"The idea of consensus trance comes from Charles Tart, a transpersonal psychologist who explored altered states of consciousness. He suggested that most people live in a kind of hypnotic state induced by societal conditioning, where they unconsciously accept the beliefs, behaviors, and limitations imposed by their culture without questioning them. This trance keeps people from awakening to deeper levels of awareness.

G.I. Gurdjieff, a mystic and spiritual teacher, had a similar concept in his teachings, often referring to humanity as being in a state of waking sleep. He believed people go through life in a mechanical, automatic way, driven by conditioning and habitual patterns rather than true awareness or conscious will. His goal was to help people "wake up" through self-observation, inner struggle, and conscious effort.

Both Tart and Gurdjieff saw mainstream life as a kind of illusion or trance."

Peasantry has not changed vastly, only it’s tools and its masters. A society where no one conforms dies on the vine without cooperation, but one need only quietly hijack the leadership to kill off a society that has cohesion.

Aren’t the English the ones being arrested and prosecuted for online comments/“free” speech?

Smug moral superiority of Canada after behaving that exact way towards “American sheep”. WTF?!?

> The unexamined life is not worth living

There is a severe shortage of introspection in society. Most people do not take the time to think, question, cogitate -- they just consume narrative and get excited for more narrative.

A good exercise is to take a view that you hold, sit alone (or walk somewhere quiet) and play devil's advocate: pull it apart, interrogate it.

Unfortunately, pic is absolutely true. The majority of people just sleep walks, running on CurrentThing™ NPC programming.
