Everything In Our Civilization Is Stacked To Keep Us Believing The Propaganda

THE U.S. EMPIRE - FOLLOW THE MONEY
It’s not so much that people buy into the mainstream propaganda worldview because humans are dumb, or because humans are selfish.
Primarily, people buy into the mainstream propaganda worldview because humans are lazy.
By this I don’t mean to say that people don’t work hard enough or don’t stay busy enough; humans sleep less than any other primate on earth, and if anything the world would probably be better off if our species chilled out a bit.
When I say people are lazy, I mean we are lazy thinkers.
And we are lazy thinkers for reasons that aren’t really our fault.
The human brain is wired to select for cognitive ease, which means we tend to favor pathways of thought which require less mental strain in order to conserve energy, probably because our evolutionary ancestors needed all their mental energy for important stuff like finding food and avoiding saber-toothed tigers.
