Most people do not have original thoughts. They think they do, but their minds are just loops of external programming — media, social trends, algorithms feeding them what to believe.

The mindless consume content. The wise curate their inputs. If you don’t actively control what enters your brain, someone else does.

Every book you read, every film you watch, every person you listen to is installing software in your mind.

Ask yourself: who is programming you? And more importantly — is that programming serving you, or enslaving you?
