For most of your life, you’ve been fed a constant stream of lies, lies that have poisoned your value systems, purpose, and passion in life; it’s what’s obviously poisoning the community around you, and it’s why, deep down, you feel so lazy, so meaningless, and so lonely. But you and your community are not the only ones; in fact, all over the world, we are all being constantly misled and lied to from the moment we are born; the institutions of the planet own us. They give us a number and enter us into a system that traps us and is so stealthy that most people don’t know it exists. From television to the internet, groceries to healthcare, and politics to religion, our lives are not our own. And deep down, as much as you may not want to believe it, you know this to be true.

You feel it, don’t you? You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, and like some kind of neurological itch, an itch you cannot scratch, it’s driving you mad, compelling you to just want to escape from it all by checking out from reality.

It’s all around us, attempting to manipulate and cloud your mind, fuelling your need for escapism. You can see it when you’re watching television, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and pretty much any other social media platform you can think of. You can feel it when you go to work… when you go out in public… when you call a customer support line… even when you look at people on the street… It is the false reality that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth… that you are a puppet.

Have you ever wondered why people seem to be getting dumber than ever before? Or why so many companies pretend to be progressive but still do horrible things? This book delves into such inquiries, offering insights and perspectives that challenge conventional wisdom.

We live in a time where stoicism and rationality are seen as antiquated and even harmful. Instead, we are encouraged to normalise the symptoms of mental illness while endlessly ignoring the real harm it is causing. And yet, more and more of us are looking out at our culture and society and feel like we are observing a psychiatric ward and thinking to ourselves, “The world’s gone mad!”

In today’s discourse, terms like trigger warnings, safe spaces, microaggressions and unconscious bias are frequently employed, reflecting a broader societal emphasis on empathy and inclusivity. However, some may argue that these concepts have become overused or misapplied, leading to debates about the balance between sensitivity and freedom of expression.

This book endeavours to navigate these nuanced discussions, shedding light on the intersections of politics, economics, and social dynamics. It encourages readers to critically examine prevailing narratives and consider alternative viewpoints, fostering a spirit of open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity.

Through a multidimensional exploration of contemporary issues, this book seeks to broaden perspectives and prompt meaningful dialogue. It invites readers to engage thoughtfully with challenging topics, challenging assumptions and fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities inherent in modern society.

Ultimately, this book aims to provoke introspection and inspire positive change, encouraging readers to approach life with newfound awareness and a renewed sense of purpose. It invites readers on a transformative journey, promising to expand their horizons and leave a lasting impact on their worldview.

After reading this book, your perspective on life and society will irrevocably change, and you’ll never be the same again.
