👁️ Have you noticed there’s always a news story or social post for whatever you want to believe—especially if it’s negative?
I’ve accepted the reality that I will inevitably consume something that’s false, despite my best efforts to do otherwise.
❌ My safeguard against the damage of developing a false world view is refusing to let this ocean of random information mold me.
I do the opposite: drowning myself in resilience, beauty, civility, curiosity, romance and all the things that make me love humanity.
🌟But this works best if you’ve taken the time to examine your beliefs and know your North Star even in the dark.
That’s why I always come back to virtues and principles.
They’re what keep me focused on truth, compassion, courage, freedom, and love even when the world feels like it’s throwing the opposite of all that at me.
💡What’s helping you brainwash yourself better lately? Give me the movies, music, books, people, or things that keep you in the right realm.

This is a very good take but to brainwash yourself, you need to first understand that you have choices and due to the fact that a lot of people operate on the automatic process of „desire-action“ with no real questioning why the desire emerge in the first place and whether the desire is benefits them deeply, superficially or temporarily, it’s only understandable to those who understands my previous points.

While reading what you wrote, the local AM radio station was coming back from a commercial break and Billy Joel's Keeping The Faith was playing (😉). I'll admit that I look forward to listening to certain ppl (talk radio and X Spaces, etc) speak on the dysfunction that is humanity and can't go too long without tuning in to the madness. But, I have a filter that's better than them old-fashioned cloth coffee filters that our Grandma's probably used and don't allow it to affect me. More exercise and better sleep are my only recommendations. 😊

I take it a step further and when somebody tries to propagandize me with brainwashing that wpuld be harmful to myself, I mark them as an enemy and try to hurt them whenever possible. This gives then the correct incentives
