You've been hypnotized.

Every moment, of everyday that you are staring into the flashing box you
are being sold a reality this is a construct of people trying to sell you
something.

Trying, was maybe 1964, when this was not an exact science. But since then
they have been perfecting their skills and finely tuned their
demographicking the inside of your mind.

They own you. They have carefully modeled your behavior, your pressure
points and all the things that make you decide to do pretty much anything.
Using this information they give you everything you want. Liberal,
conservative, vampires, sororities, football, hockey, car crashes,
statistics, musicals, supplemental insurance, solar-powered blenders,
screwdrivers with miniature built-in radar devices... We consume it all.

To even suggest that the same source that is selling us the Sham-wow can
be relied upon to somehow represent the rest of reality in some meaningful
way is borderline madness, but we all swallow that blue pill. Every.
Single. Day.

"Yesterday This Day's Madness did prepare;
Tomorrow's Silence, Triumph or Despair:
Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why:
Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where."

- Omar Khayyám
