Do you have knee jerk reaction thoughts on situations or people you know to be false, but keep coming up and need to consciously suppress and remind yourself they’re irrational?

    Michael from Vsauce has an interesting point about how the mere existence of scripted media messes with our minds. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gUXxOYnd49Y

    From the first day humankind realized they are making things and extrapolated something could have made them, they have imagined invisible forces controlling them. In the current era it has been kicked in to overdrive because we have daily first hand experiences on peering into completely scripted or simulated worlds.
