Think Like A Genius–Use The Mind’s Skeleton Key (Introduction)
You can. Everyone can. It is your cognitive privilege as a homo sapien.
The skeleton key
Contents
A skeleton key (also known as a passkey) is a type of master key in which the serrated edge has been removed in such a way that it can open numerous locks, most commonly the warded lock. The term derives from the fact that the key has been reduced to its essential parts.

Your Brain is Always in Danger — Threats To It Are Everywhere
If you do not reason, you will be unaware of the risks.
Hypnotism Is A Very Real Thing
Watch the linked Youtube video below. It depicts a female subject completely unfamiliar with reason. As a result, she easily has her mind’s numbering system completely distorted. This is partly because the hypnotized woman has allowed her consciousness to be preliminarily disabled. This is a real thing. Imagine a good friend asking you to close your eyes. Most people would. It is like that. This is possible because the subject trusts the hypnotist thoroughly, and her mind necessarily cooperates. Under the right conditions, consciousness can be disabled.
Now, with the mind’s first-line defense down (and while also lacking reason), the hypnotist can freely modify the subject’s thoughts (habits) maliciously. Note that, without reason, we learn entirely from others. So critically, without reason, consciousness is our only “incoming belief” quality control system. It is a massive hackable back door to your brain.
Under hypnosis, the hypnotist can do nearly anything to the hypnotized person’s habits (existing thoughts), even requests that this person might otherwise, with consciousness, reject as either illogical or wrong. In the video, the hypnotist eliminates (momentarily) the number TWO in the woman’s mind. She does it, and the results are amusing.
This subject is not dumb. She is trusting, and that is a dangerous psychic vulnerability.
Cults Destroy Your Ability To Find And Maintain Truth
Now, if you’re up to it, watch “Stolen Youth” on Hulu. See also the review “Stolen Youth,’ About the Sarah Lawrence Sex Cult, Is the Year’s Most Disturbing Docuseries,” on Rollingstone. This docuseries examines a group of college students, lacking reason and subject to extreme psychic manipulation by another unhinged individual, who lose touch with reality. Because the students are intellectually immature, and thus they are unable to protect what they know, they have their minds broken and their young lives horribly upended. It is chilling.
The Cult leader destroys these individuals’ relationships to known truths (parental love, their own true behavior, etc.). This is like disabling consciousness in the hypnosis example above. After the cult leader’s truth destruction manipulation, he is free to “program” other false truths into the minds of his victims. This is how he acquires control of their minds. He, of course, does this to his benefit. It takes years to undo because the students no longer have any “truths” on which to rely. They think that everything they think they know could be wrong. And that’s true.
Dark Persuasion — The Brain “Washers” Want Your Mind
Then, if you are still curious, watch the following:
AI (Artificial Intelligence)
There is only one person who should program your mind: YOU
You do this with reason. Most people don’t reason (except geniuses). They function using habit.
Enable your reason. In time, your thoughts will sharpen. The mind of a genius is simply a sharp cognitive blade. It cuts through the fog of “misinformation” to reveal reality without others
Most people operate in quadrants 1 and 2 of figure 1 above. These individuals are susceptible to mind control by third parties or by their own bad habits (no free will).
Geniuses Instead Halt Habit And Seek Understanding (PURSUE truth–not obtain truth)
Here’s the genius-making outline:
- Delay or deny Habit — This is free will, in fact
- Foster Curiosity — the mind’s reward for pursuing understanding
- Build Conceptual Models — as opposed to perceptual models
- Diversify Your Thinking — expand your mind’s usable space
I won’t give you the details of these bullets now. Instead, I need you to think about the videos above first. Your hidden genius depends upon it. Later, I will provide details in subsequent posts.
Think. Resist jumping to conclusions. Soon, you will understand why.
