The Dangerous Lives of Thinkers
We’re the most discriminated group in history.
Why?
Because we tell you the truth. That’s why you hate us.
Think of a time you were asleep and someone woke you up.
It pissed you off a little bit, huh?
No one likes an alarm clock — but it’s time to wake up.
Not to be confused with woke.
Woke has been compromised and hijacked. A derogatory slur for someone pretending to be something they’re not. They’re pretending to be aware, but they’re still dreaming.
The few who do occupy this Awake realm of consciousness, are striving to solve the mysteries of existence — for the liberation of humanity.
For us — every other pursuit is secondary.
If you found yourself with amnesia in a moving truck, with several other people and a TV on — wouldn’t you want to know why you’re on the truck?— or would you argue over which channel to watch?
That’s us on planet Earth. Immersed in a mystery we’ve given up exploring.
Instead we’re fighting over what we see on screens.
Some of us still ponder the unknown and search for truth.
Some of us are Awake.
‘Authorities’ don’t want searching too much for truth.
They’ve given us predetermined answers within the content we consume.
The inquiry allowed within this framework is severely limited.
This is all fed to us through a small centralized apparatus.
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum
— Noam Chomsky
There’s a war on humanity. It’s the only war that’s ever been fought.
We’re losing.
Our enemy would have you believe it’s irreversible.
But if that were true, they wouldn’t need propaganda.
The Awake prove there’s still resistance therefore hope.
The awake allow us to consider forgotten or hidden truths.
For this, they’ve been crucified for millennia.
Jesus preached peace. Those profiting from war murdered him.
Princess Diana brought attention to the poverty of colonialism.
Usually royals aim to distract us from that.
Then she was murdered — I mean wrecked.
”This particular phase in my life is the most dangerous. My husband is planning an accident in my car, brake failure or some serious head injury…”
— Princess Diana
Tupac said, “they have money for war but can’t feed the poor.” Shortly after he was choked by police.
Then later shot by a known FBI cooperator, all within the year before his eventual execution.
The case is still unsolved.
Were these influential historical figures awake in a world of the asleep?
Is that why they were murdered?
They say in the land of the blind a man with one eye is King.
In reality — the one who can see gets their head chopped off.
Some of us who are Awake might not have massive platforms, and therefore aren’t as threatening to the powers that be.
So we don’t warrant sophisticated assassinations.
But we fight the same fight.
Ostracized by peers.
Punished by teachers.
Forgotten by politicians.
Fired from jobs.
Threats to the establishment.
Obedience is rewarded.
Dissidence is extinguished.
It’s the way it’s always been.
The FBI might not be plotting my demise — but if my platform keeps growing — one day they might.
It’s the chance we take.
That’s the price I pay for keeping my soul.
It’s not easy being awake — but at least I can sleep at night.
