RE: Programmed and Molded to be Cogs in the Machine

in #philosophy6 years ago

Well said. We're being deceived like magicians trick us, and we keep wanting more. False dichotomies are set up and manipulate us into preselected pathways for how our existence operates. We are stuck in boxes, be played, while thinking we're free, and this prveents us from actualizing greater potentials for ourselves and others together.

Sort:  

I don't even know if we can ever fully comprehend the depth of our programming. Folks like those in the "truth and freedom" movement have come a long way, and we may also add some of those focused on spiritual enlightenment, but the software is installed so early, getting it all out seems a dubious prospect.

And on some level, this is appropriate - conditioning is inherent to human experience, even if only by the natural environment - but we must be vigilant; particularly while immersed in this artificial construct called culture.
