When You Talk to an American...

Ever I talk to an American, whenever I have to talk to an American, I kind of go into that interaction assuming that I'm dealing with someone who is not normal. That's a shame. And I think everyone outside of America approaches it the same way. You know? Even if even if they don't consciously realize that this is what they're doing, you have to make adjustments when you're talking to an American.

You you you kind of lower your expectations. You know, you go into it knowing, that you're not gonna have a normal interaction. Just for example, I don't know whether or not the person sitting across from me is even sober or not, because at least half of the population drinks alcohol regularly. One out of every five Americans is an alcoholic. I think it's it's something like one in three do drugs.

One in six Americans are either misusing or abusing prescription drugs at any given time. Not to mention one out of every five Americans, has some sort of mental, psychological, or emotional disorder. I mean, is a big thing that they talk about, the the mental health crisis. We've talked about that before. So literally, you never know what you're gonna get when you sit down and talk to an American.

These are people that don't value the sanctity of their own minds, their own cognition. They're willing to abuse their own brains, and they act like this isn't a major issue. Well, it it it is a major issue. This is a people who are who habitually inflict self harm on their own ability to reason and to think. It's it's no wonder that that that so many Americans, subscribe to some very strange ideas and beliefs and conspiracy theories and so on.

Just under half of all Americans believe in things like astrology and ghosts and UFOs and aliens and lizard people and what have you, reincarnation, manifestation, all these quasi, spiritual new age beliefs and whatnot, superstitions. So this is the people who don't take their own mind seriously, and this is what their culture has done to them. This is what their society has done to them. One third of Americans are are below literacy levels and haven't even read a book in the last year, in the last twelve months. Not to mention that they're so heavily propagandized, indoctrinated, and manipulated by their own media and their own schools.

And most most Americans don't even leave The United States. They like, I think it's less than half of Americans even have a passport. So the chances are very low if if you come across a random American. The chances are very low that that person is not under the influence of alcohol or drugs or, medication, mental illness, misinformation, disinformation, miseducation, or ignorance. This is what your society has done to you.
