How are normies programmed ?
Circular validation is used to make the programming nearly impenetrable:
-Media cites ‘experts’
-Experts cite peer-reviewed studies
-Studies are funded by industry
-Industry shapes media coverage
-‘Fact-checkers’ cite media consensus
-Academia enforces approved conclusions
Each component validates the others while excluding outside information. Try finding the entry point for actual truth in this closed system. The normies simply outsource their opinions to ‘authoritative sources.’
Most disturbing is how willingly they’ve surrendered their sovereignty. Watch them defer:
“I follow the science” (translation: I wait for approved conclusions)
“According to experts” (translation: I don’t think for myself)
“Fact-checkers say” (translation: I let others determine truth)
“The consensus is” (translation: I align with power)
