The Exodus and the Freedom to Think for ONESELF movement.
If you are watching the news, there is a battle going on. It’s between those who consider themselves “our betters” and “we the people.”
COVID, climate change, and the countless other outrages of the media are all designed to provoke your emotions. Beware, emotions sabotage reason. Sometimes, there is an element or two of truth to the alarmism; often, it is misrepresented. What IS true is that your capacity to rationally and individually sort it out is wholly driven by your capacity to manage your emotions. This is SELF-control.
SELF-control is free will.
You see, humans operate in habit. Our day-to-day thinking draws upon what we already know. This is efficient. This is fast. Habit is our brain’s cortex. It is our brain’s cache (a computer analogy). However, to discover what is TRUE, we must pause habit. This is SELF-control. This is your free will.
Those who do not have SELF-control, become inescapably emotional. Emotions are the defense mechanism for habit. Without them (and without SELF-control), nefarious individuals (let’s say the political elite, the CCP (for the Chinese), or the WEF) take control of your thinking.
Yet reason, happily, is on the other side of SELF-control. Only those who can control their emotions can enjoy rationality. Note especially, thinking for oneself can be scary, but again, this is your emotions attempting to drive you back into habit. Resist it.
Learn to recognize this. Learn to control emotions. Develop your capacity to think for yourself and join the 21st Century Exodus.
Let no one think for you.
FYI: the elites will use AI to weaken your independent thinking. This will hasten the conditions for the “antichrist” (an irrational leader committed to the dismantling of civilization).
