Everyone Is Already Indoctrinated
Yes, you.
Yes, me.
Yes, everyone.
I want you to take a look at your screen time on your phone today. Just a quick peek — it can't hurt.
If you're an average person, it’ll be over four hours. That’s fucking insane.
You have, at most, twelve usable hours every day — and you spend a quarter of that time doing what, exactly?
Can you remember?
Where did that time go?
Try to tally up — mentally — all the time you spent on your phone.
Does that feel like four hours a day for the last ten years?
No, it doesn’t.
And if it does, maybe I can’t help you.
But if, by chance, you feel there’s something deeper — something more raw than the life you’re living —
you’re correct.
I want you to do one more thing:
Ask yourself — what decisions have I made today?
Did you decide to shower later?
Maybe you picked somewhere new to eat?
But did you really make that decision?
How do you know?
We’re given choices every day.
But most of them were placed in front of us long before we ever saw them.
The food. The clothes. The routes. The music. The news. The moods.
It’s all a pre-approved list.
Is that freedom?
No.
It’s a script — written to blind you from seeing who you really are, and who you desire to be.
See the Water You're Swimming In
When you're born in water, suffocation feels like life.
Everything around you was designed.
Even rebellion is part of the system — designed to simulate change.
Made to make you feel as if you've broken free,
while still keeping you exactly where the system wants you.
Your tastes.
Your opinions.
Your distractions.
All shaped long before you ever called them your own.
The algorithmic takeover of the human psyche doesn’t just feed your attention
or satiate your boredom with novelty —
it molds your identity.
And somewhere along the way,
it cuts the tether between how you perceive yourself
and who you really are.
You might never stop hearing your voice —
but you stop asking yourself what you want.
The algorithm is faster. More entertaining.
It will hand you your wants and desires
before you even have a chance to feel stillness —
or discover real desire.
So you lose that connection to yourself.
Not in some dramatic, tragic way like any other drug might.
But in a slow erosion.
A quiet disconnection
that leaves you in limbo.
That’s why so many people feel lost.
Stuck.
Hopeless.
It’s not just laziness.
It’s not just burnout.
It’s the fundamental decay of autonomy.
The replacement of desire… with algorithms.
You know something is wrong.
You feel it.
But every action — every attempt to fix it — feels exhausting.
Not because you lack the desire to change.
But because everything you do is dopamine-dependent.
Your motivation. Your creativity. Your direction.
Hijacked.
Hijacked by systems designed to feed you just enough
to keep you passive.
You’re not broken.
You’re just trying to catch your breath
in a world that’s underwater.
Solution
You don’t need to change your life tonight.
You don’t need to burn it all down.
But I want you to realize.
I want you to know.
That’s it.
That’s the beginning.
And maybe, for now
it'll be okay
