People have come up with laws and rules that you need to do something and live that way, have come up with money as a unit of value, the equivalent of everything in our time, have come up with goals and a plan of life, that you need to study, get married, have children, earn as much as possible and buy up material goods. People truly believe in what they have invented themselves. Slaves to their own faith. Because it's easier and more convenient. Those who do not adhere to the general idea of life are considered outcasts, losers, losers, crazy. Society often does not understand how one can want to live differently. After all, most live as they were taught. Not everyone succeeds in destroying or changing the parental script passed down from generation to generation.
Are you already aware that digital algorithms influence our opinion and your choice is not entirely yours? Whenever you visit the Internet, you leave traces: register on sites, make purchases, participate in surveys and surveys, type in a search query. The Internet collects information about you not only with the supposedly good security goal, but with the goal of collecting as much information as possible about you: who you are, what you live in, what you are interested in, your financial capabilities and plans. In my opinion, not very similar to security. More like marketing research aimed at identifying consumer demand for the further organization of targeted advertising. Then they start to inundate you with suggestions for your requests, as if they read your mind and know exactly what you need. The imposition of choice is not always noticeable - sometimes through the stories of netizens you don't even know, through short questionnaires, through pop-ups. Advertisers cling to any opportunity to force you to buy something, vote, mark. There is an intense struggle for your attention, in which you are no longer aware of yourself. You believe everything: advice from bloggers, reviews, opinion of the crowd created around the illusion of what is happening. You are easy to use because you have become comfortable thanks to the information about you.
Test your suggestibility:
- Take a piece of paper and draw a circle on it.
- Put a point anywhere.
Answer: the closer to the center of the circle your point is, the more suggestible you are.
In fact, being a man from the crowd and doing it like all this is not so bad. Nobody is against you. You are always understood by others and accepted by them. You have your own group that shares your interests and opinions. You are calm and comfortable because everything is like everyone else's. Nobody criticizes you. You are protected.
Suggestibility is not so bad. Its downside is learning and the ability to act according to instructions, without applying creativity and not doing anything at its discretion. Such a person is a gift for the employer! What do you think?
