So, what are the real reasons behind this global pandemic lockdown? My belief is that the real reasons behind the global pandemic lockdown was a global coordinate effort to instill mass learned helplessness among the vast majority of populations worldwide. Learned helplessness? What is learned helplessness you may ask? Learned helplessness is a theory invented by psychologist Martin Seligman in which Dr. Seligman postulated that one could condition passive behavior in a test subject by exposing the subject repeatedly to aversive stimuli beyond the subject’s control. When the aversive stimuli was withdrawn, the subject then stopped exhibiting attempts to escape the aversive stimuli even after the subject had the ability to escape it. Thus, a conditioned state of learned helplessness emerged that made the subject exceedingly easy to control. Interestingly enough, the theory initially postulated that the test subject's passivity resulted from the subject’s acceptance of his or her powerlessness. However, later studies revealed that a subject’s hopelessness did not result from his or her feeling of powerlessness but resulted from the combination of an exposure to aversive stimuli AND the lack of control over one’s situation. Consequently, it should be easy to understand how our prolonged exposure to aversive stimuli (a viral pandemic that is exaggerated for its severity among healthy populations) combined with a lack of control over this situation (implemented lockdown measures for everyone that amounted to prolonged house arrest for billions around the world) will instill conditions of mass learned helplessness around the world. Again, my theory does not negate my earlier belief that the virus was serious and that measures needed to be taken promptly to prevent its spread and to protect the health of a nation’s citizens.
You can simply view my podcast about how a segmentation strategy for immune-compromised, vulnerable versus healthy, non-vulnerable segments of society would have likely been successful in stopping the viral spread without unnecessarily ruining the financial livelihoods of millions, and perhaps billions, around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnWJ3Ka2tRs
In fact, given that the data we have about this viral pandemic is continuously improving, if a segmentation strategy is not implemented if a “second” or “third” wave of the pandemic hits, then we will know that much of what I have proposed about the purposes of the global lockdown are not theory, but much more probable to be fact. Thus, inducing a state of learned helplessness will undoubtedly be a much more effective means of controlling us in the future than just stripping us of our liberties because so few will understand what is even being done to us.
