Genes are controlling their lives. As far as we know, we did not pick the genes that we came with. If we do not like the characteristics we have, we cannot change the genes. That leaves us with an unfortunate conclusion: We are victims of our heredity. Meaning, if there is cancer running in your family, well, anticipate that their gene for cancer is going to affect you and you are going to have cancer or cardiovascular disease or diabetes or Alzheimer’s or whatever those so-called hereditary issues are. So, we are powerless in controlling our biology, because the genes control it by turning on and off, and we have no control over them. A human body is actually a community of 50 trillion cells. the fate of the cell is controlled by the conditions of the environment. The blood composition is really the factor that controls the genetic response of the cell. So then, what controls the composition of the culture medium? The blood. So, the brain is the chemist. I know the brain is the chemist, but what chemistry should the brain put into the blood? The chemistry put into the blood by the brain is a direct complement to the picture we hold in our mind. In other words, the mind’s image is translated by the brain into chemistry, which then goes to the body to create a physical complement to the image in the mind. In ancient terms, back from the days of the Buddha, 2500 years ago, “What we believe, we become.” Basically, our perception changes the chemistry of our blood.– Bruce Lipton, PhD, Cell Biologist, UW Madison and Stanford

Most recent figures from 2022 has 66.1% of the population owning their primary residence. A new record.

Of the "population?" Are they including children if their parents own? Illegals?

They base it on households.

No need to be gloomy. In most instances. And for most people. We live in a great country, imo.

Makes me think. I smell wood burning, or is it neurons burning. I'm confused.

Yeah, that's a stealth Blue Pill meme, or at best Purple Pill. Freedom should show him talking a break from his OLTR to bang a plate or twosome.

Sure, men have to earn a living. That's part of life.

If it said "Go work for MegaCorp, Inc." then that would be blue pill, but there are many ways to earn a living, and lot of them let you retain your independence from BlackRock and Larry Fink.

The greatest triumphs of propaganda have been accomplished, not by doing something, but by refraining from doing. Great is truth, but still greater, from a practical point of view, is silence about truth. — Aldous Huxley in the (circa 1946) Preface to his 1931 novel Brave New World

If those in charge of our society - politicians, corporate executives, and owners of press and television - can dominate our ideas, they will be secure in their power. They will not need soldiers patrolling the streets. We will control ourselves. ― Howard Zinn

No, they will always need the stormtroopers. It is just that with the domination of ideas the public will condone a swat raid on an anti-vaxxer in the same manner the public would condone a raid on child sex traffickers.

We live in a country where 99% of people don't even know what nations our government is killing people in, and where 1/2 the population thinks the propaganda box has "news" on it.

How many people has our nation murdered in the last 20 years, and for what? You have no idea. Ignorance is bliss. I know. I wanted to know, 20 years ago, I wanted to know how the world works, I wanted to understand it. Well I do. Ignorance is bliss, but it relegates you to being farm animal, a human resource, a thing to be used and controlled.

Ignorance is a false happiness.

I hear you. There is unimaginable cruelty in the world. There have been wars where women and children have been killed and politicians (Bill Richardson and Madeleine Albright etc.) supported the killings. Ukraine and Gaza wars don't make sense either. This is how the world is and it will be going forward and we are likely better off because of it and this does sound awful but there is cruelty or more cruelty (Sharia?). There is nothing you, I or anyone else can do anything about the matrix. Sorry. But while I am alive, I will do the best I can to the people I meet before my time is over.

Yeah, we live in a great country within the context of my experience/ignorance/suffering.
