(albeit, in tragic irony, in some isolated parts, this has some orwellianised language-of-the-oppressor flies-in-the-ointment there, but [edit: as the clip of a young edwrd g griffin points out at around 43:36 to 44:19 clinching it, before expanding with other contextual clarifications] there's wisdom in being aware of the tip-toeing #totalitarianism hiding in #communism and #socialism garb. and #capitalism too. #freedomfirst #limitedgovernment #democracy #ruleoflaw #judiciary #humanrights #tyranyofmajority #jury #inalienablerights #constitutional #individualrights #bodilyautonomy #anarchy #noruler ... anyway, i wont ramble on about the #psychology and #politics. suffice to say, #awareness is a great tool in protecting yourself from #indoctrination #scams. cant #comply your way out, have to #speak out. or it keeps getting worse. wakey wakey. from here now. #speakout )

Something from my pre- TrumpVirus era days of study and research...

... within the worlds of #psychology, #SocialMedia, and #FAD / #addiction to #Facebook, computers, whatever, plus social pressure and #FOMO etc - these days I'd say, #screens

I rarely respond to the stream of info and misinfo I see on X nee #Twitter, but caught this post (also on PBS NewsHours) about this and other AG's who are collectively taking on a suit against our old friend #Facebook (about which I spent years observing, since it began)

But I just happen to have this big compilation of research and also fun-poking at the era of #ScreenAddiction (and PTSD)

Just started this…man did it grab me…a couple of reviews below

“This Exquisite Loneliness is a transformative book for understanding this moment of collective isolation. Through his sharp-edged personal reflections, Deming interrogates powerfully and openly his own sense of aloneness as he weaves his discoveries with fellow writers, artists, and thinkers from Walter Benjamin to Zora Neale Hurston….Deming’s brave and searing prose…builds an eloquent case for staying with the discomfort as darkness becomes the passageway toward illumination.”
–Terry Tempest Williams

“One respondent, for example, saw an ad’s main character as a risk-taking, independent woman in the Spanish version of the ad, but as a hopeless, lonely, confused woman in the English version,” said the researchers.

Morgan Housel thinks "there's an 'ideal' net worth for everyone, when money not only stops bringing pleasure but becomes a social liability. And that number is probably lower than most people think."

He looks at reports about lottery winners and highly paid athletes and finds they don't go broke for the reason people think: spending all the money on jewelry, cars, and mansions. It's buying a modest house for their fifth cousin who they'd never met but felt obligated to help. It's all the friends, family, and strangers who feel entitled to ask, beg, and steal in a way that leaves the winners broke.

"When you grow up in poverty and then you're making $10 million when you're 22, that's not your money. That's mom's money, dad's money, grandma's money, cousin's money, friends' money. You can't just tell them 'I got mine, good luck to you all."

You lose your privacy and are left with nagging doubt that some friends only like you for your money.

When Are We All Finally Going to Stop Living in Fear?

Back in the 1950s, this psychology professor at Swarthmore had an idea. He wondered just how powerful peer pressure was.

So he rounded up 123 students.

They were male.

He put them in groups of five or seven. He told one dude in every group he was conducting vision tests. He told the rest of the group he was really studying peer pressure. He told them all to give the right answer the first two times. After that, they were supposed to give the same wrong answer for almost every question. The wrong answer wasn't just a little wrong.

It was obviously wrong.

Epically wrong.

The professor expected the one dude to hold his ground most of the time, that he wouldn't conform. The professor was wrong. Only about 25 percent of his test subjects resisted the urge to conform. About a third of them conformed almost all of the time, and 5 percent conformed completely.
