Synopsis

All of my books begin with two questions. Why are things so screwed up? How can such a screwed-up mess seem so normal? And this book focuses on a third: Where do you begin, and where does your conditioning end? This book explains and examines the war to control your thoughts and mental processes by controlling your perception of the world. It begins when we are born and continues throughout our lives. We are the most conditioned society in human history through a combination of generational indoctrination (religious and ideological), a background narrative of white and male virtue, a simplistic and slanted telling of our national story, a captured media, and a powerful propaganda machine. There is no known external defense against this immersive shaping of our perceptions and, through it, control of our decision-making processes. It is only by building an internal defense that we can regain control of who we are and create an interface with reality, rather than the conditioning matrix of propaganda and societal compression. In a conditioned society, evolving toward intelligence, as opposed to survival for survival's sake, is revolutionary.
