The Lab Rat That Survives Is The One Who Escapes<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To prosper, break free of society’s efforts to control you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re feeling like a lab rat in a science experiment, manipulated by shadowy forces for unknown purposes, that\u2019s because you’re waking up to the reality of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a nation of lab rats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tough news to hear, I know. But it\u2019s true, nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re subjected to daily doses of propaganda and social conditioning, reinforced by technology, designed to:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. distract and burden us by keeping us consuming as much as possible, preferably while taking on debt to do so<\/li>
  2. keep us isolated and socially fractured, to prevent any effective organization against the existing system of power and control<\/li>
  3. block information that might make awaken us to the various manipulations in play <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ve written consistently about these forces over the years seeking to help you see the structure of the cultural walls that contain us all<\/a>. I’ve been doing this because achieving success, as well as finding deeper meaning and purpose in life, rests upon increasing our awareness of the forces shaping our beliefs and actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This includes being aware of the propaganda<\/a>, the sophisticated marketing ploys<\/a>, and the controlling nature of our dominant cultural belief system<\/a>. Once you can recognize them for what they are, you free yourself from their influence over you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These systems of diversion and distraction have gotten orders of magnitude more potent over the recent years, pacing with advances in technology.  Our brains’ biological wiring is so well-understood now that it’s routinely used against us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, at one particular video gaming company, as part of their orientation, newly-hired developers are required to attend a \u201cdopamine boot camp\u201d in which they learn the best ways to deliver paced rushes of “brain pleasure” chemicals to video game players. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
