Theory: anyone who had never been passionate about finding out how something works doesn't have the capacity to reason

we call them useful idiots

IT IS CLEAR AS DAY

we can beat around the bush all we want

but

this is true

Nice perspective. I would argue though that people are maliable and hardly any of us were thought to use our brains full potential. It's sad either way.

When I was young, 7 and on, I would take apart anything that was broken, see if I could fix it. One time I fixed a cd player with a rubber band. The belt was loose, worked perfectly afterwards. I was hacking computer games and a few years later I was Online. I don't think anyone my age was Online then. I rarely told my age to the mostly older guys who were Online.

I now have great capacity to reason and a large distrust against the MSM and Government and certain people.

However there are side effects. I can't shut my brain off, I think faster and respond quicker than almost everyone I meet, so I tend not to be good around people. Not that I am completely awkward, I just don't quite fit in.

And the worst side effect. If I'm not constantly stimulating my brain with new information or at least basic stimulation, I feel bored, and then depressed, and it spirals from there.

I have a TV on in the background even if I'm not listening intently or watching. If I am working, I'm probably simultaneously reading a novel. If I'm on the phone, you've got my full attention but I'm also pacing or balancing on a ball or doing something that doesn't require any real thought.

I'm constantly split between competing thoughts and narratives in my own head. And I spend a ton of time thinking about the past and the future and not enough time living in the present.

Try getting used to being still and don't tell yourself you're bored but rather tell yourself that you're at peace. Acknowledge your thoughts and observe them like a movie. After awhile of watching them as separate from yourself then you will realize you're in control. Then instead of letting them rule over you and tell you what you're going to watch and hear you can reject any or all and have a blank mind, thinking only what you intend to think, a free and peaceful mind.
