Today, you will see in this younger generation—no matter if they are six, seven, nine, 12, 13, or 17 years old—most of them have access to the most dangerous thing. It is not a nuclear weapon. It is not a weapon of mass destruction or anything like that. It is the thing that can control our minds: the smartphone and the internet.
We know the internet, AI, smartphones, and so on are useful technologies. We can use them nowadays to do research, find information, and connect with others. But it has become something else. You know, everything comes with a hidden agenda. We don't know if it was an intentional agenda or just a side effect, because nothing is perfect.
Who let this control our kids' minds? Our younger generation is glued to this stupid thing 24 hours every day, their eyes scrolling endlessly, believing everything. They believe they know everything. They think they are correct, mistaking information for knowledge.
You know what Mark Twain said: "It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
Think about it carefully. Think how stupid it is. Now, as an adult, think about how much you've been using social media. It is an endless scroll of useless information. You believe everything they say. No matter if it is your authority or someone else, you believe it until one day you become controlled.
They don't control you with chains. They don't control you with a lock or a prison. They control you by narrative. They imprison our minds; they put our minds into a prison and suppress our critical thinking. Think about it carefully.
This is just a theory, maybe not a fact.
