As you might have noticed I sometimes post about political and economic issues. The reason for this is that I think these are areas where a lot of people are indoctrinated into a particular paradigm and don’t realise that a lot of assumptions they have are not immutable laws of the universe, but are in fact quite arbitrary.

For example, if you’re a little confused about what’s going on with the world economy at the moment then I recommend you watch these excellent videos. Now I don’t know whether it’s all part of some world wide conspiracy as seems to be the conclusion of these videos, but it is still a great introduction into how the banking system works.

I post videos of optical illusions and psychological experiments because it shows the limits of our perception and cognition of the universe. They make you aware that what you see and what is out there in the world is not necessarily the same thing, the map is not the territory as they say. This isn’t limited to material objects. It works just the same for concepts, ideas and beliefs, ways of living and being.

So if you find yourself having a negative emotional reaction to anything you see in these videos or instantly dismissing it as a crack-pot conspiracy theory, please consider that you are unconsciously protecting your current idea of reality. Something which might not be serving your long term best interests.
