which could be applied to the social media platforms, etc.

If you didn't know that that entire structure exists and the names of the people who are central to it, then you don't know that your news is fake. You don't know that your social media experience is changed by them. So I'm not going to say what's good or bad about them. I don't want to get sued for some kind of weird accusation. I'm saying that as a news consumer, if you've not gotten down to the level where you recognize those names and their role and stuff, you really don't know what's happening. Because then the news won't make sense. You'll think it's real. The moment you think the news is real and that the one you watch is the real one and the ones your enemies watch is the wrong one, as soon as you think that you don't understand anything. Everything's confusing after that.

Well, let's talk about brainwashing. I saw a post by a user on X who goes by Kalash something, and I thought it was an interesting thought. And the user said, I've begun to think that education was always supposed to be politicized. People just forgot about this and ended up giving the keys to this henhouse to the wolves, i.e. those who want to subvert the minds of impressionable children. Thus we now have students cheering on Hamas. Now to which I say yes, education was always intended to be politicized. If you do it right, it's politicized. And I would point out that I was brainwashed as a kid, like really, really heavily brainwashed, as were most of you I would say. But I was brainwashed for, let's say, capitalism and loving my country and patriotism and the so-called melting pot.

Now those things have a negative. The culture that I was brought up in, the brainwashing in school turned us into America is great and we can do anything and we'll go over and bomb your people if we don't like you. So I think America went almost too far in saying Americans are special. I'm not sure that was helpful. But the collective brainwashing was very effective in creating enough cohesion in the country and enough capitalism emphasis made you work hard and it worked out. It was good software for the country for where the country was. It was just the right operating system. But it had its flaws because it was successful. And only because it was successful we could stop talking about daily survival and then you start talking about more theoretical philosophical things. And suddenly you say, hey, this system is brainwashing people into a certain system that's not making everybody thrive. Something you didn't talk about until you had the luxury of being able to talk about it. And then people wanted to be flexible because it did seem unfair on some level, people would imagine. And so we've evolved into a different system.

Let me give you an idea of how powerful brainwashing is. So Jewish students at MIT were blocked from attending classes by hostile anti-Israel protesters. Do you think TikTok had anything to do with that? Yeah, there's very good information to suggest that TikTok is where the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish protesters are getting their fire from. So TikTok clearly is a brainwashing thing. But how bad does it get? There was a video of a Palestinian grandmother on something called Hamas TV. I don't know how ther
