Quote by Sol Luckman

“We need to recognize that social media is far more than just a harmless distraction or handy tool. Rather, it has been brilliantly architected as a comprehensive net or web for the mind that can be used to alter our thoughts and behaviors, and from there redirect the creative focus of our attention, usually without our even realizing it.”

“Not all tugs on our attention are benign—far from it on today’s digitized High Seas. It should be obvious, even to those skeptical of most conspiracy theories, that there are individuals and entities ‘from the Deep’ who seek to manipulate our focus for their gain. They exploit our fears, insecurities and desires, bombarding us with negativity and hopelessness, and rarely, if ever, looking on the bright side. Coincidence? I think not.”

“Be wary of information sources that consistently evoke fear, anger, or outrage. Be cautious also of ones that yo-yo followers between such negative states and positive ones, only to repeat this whipsaw cycle again and again. Question the motives behind the messages you consume. I’m sorry to say it, but there’s a good chance you’ll find hidden agendas almost everywhere that don’t support you or humanity. Ask yourself whether the messages directed your way are designed to empower you or keep you trapped in a vicious cycle of always seeing the glass as half full.”

“Look Sami, no one has died from an extra dose of hope, only those who choose to live without it. They die while they are alive,” she answered. “We all live with hope, hoping that God will give us great things, the ones that suit us,” she added. The boy did not find a single word to reply. “You have a friend because of them, I guess,” she said.”

“When you give doomsday or other fearmongering cults your attention, just your attention, simply by listening to their words, and certainly by subscribing to them, sending them likes, shares, follows and even money, you’re offering up your precious power in promotion of Doomsday.”

“When you invest your attention in a particular line of ‘truthing,’ you’re choosing to buy into (energetically support or pay for with your attention) somebody (or something) else’s narrative, simple as that. We can easily extrapolate this dynamic even to works of literature, movies, shows, music and other forms of mind manipulation on whose altars you offer up the sacred gift of your attention. When you think about it this way, human sacrifice is more prevalent today than ever!”

“This ‘reality’ is so obviously unreal. It’s like bad screenplay writing. No matter how many times you see the same tired script playing out on the world stage, if you can manage to think for yourself just a little, it’s simply not believable.”

“Specific reifications are variations on this general theme. Marriage, for instance, may be reified as an imitation of divine acts of creativity, as a universal mandate of natural laws, as the necessary consequences of biological or psychological forces, or, for that matter, as a functional imperative of the social system. What all these reifications have in common is their obfuscation of marriage as an ongoing human production. [...] Through reification, the world of institutions appears to merge with the world of nature.”
