      Most people can be conditioned into almost anything. You can quite literally make people believe anything is true if you say it enough.

    Honestly, it’s not that. Most people just need to experience the bad before they appreciate the advice that would have helped them avoid it.

      It’s more just that human adolescents have a normal rebellion period that makes anything their old ass parents say useless.
      And what will really press your seams is when you find out the worst thing a parent can do it /not fight it/. If a parent tries to just let the kid blossom without fighting it, the kid will never mature. It’s a weird sort of thing, yes it is.

      This is schizo.

      Read "Spectacle of Society", it's about exactly this.
      Society, the economy, politics, everything has been entirely taken over by a self fueling living autonomous entity (they call "the Spectacle").
      It's main method of action is to replace real lived experiences with images. The book was written in the 1960s but it's more relevant than ever with social media now.
      Everything is mere images or the illusion of how people are perceived. All you can do is feed the Spectacle by interacting with and posting images in order to have yourself perceived how you wish. That's what it's all about, how you want yourself to be perceived as a certain kind of person. Actually being any kind of person is irrelevant.
      It controls your societal life, the economy, and politics. It keeps us trapped in the constant present like a treadmill. You get the illusion of some sort of progress or the possibility of being able to make change, but you never can. No one will ever be actually part of the Spectacle. There is no real achieving anything or controlling anything. You can feed it but it's all an attempt, never any real control.
      Really, read the book. I think it explains perfectly the political and societal issues of today. No other sort of attempt to understand or solve the problem will be anything more than feeding into the Spectacle.
      Unfortunately much of Cinemaphile has fallen into the "right vs left" "us vs them" meme. They think by fighting for their particular elite controlling political party they'll defeat the enemy, but somehow change never comes. You're told to vote, since that's how you can get the change you want, the only way, yet voting never changes anything. What we're been doing clearly isn't working. We've been in the current political moment for far too long. It's because we're focusing on the wrong thing.
      I'd really like people to be on the same page with this. I'm tired of anons meaningless fighting each there over nothing.

      This trash is what a pseudo college students regurgitates to feel smart.

        So what did you disagree with about it? Is it just a surface level thing? I think these are the major issues that society is dealing with now. What would you describe as the main issues of society that we're facing now?

        why are still on Cinemaphile if you're this redbulled?

        I like Cinemaphile, it's a place where you can have conversation freely. Obviously it was much much better 10 years ago and I'm still trying to look for those things, but there's still some conversation with likeminded people here!
        And obviously I'm still a moronic member of society. I play games, I watch porn, I buy food, k go to work, I sleep. I have no social media outside of Cinemaphile but I personally absolutely still play into the Spectacle. It's hard to even convince of what you can do about it when you live in society. I have many friends and family, but of course they all live in society too and so fall into the same pitfalls that we all do in regards to media and images. If it was possible to organize and talk about it and potentially do something about it that would be great, but I can only really hope that enough people feel the same way about the issues society is facing.
        I'd love to live on a ranch somewhere remote and just have real lived experiences, but I couldn't bear to leave my family and friends. Maybe that means I'm too much of a coward to not play into it. So at best all I can do is something small on the side, attempting to have more real lived experiences than I do obsessing over media and hoping to find more likeminded people.

        I do think a lot of people notice there is a problem, or many problems, but they get redirected to fighting each other or some other convenient enemy. Hopefully at some point people will get tired of that too and question why their wars with their personal enemies are never won and never get them anywhere.
        A good thing to do is point out things that expose the Spectacle, like democracy not working

    this is moronic though
    my parents had no idea what even was considered junk food and just said " eat healthy food pyramid lol"
    actual armchair philosophers actually give specific useful advice like"these foods reduce inflammation" or "these increase testosterone"
    not to mention a lot of my parents' advice was just straight up moronic and detrimental

    I feel as you age bad habits start to hit you harder and you change, plus parents
    need to show by example or explain why something is bad early on instead.

    Media shows us visually the possible effects of behaviors and to be inspired to be what we admire.
    I remember seeing a giant statue of Hercules at the Met Museum in NYC which left a strong impression in my mind.

    'Cept RETVRN very specifically focuses on reaching a "peak physique" which is implied to impart access to women and a higher status whereas being told to go outside by parents is for no particular good reason.

    rebellion to authority is actually a sign of an extremely healthy young male psyche. have you seen how kids turn out if they follow exactly what their parents and teachers told them to do?
