When you see people you trust on social media supporting something, maybe you don't trust the information but you trust your friend or family member so the info is trusted by default.
I wonder what would happen if this tactic was used against humans in a grand science experiment. Take for example scientists can't convince youth to participate in their experiment so they reach to my generation.. "Get fucked!" We said. So they reached for my mothers generation by first reaching for her parents generation—seniors, elderly folk.
The one's who were first in line.
They used to tell people, "Never put your personal information online." There was so much paranoia around that it even meant some were afraid to touch the internet.
Then suddenly your friend is asking you to be their friend and you're like, WTF? We're already friends. And they show you this Facebook thing. They put their name on there, and they didn't die. Then, "Holy fuck I wonder if so and so is on here from way back when!" And you can't reconnect if you don't use your real name, because they won't know who the fuck you are. So look how easy it was to put a name and face to everyone online. That was no accident. And people were only putting their faces on because suddenly 'selfies' were the cool thing to be doing. So you can say one ELITE did that to everyone but really, the people did it to themselves. And of course it's not their fault they suddenly have privacy concerns. Are corporations spying or are they simply browsing what was given to them?
Years later now my parents on this damn thing. Mom never gave a shit about politics her whole life. She couldn't even put CNN down while that election was going on. And If I dared say anything about the existence of possible brainwash, of course that can't happen to her. Just like everyone else is immune. Just like the people on the other side think they're immune because they get their information from anything but mainstream media, therefor it can't possibly be brainwash. But it is. Want to see how EASY it is to place a thought within someone's head? I just did it to you.
Dope.
So what you're saying is this isn't the time and place to ask if you have siblings? More specific, are you a third child?
Second of two.
Scared to touch the internet to political gurus. Well played.
Last child woulda been my next guess.
I have an older bro. He's not like us, mentally. Special. But still very capable. Just needs a nudge in the right direction from time to time. No curve balls.
A good friend of mine has an older brother who's, I don't even feel comfortable typing it, special. Not that he and your brother are any comparison.
Made my homeboy super sharp, he's actually one of the sharpest dudes I know and one of two people I would trust my life with if they told me "it's de energized." 22 years in my craft I only trust my eyeballs when it comes to de energized equipment. But I trust Tony.
I feel bad for his mother regularly. She takes care of his brother, her eldest son, all day, lives with her. He needs assistance. But every once in awhile he vanishes, happens a couple times a year and he'll be gone for days at a time, even a week. Then he's found somewhere on the side of the street and doesn't know where he is, who he is, how he got there, anything. Couldn't imagine what that does to his mother.
I realize this is way off subject, I just don't care.
Growing up, my older brother was basically my younger brother. Still lives with my parents on a farm. A bowl of cereal and The Price Is Right, every day. You don't mess with that.
I'm speechless.
When I posted I was hoping for some interesting insights from some of the brightest people I've encountered on Hive.
I got all that and more in this thread alone, @nonameslefttouse , @dandays , lol.
If I were to attempt to sum it up it'd be:
"Society's playing a giant, twisted game of 'broken-telephone.'" 🤣
Thanks for weighing in, appreciated.
Of course man, my pleasure. Thanks for the inspiration. I appreciate the opportunity for a one on one like that with any of those names you dropped.
Even if they don't know wtf their name is.
LOL! 🤣
