When they see something, they adapt to it as if it happened, even if it's on TV or the phone.

Your limbic system changes how you relate to people. Watching a show where a guy like you says something pro-gay, then gets the girl? Your limbic system now believes (a little more) that girls want you to be pro-gay.

Your reptilian brain reacts to urges and physical stimuli. Watching a show where a White guy says something "racist" and then gets beat up? Your reptilian brain now believes (a little bit more) that it's dangerous to be "racist."

If you watch a lot of TV and social media, your brain is being changed by it. No matter how much you know it.

But if you don't know it, then you just think these beliefs are yours, and always were.

This is why so many White people hate themselves, why parents troon out their own kids, why women believe more than ever that cheating is romantic and spiritual... because the shows make them feel that way, and they have never had the thought of "maybe my feelings aren't telling me the truth."

If you don't know that your feelings can be controlled, then anyone who can give you a feeling owns you. Not even like a slave. More like a robot. You would never even think to disobey, and you would never even know you're obeying.

They just show, you just feel, and then you just obey.

yeah I spelled vagus wrong I don't have time to change it you know what it means

True sure. I'm not sure why people aren't freaking the fuck over ads. Ads are targeted manipulation condensed into the shortest format possible. Even if you don't buy the product you are being molded in ways you can't even conceive. Ads should be made illegal. Watching ads should be considered self-harm.
