If You Are A False Don't Entry
think whatever the fuck you want. I have been thinking about the nature of humanity. We like to tell people who they should think and when they are wrong we berate them and shit. I hardly ever see anyone just saying that we can think whatever the fuck we want and then just shutting the hell up about it. I think that the problem isn't that anyone actually cartes about what other people think. I think that the problem is that people are concerned with social control. That's because when someone thinks something that doesn't suit humanity as a whole then people are quick to try to control it.

It's like a big lumbering beast trying to find it's legs so it can support the massive weight of itself. That's how I picture humanity. I think we should stop trying to keep everyone else in mind and trying to lift up this big heavy burden that we call a society. Maybe I'm just projecting on a lot of people but I think that it would be nice if no one was told what to think. Teach us things that are factual about the world, but let everyone for their own opinions and stuff. What really scares me is that people want to be comforted by people telling them what to think. When you turn on the news people are just telling you directly what they think. And the people nod their heads in agreement.

So that's my problem is that it seems like no one is really safe from other people's prying minds. We all have these big arguments in our society, but I wonder what society  would be like if everyone started being a little more self centered and stopped minding what other people think. I think if people minded what they think instead of what everyone else thinks then we could all form a stronger society in general. People always seem to be trying to impose their knowledge and wisdom on each other and what I find is that society is pretty sanctimonious. People are told that they should think a certain way and then they get so confident with what they think that they think they are smarter and more right than everyone else. That is the problem with people not being able to think whatever they want.

I wouldn't look at this as mind control as much as I would look at it as manipulation. As much as you think you are safe from anyone prying into your brain and projecting some sort of thought altering signal, it actually happens. Just through the words that other people say, which can unwittingly change your thoughts. Just look at all the religious people. The only reason they believe in the stories of the bible is because the read it and they're told that it's true. They can be dissuade just by hearing someone disagree with what they think. That is why religious people get so defensive when you try to attack their ideas. That's because what religion is isn't really just an idea, it's a belief complex that is formed out of a bunch of other beliefs. Try tor refute someone who is into science and they will just laugh. That is because no one's core values or beliefs are based on science. Science is just an ever changing way of looking at the world.

reminds me of something I once wrote:

Society is a great lumbering steed; men of thought forced to ride, with much coaxing indeed.
