Unplug: A Manual for Critical Thinking in a Programmed World by Darnell Wright

Description

You’ve grown up in a world that taught you what to think, not how to think. A world that punished you for questioning, for stepping out of the box. One that rewards conformity. In order to reclaim freedom in a world that is quickly changing and does not allow room for a free thinker, the most important skill one can develop is the art of critical thinking. Your environment, your city, your town, your neighbourhood, your church, your country, your schools, your government; all of these institutions have told you what to think. They’ve told you how to live. And you followed those rules, yet they have not given you the life they promised. They have not given you fulfillment. They have not given you happiness. They’ve only left you feeling trapped. The only way to freedom is to detach yourself from the ideas and beliefs that have been programmed into your conscious and subconscious mind since childhood. Your parents have been programmed. Their parents have been programmed. Somewhere along the line, someone has to challenge these ideas and beliefs in order for something new to happen, for an opportunity to change. The Matrix is not a simulation you are plugged into. It is also a system within your own mind that creates these ideas and beliefs, the illusion of reality that you believe in, that you help perpetuate by reinforcing it unknowingly. This is a manual that will give you the tools to see through the illusion and the programming. It will help you develop the skill to ask the questions, and think the thoughts that set you free. It will not only dismantle the old programming but give you the power to create new programming the way you see fit. Unplug.
