So do all of you, all of the time. So do I. Not in a direct way though; we're inundated with untruths from every direction and even if we're not directly interacting with that information - it gets embedded in our subconscious. That's why ads are so fucking terrible, because you're basically being mind-raped by them everywhere you go...and for some reason, society accepts it.

A Princeton-Cambridge study agrees with you on that.

A lot of heroin followed by brain worms will do that to you.

Rancid bear meat and falconry out in the sun probably doesn’t help either.

But it’s probably all the testosterone supplements. Same as Rogan, Alex Jones and the rest of the polish sausage looking mfers. No offense to Poland intended.
