CHASE HUGHES: And that's not persuasion. That's not influence. It's programming. That's absolute programming.

Social media is rewiring human beings faster than any hypnotist alive could even dream about.  That little screen in your hand right now, or maybe your TV, or your laptop, that is the laboratory for all of this stuff, and you are the rat.  If you had some little piece of resistance inside you that says "Maybe not me," that's probably just ego.  The experiment that we're all a part of it's triggering amygdala, it's echo chambers, it's massive amounts of repetition, and it becomes our identity over time.

There are three things that flip a script in a human being's head.  The first thing is isolation.  If I have somebody in isolation, we're missing some key base levels to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.  There's no real tribe.  There's no real safety. There's not a lot of belonging.

Level 2 would be an echo chamber, and this is a placebo of social connection online, a placebo of information, and it feels like truth but it is just engineered bullshit.  

And number three is massive repetition.  So this is just rage on a loop until it burns into somebody's nervous system.  And that's not persuasion.  That's not influence.  It's programming.  That's absolute programming.

"We'll pay you to go home." Suddenly thousands of asylum seekers wish to return home. Unfortunately, thousands of asylum seekers will just be taking the money and just be hanging around for Act II

ONE. BIG. MOOSE.

SAMA HOOLE: Our ancestors didn't go searching for salt licks, because meat has all the sodium we need.

SAMA HOOLE on BEANS: The lectins survive cooking and damage gut lining. The oligosaccharides ferment into gas. Cheap protein that makes you fart and inflames your intestines.

Well, there goes my bean and cheese burrito.  But think of the benefits--a healed gut.
