RE: An open Letter to the Whales of Steemit and YouTube celebs about videos you post that are off topic
We need to teach and learn the self empowerment that ends the obsessions with 'personality' and the following that it creates.
That would be great if we could, unfortunately the design of social media over the year has made it where they condition people especially the younger generation growing up to look up the select few whales on social media. What better way to control the masses than to plant a few popular celebrities on these social media sites and pay them to push products and advertise for them. In my lifetime I have learned many people are just fine with giving up their power of choice and rather have someone else make their choices for them so their life can be easier
Defusing this cult bomb is quite simple to do when we learn the underlying mechanics involved - although I do have a degree in systems engineering and 15 years of experience behind me, so maybe my perspective is a bit different to most. The huge problem is that a kind of spiritual vampiric pyramid is created where the energy of millions can be channelled in particular directions just with subtle nudges here and there in between irrelevant (and usually incorrect) tibdits of information.
Here's my highly informed and highly relevant 'top tip' for this issue ;)
By starting with the absolute KNOWING that YOU EXIST, you will have a 'tuning fork' against which to compare the feeling of any other information you encounter, to know whether you really know that this other idea is true or not. That's definitely an idea worth sharing. In fact, I will post on it later today as I continue to built the balanced power sphere that squishes all the BS power pyramids. hehe :P
