It's impressive that you were able to deduce all of this on your own. I've read a book or two that pointed me in the right direction. One that I recommend is On Intelligence (amazon.com) by Jeff Hawkins. It's from 2005 so not exactly cutting edge, but the main ideas hold. It will help you fill in the gaps.
Your post raises many interesting points for philosophical discussion. One point is how brain stores information. It's easy to abstract away the brain as an information storage mechanism akin to a hard drive or flash memory. But the brain's way of storing and retrieving information is very different. It's a physical organ made up of cells that form connections to each other, and each cell is a very complex object (each cell is like a city) that has memory. With a hard drive you can easily reformat it or rewrite large parts of it. But how do we do that with the brain and is there even an API to do it? Connections in the brain are strengthened through use and weakened through disuse. When you ask someone to fundamentally change their worldview, those changes must be reflected in the physical structure of the brain. Strengthening the right connections and weakening others takes time and repetition, and the bigger the change, the more work it requires.
Great points. Added book to reading list, thanks!
Your questions about how the brain stores information is precisely how I understand it as well. And, now that you have written that down, it starts to become obvious that we need to start building out social, technological and cultural mechanisms to start re-inforcing what is basically either hidden knowledge, forbidden knowledge or forgotten knowledge.
Conceptually, all of us traveled the same psychological road to get here. I don't think anyone here was born feeling white and looking for a space to think and speak freely. We were all part of normal social groups that eventually became poisoned by parasites and this poisoned environment pushed us out of these groups where we all (probably) tripped on pieces of information and clues that eventually led us here.
I mean, I can literally watch people post on patriots.win little observations of the bits and pieces of information and clues about what is really going on and think to my self, I know EXACTLY where they are in their journey of discover and how long that road will take and how much work it will require to finally get here and see the matrix for what it is.
So, as you said, understanding how the mind stores information is unbelievably important. On all of these alt platforms, most of them are not quite here yet, not quite accepting of the brutal nature of reality. But, all of them are out of mainstream pool of reinforcing behavoiurs and reinforcing ideologies and they ALL are now in a new self directed set of self re-inforcing information and ideological paths.
We have to figure out how to keep on building and strengthening those out and get our people out of the psychological cattle ranches they are locked in.
On my journey, I found the redpilming process exciting and addictive. Exposure to new "conspiracies" sent me into intense research mode, which I found to be thrilling and liberating (of course, shocking and scary, too).
It is so foreign to me how others do not think this way and get that cognitive dissonance eye glaze when you confront them with new info.
The psychology of this is really interesting isn't it? I have noticed that all of this is an ideological one way street. I don't know of anyone that was on our side and went back to believing the left nonsense. As well, the journey seems to have an idelogical end as opposed to a perpetual journey. Those that start on the left end up here because they live in a fantasy world and the reality of our species is that the root of our happiness is in our families and our own kind.
It's all built into us.
