So friends, you know this thing called Facebook is a game, yeah? ... and here's the rules! I've been feeding right into it by trying to get discussions on my feed.

Which is ok, because I like getting people talking about serious as shit shit. But when you consider that shadow profiles are kept of people not even on facebook and networks are recorded of different interest groups - just by using an algorithm facebook potentially has the power to influence the actions of the collective group by encouraging interactions between certain people by putting a higher priority on your news feed for their content and also by
introducing new posts from out of the blue from random people that aren't even in your friend's list (it happens).

This is not going down the rabbit hole. This is how group psychology works. You control what content repeats in a person's regular environment you control their mind. Repetition is the master of learning for the mind. You subconsciously incline towards subjects, people and content that has repeated a certain amount of times in your sphere of influence. The more people that are aware of something or have the same content in their subconscious through repetition in their individual environments, the greater that value of information in the group mind.

The individual then accesses their 'intuition' and picks up this repeated information 'high value' information from their believed to be 'individual mind' and believes it to be their own original idea in that moment. (This is where it gets hooooooley!!).

What follows is the 'aha' moment, or 'what a great idea' moment, or 'that looks familiar' or just an immediate uninhibited reaction and vwah-lah! You've 'exercised your freewill'. (Well done! Aren't you clever!)

Facebook is a carbon copy of the subconscious mind, in an effort to control the mind itself... well actually, to BE the mind.

Free will. Ha! It exists?

Oops... forgot.. you're living in a world where everything is free and equal, individualism and agency are real and you are a powerful person capable of singlehandedly changing everything. Just keep telling yourself that 'chosen one!' (what a joke.) (wooo! you're chosen! go and get the monkey!)

Isn't being chosen fun?

"I'm chosen." "I'm special."

(sardonicism is hard to spot on cold hard text, please imply it for me on this post).

LAND OF THE FREEEEEEE!

Answer: To truly exercise free-will (or at least the closest thing to it) one must become aware of every thought process down to a subconscious level and come to terms with every automatic reaction, then we must plan from the bottom up how to get humanity out of this mind-control mess! It's gonna take a few hundred years to get rid of power centralising conditioning. Billions are spent on marketing research and how to control humanity through marketing, there's a reason for it.

How do we become aware? Start counting your breaths, observe your physical body and observe thoughts and emotions that come and go, do it in your day to day, day in and day out over long periods of time. Reprogramming will take years, and developing reliable mental defences to live in this society as it is will take just as long.

Then gather in groups with aims to understand the self better but not obstructing the necessary work of each individual on themselves and focus on the true solution! Then commit to it, no matter how long it will take.

It's quite simple really. lol

ps. Marketing companies pay for higher priorities of their products in algorithms in popular social media. Remember when youtube use to be amazing because you'd get random views from random people because it linked it with other linked content based on an equal algorithm, and anyone could place video responses on any video.

Well, that's over folks. But most still believe the fantasy land of honest social marketing still exists.

Yes, you can 'make it'. lol. Anyone can 'make it'.

lol (yeah right)

'The dream' is a form of enslavement.
