Episode 172 – Are They Erasing Our Memory? The War on History & Attention

In this episode, we talk about how memory might be being conditioned out of us by the media in order to 1984 us.

From rapid-cut media to news narrative cycles, have we become a culture that is conditioned for short-term thinking?

We talk about:

• The idea that “what happened” depends on who tells the story
• Ministry of Truth-style updating of history
• The tearing down of statues and people like Father Junípero Serra, and others who have been vilified in recent rewrites

We also talk about how narratives and events are quickly forgotten on purpose:

• Political leadership in Minneapolis covering up fraud with ICE narratives
• How people gravitate toward mainstream explanations

We also delve into how this could be part of a larger agenda:

• Demoralization and the idea of being lulled into a stupor
• Mass MK Ultra-style conditioning
• The importance of remembering in order to recognize patterns and avoid deception

And ultimately:

• How to keep memory alive through talking with your kids
• How to resist becoming willfully ignorant
• How to avoid being duped again

If you have no memory, are you vulnerable to being manipulated and controlled?
