What happens to a pair of jeans if you wash them twenty-five times per day? They soon become weak, floppy, easily twisted, and full of holes.

That is what happens to the minds of Americans soon after their cradle-to-grave brainwashing begins.

Unlike jeans, it is possible for a mind to heal, but an absolutely necessary precondition for that healing to to completely tune out western corporate mass media.

All of it!

No TV, no radio, no movies, no browsing the headlines on Google News, and only reading books written more than a hundred years ago or by people from cultures radically different from your own.

Spend minimum of a year away from the corporate mass media mind programming.

Then you have a chance at healing your mind from the damage done to it by the corporate elites, but even then only a chance.

Even better, stuff some spare underwear in a backpack and hop a flight to some country far away where you don’t even know the local language. Spend a year living solo there like a refugee and depending upon the kindness of the locals you run across (Surprise! Unlike Americans you will find them to be kind!). Stay until you learn real humility. Stay until you fully experience and recover from culture shock. Stay long enough that when you do return, the programming you see on the Plato’s Cave displays lining the terminals and concourses of the airports you transit trigger real cognitive dissonance.

If what you see on TV after trying to purge and heal doesn’t trigger nausea-inducing cognitive dissonance, then your brain is still fried.
