September 08, 202059 THE TRUTH: News Are Lies
Short Version: you can't believe anything you read in the news

News used to be provided by reporters, now they are created by journalists

Reports are factual descriptions of actual events, by reporters

Stories that you see nowadays are written by journalists

Journals are not reports - they are typically stories writing about feelings

The news has always been "embellished" but it used to have a kernel of truth

Now, "news" completely disconnected from reality

There is no TRUTH in news any longer, so whenever you see any news, start with DISTRUST AND VERIFY, not Reagan's Trust, But Verify.

September 04, 202058 THE TRUTH: Are You Plussing or Minusing?
If you aren't familiar with PLUSSING, it adds to ideas instead of subtracts

A key to the virality of stories is you

If you only share crappy, pessimistic stories then that's what will go viral

In these politically charged times, it would be great if you didn't just "gut-share" every bit of data which outrages you

September 03, 202057 THE TRUTH: Was George Floyd Really Murdered?
George Floyds cause of death has come out and he basically killed himself

I'll bet that the cops are all absolved of any crime and did everything by the book

Now do you see how we are all manipulated by the media?

Even Rudy Guliani said "the murder of George Floyd" during the RNC

George Floyd basically committed suicide. It was a wonder he was still vertical at all with the number of drugs in his system

But will we see a retraction? An end to the violence?

How do you feel knowing that it was all a lie, conveniently edited, and released to trigger all of this?

We can rebuild, but what about all of the lives lost?

Can you see how evil the news media is now?

September 02, 202056 THE TRUTH: How Do You Feel About Sharing Lies?
Do you just share stuff that is fed to you on social networks without checking to see if this is true or not?

How do you feel when you share something that you found out later was a spreader of a blatant lie?

We are all responsible for the sharing of blatant lies on social media

Instead of gut sharing anything which comes across your feed, take a second to research and see if it's true or not

Why not spend a second or two questioning anything that sounds like it's designed to outrage you?

We all have so much access to so much information, it doesn't take long to check a fact - but we don't do it

You are a mouthpiece for sharing information - if you share "fake news", then you are a purveyor of fake news

Before you share anything, spend a second to see if it's true or not

September 01, 202055 THE TRUTH: Humans Are Comparison Machines
Human beings are creatures of variance or difference

We all make judgments of people based on past experience, we can't help it

This is not something we can stop doing unless we remain openminded

The only way to reduce racism is to keep your mind open to people acting in different ways than you are used to

The only way to eliminate racism is to keep your mind open to people acting in different ways than you are used to

August 31, 202054 THE TRUTH: When Did The Democrats Purge "JOBS" From Their Platform
Why don't the Democrats talk about jobs anymore?

I thought the Democrats were FOR the "little guy"

Where is the Democrat's plan for creating JOBS?

Why have they gone from JOBS to HANDOUTS?

When did the class warfare start? Was it the "Squad"

A vibrant economy supports everything, yes even socialist programs

Even leftists elsewhere used to talk about jobs

Even Hillary Clinton used to talk about Jobs only 4 years ago

They don't talk about job creation anymore, its all handouts, intersectionality, racial justice and mismanaging COVID-19

August 29, 202053 THE TRUTH: Gruesome "Hair Gel" Newsom Locks California Down Forever
Our illustrious governor is now forcing us to lock down forever

He wants us to get down to 1 case per 100,000 people before opening

Which is basically saying "we are locking down forever"

Those in Democrat states are screwing us over in a political way

They are not doing what the people want

Once the state has control over you, they will never give it up

We have to push back against these draconian measures

There is no medical or scientific reason, its all political.

August 28, 202052 THE TRUTH: Past Results Can Never Be Repeated
Despite the fact that every successful person became successful largely due to luck, the "success porn" industry is bigger than ever

Anthony Robbins has probably had millions of attendees to his seminars: the only person I know who ascribes some of their success to him is Mark Benioff (Salesforce founder)

It's the same for studies: if you can't reproduce the exact same conditions (which you can't), you will get different results

You need to think critically about every piece of information which comes to you, or you read

People will routinely lie and obfuscate on surveys and polls because they are lazy or they just want to prank you

Bottom Line: When it comes to anything coming from a human, it's suspect

August 27, 202051 THE TRUTH: Stop Telling Me To "Be Safe"
Stop telling me to "be safe"

I'm an adult - I know how to wash my hands too

You are not my parent - and I don't need parenting

Telling people these things infantilizes them and is an insult

This also seems to be the message in every freaking commercial

Just shut up, don't tell me how to live my life and sell your product

I will never tell anyone to "be safe" because I think you are smart enough to know what you need to do

August 26, 202050 THE TRUTH: Social Feeds Are Worse Than Crack
If there was a pharmaceutical which acted as a social feed, it would be banned

Social feeds are designed to find out what your buttons are and then to push them to keep you in a constant state of outrage

This is why Facebook, Instagram, etc drive FOMO and for some, self-harm

These algorithms exist purely to drive you to specific kinds of emotions mostly outrage - they keep you scrolling and viewing and tapping

They want you to be outraged all of this time - which is why most of what you see on these feeds is "fake", designed or presented in such a way as to drive your emotions

How do you deal with this - now that you understand that your feed is designed to learn your buttons then press them, stop letting it - either step away or don't let it bother you so much.
