00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,460
CIA. Back in the day I did this experiment where they placed 18 people in a room. 17 of those

2
00:00:06,460 --> 00:00:11,820
people were actually CIA agents and one of them was just an unwitting member of the public. So

3
00:00:11,820 --> 00:00:17,560
imagine they pick you, you think that you're going into a room with 17 other people who are from the

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,180
street just like you, but in reality those 17 other people are agents and they are conducting

5
00:00:23,180 --> 00:00:28,900
an experiment on you. So the person that was running the experiment showed every single person

6
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:35,500
in the room, a picture of a triangle. It was very clearly a picture of a triangle and he asked every

7
00:00:35,500 --> 00:00:42,180
person in the room to simply state what they saw on the picture. Well, despite it clearly being a

8
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:47,840
triangle, all of the agents were instructed to say square. So imagine you're in this room,

9
00:00:47,940 --> 00:00:53,020
17 other people, you think that you're all off the side of the street and they start going around and

10
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:58,380
everyone says, oh, what is that? A square, a square. What do you see? A square, a square, a square.

11
00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:04,120
Well, by the time it gets to you and you're the 18th person, you're going, am I crazy? I see a

12
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:11,540
triangle. And guess what that 18th person said? Well, they said square because they didn't want to be

13
00:01:11,540 --> 00:01:16,560
the crazy person in the room. Really think about the implications of that experiment. That is exactly

14
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:22,660
how the media works. They are the agents in the room that are repeating square, square, square, square,

15
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:27,260
square until you're supposed to just completely abandon reason and just join them and say, yeah, no,

16
00:01:27,260 --> 00:01:29,600
yeah, no, totally. That's that's a square.
