It's amazing how so many people believe the bullshit without thinking for themselves...even asking simple questions we ALL should ask, like "Does this make any sense?" It's a major obstacle to waking up, but I won't give up.
I'm helping a friend move and I was at his house the other day. He asked Siri to look something up for him. He was talking about how great Siri is. "As long as you don't mind Siri listening in on your life" I said. "Naw, man" he replied. "It only monitors when you speak to it." Is there anything flawed with that thinking?
"If Siri's not listening all the time then how does it know when you address it?" I asked. Should I have used "she" and "her" pronouns? "Well, somehow they have it figured out" he said. "Think so?" I asked.
I told him that it wasn't that big of a deal since all our devices are listening in on us, even our TVs. He didn't believe it. "It's in the fine print" I said. "We give them permission when we agree to the terms." He didn't believe that either. So often we tend to think that if we don't believe it then it can't be true, but of course that isn't the case.
A few minutes later something happened that if it didn't change his mind it hopefully got him thinking for himself instead of automatically accepting the "Official Narrative" as gospel, and that's the first step to waking up.
His wife and I were discussing meatloaf variations, and within two minutes she started getting ads for meatloaf recipes, featuring ingredients like Heinz ketchup and Stove Top breadcrumbs or whatever it was.
Her mouth fell open. "I think you're right" she said. "I think so too" I replied. "I never get meatloaf ads. I haven't made it in ten years" she said. "And there you have it" I smugly replied.
Hubby was still not convinced, and said that it could just be a coincidence, which is true, but which I don't believe. He did get quiet for a moment and tilted his head in thought. It's a start. Who knows...he might just find himself waking up one day. He's on his way.
