Psychological Programming

Are You Being Programmed To Respond In Certain Ways

And what to do if you find that you are!

Computers respond to things in a certain way. It’s because of their programming. Games we play yield a certain result based on our input, allowing us to win or lose. So, why not people?

The current world is inhabited by the most programmed generation in our history. And sadly, most people can’t see that they’re being programmed. People go on about their days, and inevitably, they do what they’re programmed to do, think what someone else wants them to think, and respond based on input. This is the way a computer responds to the people using it, whether it’s a desktop or a cellphone, a video game or a casino game.

Programming Humans

Programming a human isn’t as complex as you might think. All it requires is a route to input information, a way of reinforcing that information, and knowing what you want the response to be. To understand how humans are being programmed, first consider the method of programming.

While humans aren’t computers, they’re programmable through exposing them to repeated stimulus, or information. And it’s that repeated information that becomes the core of their beliefs. To do this, one needs to be able to depend on humans not always checking or questioning the information they are exposed to.

Repetitive Exposure is the term for convincing people of wrong things. By repeatedly exposing people to things, reinforcing messaging, and pushing the narratives, people begin to think differently. Ask yourself: how many times have you heard scary terms about leaders?

By repeatedly issuing the message that this person or that group is bad, you can convince people that it is the truth.

For example:

• Pedophile
• Rapist
• Fascist
• Nazi
• Criminal
• Dementia
• Racist
• Etc…

Out of those words, there is zero evidence to support any accusation other than criminal. People choose to believe it as they’re exposed to it repetitively. That’s because they are buzzwords that invoke the worst in human imaginations.

For more than 18 years, we have been suffering from attempts to program our thinking. And the mechanisms used to program our conscious minds are things we willingly continue using. We are inadvertently giving control over to the people we ultimately aren’t happy with.

Since the advent of social media, we are drawn more and more to our screens. We spend more time online than ever before. This gives the programmers an easy route to change our thoughts.

Consider the last time a politician spoke and said absolutely nothing of substance. They’re not fighting for anything anymore, because they're too busy fighting each other. So they call names, invoke evil words that harken to emotions of disgust, hate, and shame, and they gather their programmed foot soldiers to do their bidding.

To illustrate the point, look at the things that don’t make any sense, and the facts that people consistently want to forget.

For instance, thousands of illegal immigrants were allowed by our government to be in this country. At any time, they could have been dealt with, or laws could have been written that protected the country from the flow of illegal immigrants. But Congress, and many of them have been there for decades, blame everyone but themselves.

Take the accusations against Donald Trump. Yes, the fact is he’s got 34 business convictions and technically is a felon. Some are quick to throw that up, but want to give the benefit of the doubt to people guilty of crimes on their own team. That’s called hypocrisy.

The world has problems, but one of them shouldn’t be people letting things continue down the wrong path.

The wrong path is one where people forget to think for themselves and aren’t willing to see both sides of the story. Because there are two sides to every story. But when only one side of the story is told, and it’s told in a repetitious manner, that’s all those listening will support.

The next time you’re watching the news, scrolling social media, and see our leaders, take a look at how often you see the same messages being put out there, and how often the same things are discussed, with no real direction to escape these perceived problems. If all they have are disgusting words and evil thoughts of history, maybe they don’t have much.

Independent thinking his how we cure ourselves of the effects of Repetitive Exposure. For that, it’s important to start challenging and questioning your own assertions and beliefs. Only then can you escape the effects of this psychological programming being used against you.
