I wanted to call this ''Your brain is your weapon''. But after looking for a free picture to use for the main page, I've found this one and decided to write about a vaster topic.
Of course, our brain is the best organ we have in our body. It's the most complex, it needs more vitamins and minerals and even oxygen and water and more components we may don't know about. It also requires training by thinking and solving problems. It demands as well the rest to recover. It has also many enemies, from inside as the instinct and emotions and from the outside as bad influence. That's why it needs to be protected !
So, I mean by bad influence a lot. First, it's all your surroundings. Starting my your family and ending by everyone you meet in your life. But, in the end, you grow up and start to analyze everything and decide what to do with your life. Even that decision could be already affected by hidden factors. So, you get influenced by more powerful impacts. Most of them are coming from your government. Besides that, you still have to be aware of the effect of every single one surrounding you.
One of the most powerful tools to influence your brain is the media ! That's why in the main picture you see the newspapers and TV. That's not everything because we have now the information everywhere. The message could be hidden even in the advertisements. Even the web and social media are affected. Knowing that is the first step to be protected. It's the base of your shield. If you don't believe in that, you are already defenseless !
I wouldn't write about TV because when the internet was created I thought that already most people moved to the web. I thought that only a very little part of the world watch it at all. I thought that its influence is so low. But, in fact, I was more than wrong. The reality showed totally the opposite. Most people still watch TV. Some of them even think that's the most truthful source of information. They take everything from TV as a fact. That's very sad. I realized that from the year 2020 when most people wore masks that easy. Most of them believed that the virus is so deadly, and they may wear those masks even outside when no one is around or in a close car driving alone. The TV made them believe that a simple flu should bring a new habit in their lives to not breathe fresh air and to absorb their own toxic gases, what leads to worse health problems and reduce the immune system. That what really makes any virus deadly, not the virus itself ! The funny thing is we even have those people here on the blockchain who will argue and may tell me I'm wrong. I'm almost sure about that. That's how the TV may even hurt your brain. It could make you a zombie that believe in everything shared there without doing your own researches. That's why in Russia they call the TV a ''zombie box''. It creates them, and they may really eat the brain of others by spreading the false information.
Of course, any weapon to attack your brain may use the mass media. That in the first stage the news, then in TV shows, as well as documentaries, films and series, and it could even hide in music. They even use social media to promote what they need, and any other applications used by the masses. Those are all tools of control. There could be even people not affected by that, but when the masses start to spread ideas, everyone gets influenced. Even facts about the history could be changed and the worse thing when it's related to medicine when the thing that hurts will be promoted as a medicament as the vaccine or a healthy thing will not be appreciated as just getting out to breathe fresh air or to meet other people to not have the collective immune system. In the end, only those with critical thinking stay healthy. Not only in terms of the body, but even emotional and psychological health.
When they see all that manipulations and provocations not working and all that information doesn't affect some people, they decide to use another tool and that's the wealth. They start to replace concepts and values. Among those intelligent people, always some will be found to support them in spreading what they need among the population. Such people will be bribed or maybe put in that situation where the only way to survive is to be sold. Maybe the world soldier is created from that. Usually the government give them everything they need to be protected by them. That's how brains may fall in the trap of spreading fear among others to make them obey the system. Knowing that you may protect yourself from being used because such people maybe in need for a certain period of time. When the system will not be in need of them anymore, they may be thrown or used as garbage.
And the final chance to make your brain accept what's spread is to make you be afraid to get arrested by creating new laws every day. When you may give up on your brain, and you will have two choice. Or to be like others and support everything they believe in, or to be depressed and losing hope from this world. But, in fact you have another choice and that's to spread the truth you know and don't care about being called a covid dissident or even worse and that's the public enemy. Not always accepting each law is being good to society. Laws are created by people like you, and they may be discussed and voted for.
That's how hard to protect our brains from being affected. Maybe that's why we shouldn't take everything around that seriously. We may lose our minds that way.
Just live your life and enjoy it. We live only once, and we have to care about ourselves !
Your mind belongs to you only. Have the clearest image about the world. Don't let anyone or anything play with your brain !

Our minds are our greatest weapons but what happens when this weapon is polluted by that we see? The mind is great but fragile. Well, the media has a really large influence on the shape of our minds, whatever see influences how we think and how we tend to behave in the long run. Is there any solution to what the media is doing to us? I don't think so.
