It’s interesting.

Actually, it’s absolutely fascinating, at least to me, to watch the mind-bending unfold in real-time. Just yesterday, I was enjoying a conversation with an adept individual who did a masterful job of pointing out many of the great ironies of our time:

* Liberals declaring that free speech is a “free-for-all hellscape,” that it was “weaponized free speech” that caused the holocaust.

* Liberals demanding more funding for more war, essentially signing a death warrant for millions more Ukrainian and Russian young men.

* Liberals stomping their feet, protesting, and doing everything they can to stop the gross degrees of government waste, fraud, and corruption from coming to light.

The list could go on, but the point is easily made: every position being taken right now appears to be precisely backwards to everything liberalism used to stand for.

Conservatives beware.

It’s always easier to point out flaws in someone else’s thinking, than it is to examine and identify potential flaws in our own. It’s just a human thing we must acknowledge.

In reality, there are a great many people who will never examine their own thinking, because they lack the maturity and awareness to do so. We might make a generous assumption and say that perhaps 80% of the population lacks the requisite faculty and inclination to thoroughly question themselves, leaving roughly 20% of people who at least have the capacity—though whether they use it or not is another question.

From the angle of psychological warfare (aka psyops), the 80% are basically sitting ducks; they are low-hanging fruit that are easy to pick off and push into accepting any given narrative. Again, I’m being generous here.

Considering the effectiveness of the COVID-19 psyop, it would appear the percentage of people susceptible to being ensnared in abject insanity is well over 90%.

Thus, for those perpetrating the psyops, their target audience would be the 10-20% of people who, in theory, might have the wherewithal to remain independent and critical, as opposed to being assimilated into whatever narrative is being pushed.

In other words, some minds are more resistant to military-grade memes than others. Remember that in the context of memetic warfare, DARPA and the Deep State have the ability to create memes that guarantee the propagation of an idea—but saying that for the umpteenth time today, another angle of reflection emerges.

Properly understood, scientifically speaking, a meme is a “quantum of information.” With that fresh in mind, it’s this little tidbit of information that gives rise to the infectious ideas that then, quite predictably, spread throughout the population.

First comes the info, then comes the idea.

That’s critical, and it’s easy to grasp by imaging yourself going for a walk in the woods. As you are walking along, your mind wanders this way and that, thinking about everything and nothing all at the same time. Think of this as unstructured thought, it’s just the mind doing what the mind does, endlessly.

All at once you smell something. It’s a sweet smelling flower. As you continue walking, the scent grows stronger, and you begin to hear the loud buzzing of honey bees—but you still can’t see the bees or blossoms that they are buzzing on.

Your mind now has a quantum of information, the scent and the sounds, other sensory inputs, and an unfathomable number of mental constructs (cumulated through life experience, education, etc.) that it uses to generate ideas.

The mind uses these ideas to form a story.

There’s a cracking of a branch in the woods up ahead and your heart starts to pound. You remember stories about how bears like honey, and all at once you know you’re
