"Society has not been "dumbed down", it has been worked over."
When an individual does not possess the capacity to "self-monitor", we consider this maladaptive. If a person does not have a mature Theory of Mind, it may be a sign of cognitive or developmental impairment. So, then what is Theory of Mind?
Theory of mind is defined as cognitive perspective-taking. Theory of Mind allows one to attribute thoughts, desires, and intentions to others, to predict or explain their actions, and to posit their intentions. No one has direct access to the mind of another. It is typically (if not falsely) assumed that others have minds analogous to one's own; this assumption is based on reciprocal social interaction, the functional use of language, and [the] understanding of others' emotions and actions. All of which are simply mental representations.
Consider that the processes of Theory of Mind are highly faulty because the mechanisms by which we create the standards for Theory of Mind processes are and/or may be dependent upon subjective information. So, that when it is said that reality is crafted, this means that all information (meaning everything that you believe that you know) has been decided upon [by others, others that are also highly flawed and frankly evil]. Your entire existence and everything that you believe that you know about the world is just a subjective mental representation. You as an individual have a subjective experience unique to yourself and to create reality you require the consensus of others. Third Person Perspective.
However, on a macro level these things that we believe (on a larger scale about the world around us and even about ourselves. All of the things that you learn externally of yourself) are controlled by others and are highly subjective too. So, then what part of what we call "reality" actually is reality? We have agreed to participate in an agreed upon reality. Our entire reality is a covert manipulation.
When there are hordes storming and destroying our streets, killing and taking life intentionally (murder), willfully physically hurting others and without remorse often times, mutilating themselves going so far as to undergo reassignment surgeries or plastic surgeries to alter their physical state in order to affect the spiritual state (an impossibility), and engaging in a myriad of self-destructive behaviors, "acting out", it is easy to see that these types of individuals lack the capacity to analyze themselves. Meaning, they of their own devices are not capable of and/or simply do not employ Third Person Perspective.
However, we observe the faulty nature of and/or failure to mature or develop Theory of Mind more often than most other cognitive deficiencies. We observe the phenomenon widely exhibited in society overall nowadays to whatever extent or depth. These two items in particular (Theory of Mind and lack of capacity to employ Third Person Perspective) have been weaponized and used against groups and individuals themselves who having been fed faulty and/or deceptive data on others in order to shape deceiving notions of a specific group or type of individual, no longer employing their own faculties and/or developing the same are rendered solely reactive.
This is how even in our own lives a sociopath operates. The manipulation of Theory of Mind can be best observed on the political spectrum (looking at Left vs. Right polarity (extremes). Then look around you in your own life and see that it is also working there.
When we talk cognitive dissonance, this phenomenon is only possible after a longstanding Theory of Mind manipulation. Essentially, cognitive dissonance runs down stream of Theory of Mind. Theory of Mind is where They got you because it is the data set(s) you were provided that short circuits. They use your own instincts and judgments against you.
Third Person Perspective may be a route back to sanity (reality) and/or out of torment depending upon your state and/or perspective. Society has not been "dumbed down", it has been worked over.
Unbeknownst to far too many, the notions and thoughts that pop into our minds are not our own. If you master the skill of third person perspective, you may well dig your way out of your delusional state to whatever extent or depth it exists. Always apply third person perspective to your thinking, to your thoughts and thought processes. Observe yourself, observe your thoughts. Seems an iron-clad technique but what if your "peers" (for our purposes, those that reinforce your delusions) by whose perspective(s) you consciously or subconsciously deem standard are also flawed? What if those peers that you idealize are just as delusional as you? How does third person perspective assist you then? Can it?
You are crazy. The voices in your head are crazy and all of those you surround yourself with are also crazy. Before you chop your dick off, let's talk this out. Before you have your breasts removed and are forever labeled "zipper tits", let's talk this out. This is self-hatred and the road to an unending torment and torture by those that have led you to your delusional state because They are hateful against you.
Your everyday person is delusional. Lives a delusion of their own making based on many factors but none more so than Theory of Mind. It is the reason that so many are confident that they know what they could not possibly know. Even in your everyday lives. Granted people can only go by their own limited experience but people do not recognize it as being as limited as it is, and for that reason you are made a fool. Your average Conservative for example. Take any Boomer and the level of self-confidence in 'not knowing what you don't know' is nauseating. Tell them who is behind all that we have witnessed, and you will be accused of Anti-Semitism. Take your average "Putin funded Trump" Democrat and mention who actually funded Trump and they never heard of these Jewish names we would rattle off. Sheldon Adelson who? Wait, so the Jews are operating on both sides? Mhm.
Understand, your ideas and notions are governed by mechanisms outside of your control. Some derived from external messaging. Others prompted by the mechanisms and processes of your body that are controlled and/or managed by chemicals and chemical responses (hormones). Most are slaves to the later chiefly so that the external messaging component(s) go hand in hand with physical experience. Just a hunch. This is how psychopaths and sociopaths control others but especially the younger generations. This is how society is controlled and how we got to where we are now.
Again, the strategy of Third Person Perspective may be difficult to employ for a great many whose peers may also be deemed delusional to whatever extent, character or depth. In this case, "don't surround yourself with yourself" is apropos. I understand that people consider being outside of the company of others being "alone" but being alone is no danger to you. It is the influence of others that is dangerous. It has been the blind leading the blind. I am not satisfied with this. We have been worked over in every aspect and function of life. That much is clear.
Delusion atop delusion. What delusions are you participating in? Elections? Whatever job or social bullshit? All of it requiring pretension (Larping - Live Action Roll Playing). Almost to the extent that if you do not play your role, you will anger people. I'm not talking crazy Leftists. Regular people do not appreciate bumps in whatever it is that they deem normative. I have not walked through life participating in the myriad of delusions of those that I have come into contact with and have been disliked for it. My response remains the same even now, "tough shit" because that is exactly what people need. First, to snap out of their own personal and self-imposed delusion(s) and only thereafter can they perceive the greater societal illusion(s) (L.A.R.P.(s)).
If you don't challenge those you come into contact with or yourselves as a natural matter of course, they won't grow, and neither will you. Left unchallenged, the levels and abilities of cognition become stagnant. That is not natural. You are meant to continually grow and adapt. Cognition is no different than the operations of your physical body. Use it or lose it. What I see is stunted cognition on a massive (societal) level with very few exceptions as I travel further through life. Theory of Mind stunted.
I don't want to turn this on myself too much, but people are probably better off not even interacting with me whatsoever because they enjoy the illusions. People are comforted by the lies of society and their social circles. By the lies and deceptions that they have built not only their lives on, but the actual fabric of their psyche relies on these fallacies and misnomers (subjective mental representations). Granted, to some extent it may be unavoidable. However, it is to be avoided wherever and whenever possible.
