FOMO, Social Media and Mind Manipulation

We’re continuing our series on mind viruses and how people and entities seek to manipulate your mind.  Last post we looked at all the conflicting narratives surrounding the MAGA kids video, and how they are being propagated through regular and social media.  Today let’s explore the seedy world of influencers and social media.

We could debate the motives of people who do this.  Are they calculating and conniving, or simply idealists who believe they are on this planet to “save” people with their superior intellect and ideas?  In actuality, their intent or motivation doesn’t really matter.  What matters are the results.  In this case, how you respond to people who want to program you with any set of beliefs.

But at least we’re honest.”

But in order to do that, today’s religious leaders have to agree that everyone is entitled to basic human rights and treated equally under the law. Everyone has the right to think, believe and act as they choose, provided those thoughts, beliefs and actions don’t infringe on the equal freedom of other members of society.
