 Today we're gonna talk about something you don't really hear about in this context and that's addiction and how pretty much It's been taken advantage of head to toe Hey there njrew22.com with another odd vlog today. And this is about the addiction for money I guess is a is a good title for it and I find it fascinating because you know I don't think people really think about it in this aspect how The human condition of addiction something that you want and will pay for Has been taken advantage of I think pretty much Completely I think every form of human addiction has been taken advantage of for monetary gain or power or control It's a very bizarre phenomenon like and I'll just go over like some random Forms of addiction like for instance is like street level addiction You know you sell crack cocaine on the street and you have an addicted customer Who's gonna rub beg borrow rob and steal to get more money in your hand for more? Drugs in their body, and that's that's a very low level addiction Which is illegal by today's laws And then there's other other things such as like your ego the human ego is a very Sensitive thing and people love to boost their ego and like some Examples of of the addiction are like the social media apps Self-improvement diet exercise plastic surgery all these people I see all these people running around that are completely You know out of shape and they just want a better image and they buy exercise equipment all that stuff That's a that's a form of human addiction, you know self-improvement and all that sounds silly, but it's it's true And then there's an emotional type of addiction Whether that's you know watching entertainment programs like TV shows or sporting events and They keep you going like they they make you buy monthly subscriptions to Netflix and they produce all these Propaganda spewing shows that you know unknowingly you get addicted to because they're well-written and Obviously have some psychological influence on you and then of course there's the the issue of tribalism I don't know how addictive that is per se, but tribalism You know your sports team your political party even gangs for instance Everybody wants to be a part of some group and then someone's going to take advantage of that group identity whether it's fat people or gender issues or You know sexuality all this stuff it someone's over there taking advantage of the fact that you belong to some sort of group or like some sort of team and So on and of course Food gets is also an addiction because they they get you addicted by putting addictive Chemicals in it like MSG and sugar and all that stuff and then people get Obese and then they have to go to the gym and like don't like look it's like this circular like spiral This feedback loop where they addict you to the food and I talked about this the other day with the drug stores And I called them self-fulfilling pharmacies and they don't even hide it anymore. They They sell the Oreo cookies and then you walk back to the pharmacist and get your obesity drugs or your statins or whatever Else they pump in your body, but they're getting money from you or your insurance company or whatever every single time They feed your pleasure center for food then they take care of your fears by giving you pills to help your illnesses It's like it's it's crazy, but And just think about it could think about all the things in your life that are probably related to something addictive and It's a shame that that there's someone out there taking advantage of I guess that's one of the byproducts of Capitalism it's it's legal you chose to do it, but you are Not identifying with your addiction you identify with all the wrong things accept your addictions, but there are good addictions and You know I talked about some good habits to have for for 2020 or forever for that matter And I guess one of the things you might want to be addicted to or have good habits is keeping your family Safe and prepared for the future whether it's having enough money or supplies or Keeping savings and so on And and if you could be addicted to making sure your children Have a good future and are prepared and can critically think and grow that is a very good addiction to have As long as none of these addictions are good habits become obsessive to the point where they're unpleasant There's a fine line there where you can cross and then it becomes a Detrimental instead of positive And I really do think that most people should avoid almost everything mainstream And it's not easy to and that includes ideas because most mainstream ideas are byproducts of some funnel funneling system That gets you into a certain hole or corner or group It's pretty well thought out that it's hard to escape that labyrinth Without a without a good head on your shoulders and and being able to identify with the problems that are out there and that's it you just Critical thinking and and good observational skills are important and always ask who benefits from this or who benefits from that and then you'll start realizing that that They don't have your best interest in mind with all this stuff So please hit the like the subscribe and stay tuned for another video.
