The Traps of Society
Society, driven by modern capitalism, is structured to exploit individuals' lower self and keep them trapped in low consciousness patterns. Business and marketing create optimized systems to trap the lower self because it is good for business. This results in a society heavily influenced by low consciousness behaviors and desires, such as seeking sex, validation, power, and entertainment.
The Battle for Attention
Businesses prioritize capturing people's attention as it directly translates to power and money. The marketing industry strives to keep individuals distracted and absorbed in low consciousness activities through various mediums, including ads, social media, TV shows, and gossip. Society is a constant battle for attention, with businesses investing millions to secure your focus and sell you their products.
The Exploitation of Chimp Parts
Businesses and society exploit the primitive aspects of human nature, commonly referred to as chimp parts. These include the need for sex, power, status, entertainment, validation, security, love, vanity, and gossip. Marketers create products and services that directly appeal to these lower self-desires, leading individuals to unconsciously fall into these traps.
Taking Control of Your Life
Despite the pervasive influence of society's traps, individuals have the power to resist and lead authentic lives. By becoming aware of these traps, renouncing certain habits, and dedicating time for self-reflection, individuals can break free from societal distractions and discover their true selves. This requires courage, independent thinking, and emotional labor, but it ultimately leads to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
