Society promotes 15 things that often lead to unhappiness and lack of fulfillment, such as following the majority instead of individual truth, financial dependence on employers, excessive work with no time to live, disrespecting elders without merit, stopping learning after school, going into debt, sacrificing for countries without cause, being easily offended, living in fear, letting the government control your life, hiding problems, obsessive consumerism, restricting yourself to stereotypes, basing self-worth on social media, and feeling the need to have life fully planned by age 20. The document encourages thinking independently and living freely according to one's own purpose and values.

1. 15 Stupid
Things Society
Wants You to
Do

2. Society is wrong and
stupid!
Don’t go through life
living by their rules and
regret being unhappy and
unfulfilled.

3. 1
Follow the Majority
The problem is that:
Majority looks for consensus, individuals look for the
truth!
The top performers, those that excel, those that push
against the status quo, those who build the future are not
members of the majority.
In order for you to be able to find success, you have to go
move from the middle to the extreme.

5. 2
Be Financially Stupid
You will always be dependent on your boss/employer
It’s easy to convince you to buy things you don’t need
You’re giving society more money because you don’t
know how to keep it
Look…
If you don’t know how to create your own side income, or
at least save a bit, you will always be dependent on your
boss/employer. That means you always gotta live by their
rules and conditions since you need their money.
I hate to break it to ya but… you got little freedom.

7. 3
Live on the Weekend
If you deduct the number of hours you spend sleeping,
which is a 3rd of your life, deduct the times eating, cleaning
yourself, transiting and more, you begin to realise that
you’re trading your life for an imaginary concept of
survival. They tricked the majority into working hard and
paying them just enough so they can survive to next week
where they need to work again.
You’re not supposed to work on the weekend.
You’re not supposed to live a hard and repetitive life.
If you get only one… why not make it count!

8. 4
Respect Your Elders as
a Default
This is one of the relics of the past, where the elders of the
tribe have dealt with the most dangerous predators and
can share their wisdom with the young ones.
We have a problem with respect as a default setting, for
respect is earned, not demanded.

10. 5
Stop Learning after
School
They told you to get educated. So they put you between
four walls with other people.
The only thing you have in common with them is your date
of manufacturing and that’s pretty stupid.
They don’t care about educating you or getting the most
out of you. They don’t get about feeding your potential.
The education system wants obedience. They want you to
ask permission to go to the bathroom.

11. Schools want you not to be a creative problem solver, instead they want you
to learn their way of solving the problem, because that’s the way they’re
comfortable with.
You see, school was never about education, it was about indoctrination!
They made up a version of history that they can be proud of and never told
you about the dirt they swept under the rug.
They designed it based on the needs of factories, so when you’re out you’re
just as replaceable as part of their ever moving mechanism.
Schools don’t want you to learn! They want you to obey!
Every success we’ve had in life is the result of
self-study, mentorships and a continuous
learning mentality.
The most important part of your real education is
learning how to learn!

12. 6
Go In Debt: To Go to
College, to Buy a
House, to Buy a Car, to
Buy Food

13. They don’t want you to have money. They want
you to borrow some from them so you can pay it
back with interest.
Here’s something that will blow your mind away:

14. 7
Sacrifice for Your
Country
This is a tough one, especially in today’s context. Where
more and more information comes to light how countries
sacrifice their own in order to serve material purposes.
They want you to care about a country that doesn’t care
about you!
You’re not the objective. The quality of your life isn’t the
end goal for many of these countries that require the
ultimate sacrifice.
They want you to die on their battlefields, but neglect the
wounded who survive and come home.

15. They want you to die on foreign soils for material benefits.
The US is a phenomenal example:
About 241,000 people have been killed in the Afghanistan
and Pakistan war zone since 2001. More than 71,000 of those
killed have been civilians.
An estimated 4-6 Trillion dollars of your taxpayer money
has been spent on this nation building project. It took the
US 30 years to replace the taliban with… well the taliban.
People in higher offices go to war without having any skin
in the game. Others are suffering and dying based on their
decisions.
The military is an obvious example, but we’re seeing
examples of No-Skin-in-the-game decisions in other areas
as well.

16. 8
Be Offended
Being offended on behalf of someone else who wasn’t
offended in the first place sounds a lot like a YOU
problem!
This is fueled by social studies and this new age of
academia.
When a society no longer has to deal with real conflict, it
creates its own conflict just to keep itself busy!

17. 9
Be Scared
Keeping in touch with the previous theme, the media wants
you scared. Why? Because scared people are willing to trade
their freedom for security and security means control.
Society always provides a reason to be scared. Open any of
the mainstream news anytime you want and you’ll find
something that is threatening your future : be it a dictator,
be it the pandemic, the Taliban.

18. The more scared a population is, the more divided it is.
They’re tracking you online, they track your phones, they use facial recognition
cameras to track who you are and who you meet and they want to track your
purchasing power.
We spend the majority of our time online with all our data exposed.

19. 10
Let the Government
Take Care of You
We’ll live in a world where the quality of life will be
determined by your relationship to the government.
Stimulus checks were a trial run for UBI, universal basic
income. They know: he who controls the flow of money
controls the narrative.
People would rather stay at home and get 75% of their
income than go and work their hard and boring jobs.

20. 11
Hide Your Problems
Society doesn’t care that you’re depressed, that you’ve been
abused, that you’re struggling with stuff.
It’s part of the culture.
“Why are you sad? Stop being sad”

23. 12
Buy Material Things &
Follow Trends
We’re a consumer based society and you already know
that.
The way this crazy system we have in place keeps going is
if you just buy more stuff. Whent he pandemic hit and the
entire economy came to a stand-still, their only tool to save
the world for an impending collapse was to simply give
out money for free so that people start buying stupid
things again.

24. The printed money and gave it out to everyone. Just buy shit
or we all starve to death!
Everything has become about consumption, how much
money can we extract from you on a regular basis. This
week the blue hat is in fashion, next week it’s gonna be the
green one.
We set trends, we get you to buy and then we change the
trends so you buy more!
It’s their way of giving you a purpose through consumption,
a feeling that you matter.

25. 13
Fit Your Stereotype
This means, they consider themselves superior: “you can’t
do what I do, because what I do is hard which makes me
important”
Society has a fragile ego and the only way to progress is to
shatter it.
Be more than they think you can be!

26. If they built roads that lead to places you don’t want to go,
make your own road. Show them who are and how
powerful you are. You’re destined for greatness, while they
settled into a predetermined path.
You’re not running the same race as everyone else, you’re
running your own and towards something they can’t even
see.
Do it for yourself and in the process you’ll prove them all
wrong.

27. 14
Judge Your Position in
the Social Hierarchy
Based on Social Media

28. Social media has been the most toxic and most stupid thing to arise at a time
where the social identity of the masses has hit peak fragility.
They got rich off your data, they sold it to advertisers, they sold it to politicians,
they manipulated the narrative with it so that you obey.
In this new world your worth is determined by your social media numbers.
Social media is status!
The problem is your status, your position in society is at the mercy of the
algorithms and at the fingertips of the tech elite. We live in the age of the geek
and geeks have coded themselves onto the throne.
If you can silence a king, you are the king!

29. 15
Have Your Shit
Together by the Time
You’re 20

30. Last stupid thing on this list is this idea that you should have your life
figured out as early as possible. You should conform as early as possible.
That way society knows you’re one of them.
This stems from a flawed idea that life is univarible. An outdated idea of a
singular identity. A singular job, a singular skill and a monolithic life.
Modern day shattered this idea. While your parents use to have 1-3 jobs
during their entire lives, our generation will have 10-15. We are more diverse,
master more than one skill and we are competitive. Reinventing ourselves
alongside the technology that our generation creates is something we know.
We fix the problems the old generation left behind. Everything outdated is
replaced by the new.
Everyone is living their own life, so focus on yours. You
don’t have to have it all figured out, because you don’t
have all the data. Figure out this part of your life and
allow yourself to flow into the next one..
