In each moment it is fascinating to observe just how many choices we are making. These choices shape our lives, our characters, our capacities. And, of course everything around us influences these choices. But, how many are really our own, and how many are merely the result of our schooling, the media, the TV shows and advertising we consume, even the area we happened to grow up in.
And, how often are we easily influenced by a skillfully curated campaign by a big company, a political party, or an entire industry in order to confuse us and get us to align with their agenda - or fall in line with their agenda. We are bombarded by an abundance of well placed stories that aim to influence our choices in most moments. It can seem at times that we are walking in a real life video game. Every time we turn on our phones or TVs, even every time we walk down the street, trillion dollar industries are hunting for our attention. And, each with their very own agenda, bias and conflicts.
Author and activist, Sutter, takes a bat to The Saturday Paper, Jordan Peterson, all-meat diets, Kim Kardashian, and social media influencers in this punchy and super important talk. He tells us to be careful who we listen to - and to be careful who our heroes are - in order to live freely and authentically.
“We are conditioned by our ideas, the stories we read and hear, to think this is good and this bad - - the trick is knowing what will actually make us happier, freer and more fulfilled!”
