>There is a denial, naivety and fear of the horrors we can cause, it’s a way to cope with the vastness of our responsibility and how even the most simple choices can have fatal consequences, if not for us then for other people still. It’s closer to a mystical experience since it’s the very opposite of the way we are programmed, it can be counterproductive and can cause severe depression since it can put too much burden on us. I will preface it with the fact that most people assume they are good-hearted and well meaning because they aren’t criminals and even then they can claim it’s because they had no other options, but are they really right to claim these things? For an example, even when you’re buying food it can have devastating effects on more than one side, to the brand which you didn’t chose and even yourself if the food is unhealthy. It boils down to either supporting the local farmers or the foreign slave labor if you live in a western country. If you don’t support your local farmers you will become dependent on foreign slave labor that will increase it power and in the end will enslave you as you will have no choice. If you don’t buy the foreign slave labor products they will have to starve to death the next season from lack of demand or although very unlikely, they might fight their oppressors which can be positive if done right. It’s why dictatorships like China and Russia survive and even have maniacal thoughts of conquering the world, they know how dependent the West is on them and that the average citizen is not aware of the consequences of their actions. But we shouldn’t also not neglect the responsibility for our health, if we chose to buy inferior products we don’t just risk our general idea of health but also that of our cognition by denying vital nutrients to our brain, we compromise our high-order faculty and thus have higher risk of making worse both short and long term choices, we can also become both a liability to ourselves but also to that our family, country, and even the world itself, and it’s all intentional. We are just beginning to realize how important our decisions are and how even the most meaningless ones can have immense impact on us, the people around us or the whole world. As we begin to understand more about our bodies we will begin to atomize these choices even more, to the point where detailed energy expenditure planning will be an extremely important part of our lives, either for proper functioning or for dictatorship, something we will have to carefully choose. This is why we need to become hyper-intellectuals, either we begin to fight against the horrors caused by anti-intellectualism or we will become victims of it too.

Do you even know what that means, you will kill yourself if you had to live in a world controlled by them? You clearly didn't even read the text and just quote things out of context.
