Remove the Mind to Solve Problems
Politicians reflect society's values and shortcomings, indicating that complaints about them may reveal deeper issues within ourselves. The tendency to blame external factors distracts from the understanding that our own self-destructive behaviors can stem from the mind's decision-making process. The mind often leads to poor choices, acting as an unchecked and unreliable problem solver. Acknowledging this, one can benefit from sidelining the mind's authority in decision-making to overcome personal challenges. This insight suggests that the very cognitive processes we rely on to solve problems could instead be the root cause of many societal and individual issues.
