Our minds are the most valuable asset we have and will ever have. Forget your house, car, and possessions. It’s your thoughts that are the real gold. (Maybe even the real Bitcoin)
Today’s world is after our minds. We rent our minds to different people without even paying rent. Ridiculous opinions, cheesy ads, catchy headlines, etc. When these enter the brain, good luck getting them out.
We are living in an age of worthless information. The golden age is for the loudest, not the smartest. Our feeds carefully drip-feed us with content to distract us.
People get to decide what goes into their brains. We shouldn’t let just anything go into our brains. The more information you put in, the better, but the more “useful” information you put in.
Think of it like you own a house. You definitely wouldn’t let any stranger come into your house and sit on your couch and start ordering pizza and inviting other people over.
You definitely shouldn’t be a recluse. Social media has helped us. But control it. Don’t let the algorithms control you. Be anti-algorithm. So the next time something tries to enter your mind without permission, stop and ask: Does this belong here?
