DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER, DISCLAIMER!!!
There is a world that exists
beyond the calcium reinforced collagen skull-casing that surrounds your brain…
That world out there…
That is reality.
But in reality,
no one lives in reality…
The world you live in is the one between your ears…
Because like it or not,
that’s where you spend pretty much every second of every day…
What you put into your world is all your world will ever be…
And most of what we humans tend to put into our heads
was designed to entertain the brain…
And everything else that goes along with that
is meant to influence the brain…
To buy this,
be like that,
vote this way,
drive that id-mobile,
eat this kind of food
while laughing with a pretty friend who only prefers that brand of beverage…
Brains are being trained
that every problem is easily solved…
and every product is a solution…
So complicated is reality
…and in so many ways that some people actually become curious about it…
Those curious people ask questions…
