[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Not sure you are understanding what I was referring to though.

But look behind the curtain on any topic, and you will learn a lot about how much you are lied to by the media, culture, people, advertising, politics, etc. etc.

Everything is a con of some sort, and everything is manipulated and spun a certain way for various reasons.[/quote]

Profit, profit, profit. I also remember when physicians were promoting cigarettes. They’re a callous bunch, at least most of them. Buyer beware.

So true.

Camel cigs were heavily marketed by doctors as the preferred choice. Guess they had the best salesmen, or maybe Joe Camel was considered neutral and appealing to the largest demographics.

Cocaine used to be prescribed by doctors for depression. Now it's SSRIs and the amphetamines are prescribed for weight loss. Crazy world.

Even crazier how many people are blind to it all, until the majority figure something out, then suddenly everyone is like "I always knew that!" :D [/quote]
