box''. It creates them and they may really eat the brain of others by spreading the false information.
Of course any weapon to attack your brain may use the mass media. That in the first stage the news, then in tv shows, as well as documentaries, films and series and even if could be hidden in music. They even use social media to promote what they need and any other applications used by the masses. Those are all tools of control. Their could be even people not affected by that, but when the masses start to spread ideas, everyone get influenced. Even facts about the history could be changed and the worse thing when it's related to medicine when the thing that hurts will me promoted as a medicament as the vaccine or a healthy thing will not be appreciated as just getting out to breath fresh air or to meet other people to not have the collective immune system. In the end only those with critical thinking stay healthy. Not only in term of the body but even emotional and psychological health.
When they see all that manipulations and provocations not working and all that information doesn't affect some people, they decide to use an other tool and that's the wealth. They stat to replace concepts and values. Among those intelligent people, always some will be found to support them in spreding what they need among the population. Such people will be bribed or maybe put in that situation where the only way to survive is to be sold. Maybe the world soldier is created from that. Usually the government give them everything they need to be protected by them. That's how brains may fall in the trap of spreading fear among others to make them obey the system. Knowing that you may protect yourself from being used because such people maybe in need for a certain period of time. When the system will not be in need in them anymore, they may thrown as a used garbage.
And the final chance to make your brain accept what's spreaded is to make you be afraid to get arrested by creating new laws everyday. When you may give up on your brain and you will have two choice. Or to be like others and support everything they believe in or to be depressed and losing hope from this world. But, in fact you have an other choice and that's to spread the truth you know and don't care about being called a covid dissident or even worse and that's the public enemy. Not always accepting each law is being good to society. Laws are created by people like you and they may be discussed and voted for.
That's how hard could be to protect our brains from being affected. Maybe that's why we shouldn't take everything arround that seriously. We may lose our minds that way.
Just live your life and enjoy it. We live only once and we have to care about ourselves !
Your mind belongs to you only. Have the clearest image about the world. Don't let anyone or anything play with your brain !

@clixmoney you are right,the media do have alot of effect on a person and it could determine how they behave in the society....
If you call Covid-19 a "simple flu", you'll lose credibility to those you're talking with. The issue is not boolean. It's not one way or another per se. There are several interpretations
A free people will have a much stronger immune system than one who is not allowed to leave their home. The Swedish numbers give us a single data point of a country that never had lockdowns. Covid-19 in death rates is similar to a bad flu year but not as bad as the Spanish flu but a bad flu. There is more to a disease than it's death rate of course, and the symptoms are different.
Instead, don't dispute the virus is real, a better strategy is to fight the measures against it (mandatory masks, unsafe vaccines) themselves. If you claim it's not real, those who would otherwise listen to you will dismiss your other ideas, get the dangerous vaccine and wear a mask all day.
