The Frightening Truth Behind Mind Control and Social Media

Social media is surrounded by people and companies subconsciously telling you who you should be, how you should look, what you should buy and how you should think.

The truth is, it’s a double-edged sword. It without a doubt has its positives, but you can’t deny the negative. Social media companies are businesses first and foremost, looking to make a profit off you and your data.

They want you glued to your phone.

You must be extremely diligent and purposeful with your interactions with digital and social media.

Binging on digital media is NOT a wise time investment. The only opinions you should care about are from the people you know and trust

Constantly referencing social media keeps you in a semi distracted state and leads you to live a life in your head.

Studies have shown numerous times the link between depression, loneliness, anxiety, and social media.

As humans, we are hardwired with a fundamental need for connection. Social media plays on that core need. It’s great to connect and share with others, but many of us have become programmed to seek validation.

The more you seek validation, the more masters you serve. Socials mess around with the brain's dopamine levels and coax us to constantly interact in seek of empty “likes”. What has alike ever given you other than a dopamine spike?

For example, you might receive an email which appears to be from an organisation who you’re familiar with, asking you to click on a link. At this point you will be taken to a webpage on which you’re asked to submit sensitive data, such as passwords, ...

The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic and the impact on our society has resulted in many dramatic changes to how people are traveling, interacting with each other, and collaborating at work. There are several trends taking place as a consequence of the outbreak, which has only continued to heighten the need for the tightest possible cybersecurity.
