[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't even plan to give it up completely but once you're sober you realize how [b]cringe[/b] drinking is and how the masses are under a spell. I don't even want to be associated with alcohol anymore.

Why do you reflexively need a glass of wine or cocktail right when you sit down at a restaurant? Why do you reflexively need beers at an MLB baseball game? Why do middle aged parents at a travel sports tournament or work conference reflexively need to act like unreformed frat boys and sorority girls?

A hundred million Americans trained to act like [b]Pavlov's dogs. I'm now convinced entire industry is a predatory psyop to ruin lives and dumb the masses down.[/b][/quote]

Oh you have a lot in store for you when you wake up to Pavlovian training PSYOPs. It's not just the liquor industry, it is everything. Everything.

Turn on, Tune In, Drop Out. <-- General philosophy to break away from the Matrix, not to go wild with acid. :D[/quote]

This is such an interesting convo to me! Can you/others recommend some other things to dig into? I definitely am feeling this way about alcohol. [/quote]
Look into how much advertising influenced culture in the 20th century. It's easy to see now how many false ideas were promoted in order to sell things. I say this because it's harder to see what the equivalent is today but it's so easy to see it when it's in the past. There were cigarette ads with doctors supposedly promoting certain brands and things and you can see a lot of baloney (pun intended) and emotional manipulation in food ads as well as many cultural norms used or even manipulated in order to sell things.
