Mind Control

Who here is mind controlled?

Um, probably everyone, at least partially. The thing about being mind controlled is you're never aware of it. While it's certainly possible for us to act opposite to what our instinctual programming demands, most of us will spend a lot of our time in "autopilot", because thinking is a high energy activity that takes a lot of work and because the unconscious mind can react to stimulus faster than the conscious mind. If you're aware of that, you can fight against it through discipline, and many people do. Everyone is disciplined to a certain extent, and everyone has different levels of awareness and sensitivity... but most importantly, everyone chooses, regardless of how meaningless that choice may or may not be.

Why was "In God We Trust" put on our money in 1956?"

I'm not in the USA, but I do think it's a bit strange how contradictory it seems to have a guaranteed separation of church and state, and yet have something like that on legal tender...

.Describe what is meant by "Being inside/outside The Matrix"

The Matrix is like Ogres... in that it's both a meme and it's got layers. There's the paradigm control Matrix that exists to keep controversial thoughts pinned down, there's the Matrix as the Eastern concept of Maya / Illusion. They're all fairly similar, in that they're intentionally designed inhibitors that keep us from understanding who we really are,
