- Topic of the week - Our love affair with myths
Are we addicted to myths? Our tendency to seek illusions has to do with our willingness to believe in myths and to forge a narrative. This narrative is a biased interpretation of the things that were relevant in our lives. We need those milestones, which in turn become myths. Thus, those myths are reliefs we are compelled to seek
WHAT IS DESILLUSIONISM?
Mookie Tenembaum is the founder of the Desillusionism think-tank, a philosophy that states:
Reality as we experience it is a teleological narrative, i.e. goal-directed, in which material and illusory parts are confused.
This narrative facilitates and allows the individual to interact out of inertia, in synchrony and in tune with “the other” and “the others”.
This interaction occurs, in turn, escaping from and dealing with an endless string of sufferings and trying to handle them, with the threat of our own terrifying death always on the horizon.

24 min - Topic of the week - Unveiling human nature via the pandemic Part 1: the meaning of "essential"
During the pandemic the question what is "essential" arose. That is to say that "I need" as opposed to "I want". The difference between wanting or needing something is the intensity of suffering that its absence would cause us. Interestingly, I want becomes I need while in our inner narrative.

23 min - Topic of the week - The vaccine: omission accomplished
The only thing we do in life is avoiding suffering. Trusting makes "sleepwalking" smoother for us, because while we "sleepwalk", we do not suffer.

23 min - Topic of the week - The hidden Fourth Estate: The Federal Reserve
An illusion depends on the degree of credibility it inspires. The failure of the democratic states in the fight against Covid 19 exposed the illusory condition of the three branches of government. Only the Fed and the other Central Banks remained as a sort of fourth estate by issuing huge sums of money. Even so, both the Fed and money will reveal themselves to us for what they are: mere illusions.

23 min - Topic of the week - How do you assemble a DIY conspiracy theory?
Tenembaum reveals how to do it step by step. Every conspiracy theory is born from an intention. Being intentional is what gives credibility to what our eyes cannot not see, it allows us to digest reality without facing it. The conspiracy theory both comforts and distracts us, it is part of the relief we get through the narrative that we call reality.
