About 70% of this went over my head but the point of? a choice always causing you to lose the possibility of another is very profound

A? little more philosophy in education can help on the matter of personal choices and social change

Renata here seems to have serious issues with peer pressure.? She is clearly also plagued by feelings of inadequacy and lack of control. I hope she finds help to her problems.

To understand both is much better than ignore the other, but it’s paradox of choice to be between of them, because for both we are economic slave for one? of those systems. What history shown ’til now was that communism meant shortage of things and capitalism abundance of craps.

It may not be very prominent, but I’m pretty sure the idea to appeal to the sense of mediocrity rather than be either extremely flamboyant or not partake it all still exists in your subconscious. We are more shaped by the? societal average of choices in whatever topic or whatever thing than the individual desire for X, and because we live with those around us; we tend to appeal to the big ‘Other’ or ‘They’ rather than the ‘Me’. Despite that we like to think we’re the exception, even if we’re not.

Its not important to have a choise, but to think you have it- many people in the US? think they live in the most freedom and the US are always the good guys, without that being true to reallity. North Korea is not the best country in the world, but many people there think the opposite, because that is what they are told and they haevent seen anything else!

I don’t know anyone who feels anything this woman is saying, or trying to project onto their motivations. No one even? thinks they have “choices,” since the choices are bogus and dilemmas. They can’t evne know if GMO is their FOOD, lol. No one would eat the crap “choices” in stores (soda, corn syrup, whatever)

This “spin” is really sick—- trying to pretend there ARE REAL CHOICES (when there aren’t) to make a case for total authoritarianism. Can? people not see through this stupid cointelpro? All statism leaves people “dissatisfied” lol. There is no choice in stores, or in other ways—- A CHOICE is not a dilemma. Dosing kids on “choice” in sexuality is just gross and invasive—- has NOTHING to do with real choices. That’s not even the point of that propaganda

Why is this CRAZY person saying there are “choices?” LOL— a “two party system” in U.S. that is based in Cognitive Dissonance (like letting people be “pro-war” AND anti-abortions OR pro abortions and anti-war). NO CHOICES THERE! This? woman just sounds totally stupid, like she can’t even deal with making “choices” in a restaurant or something. Is she low IQ or what? lol. No stores in U.S. even ALLOW ANY CHOICE at all with food—- it is all junk no one intelligent would choose to buy

In U.S. THERE IS NO CHOICE…. lol. The things given to people to? “choose” from are “dilemmas” not choices. Like at the stores—- it’s aisles of poison food, pesticides, junk, etc. No decent human being would eat any of it. The outer aisles are the only shopping (where refrigeration is required). NO REAL FOOD is offered to the public, and centralized economy means only fruits bred? with GMO for shipping. NO ONE IS EVEN ALLOWED to know what is GMO. LOL There is NO CHOICE

Wow, excellent presentation, quite overwhelming though …
I’m observing these things for many years becoming more and more destructive – especially the growing power of companies which give the individuals the feeling that you are just a very tiny part of it and you should be so thankful that you can be here. So don’t dare to criticise and it’s your fault when we throw you out ! Experienced all that myself during the last? 20 years !
