“Those who tell stories, rule society”- Plato

Those who understand meta-cognition can exploit those who don’t understand it. If you can manipulate society at the abstract layer of meta-cognition, you can program society.

A Harsh Truth is humans are highly programmable with our flexible & malleable cognitive software. It’s why propaganda, fake news, PsyOps etc steer many in a certain direction & accept certain narratives.

The individual needs to be conscious of it, to take action & control of it.
