most people never question where their beliefs originally came from. almost nobody can trace their beliefs all the way to their true origin. this is something i have been aware of for decades, and is on of our greatest weaknesses as humans because it essentially makes it possible to program us like robots.
my main goal is simply to make people aware of this fact. to make them realize that no matter how strongly they believe something they don't actually know anything about what they believe or why they believe it.
if people understand how manipulated they are the world will be a better place. all i want is to give people a pause so they can use it to reflect and be more open minded instead of simply attacking somebody because we hate thinking and love the feeling of "winning" and are quick to join a fight without considering WHY we are fighting in the first place ...
when i was in college my friend almost choked me to death while we were high on drugs - while he was choking me i asked him why he was doing it - he paused, then stopped - then he admitted he didn't know why - and apologized to me.
reality is humans have this tendency to tunnel on a goal and forget why they are doing it in the first place. if we didn't have this tendency we would never finish anything we started. but even though we need focus to be successful it can also be dangerous.
