to mindshock this is your host Bruce Maguire really important topic today the Mental Health crisis now this is a very multifaceted topic that overlaps and inexs many different things and uh I'm G to attempt to tackle as much of as I can of it today and kind of explain a lot of the issues we're seeing in the world and in in conversations and debates of of different topics obviously conspiracy theories but also pretty much any and all topics the uh the mental health variable really needs to be put more in the Forefront just how prevalent it is I know a lot of people don't either don't believe it or don't want to believe it uh but it's it's unfortunately mental health issues have spiked so dramatically in recent times that that now you'd be remiss not to ass this variable as it pertains to whatever topic being discussed with whatever people so we'll be diving deep in typical mind shock fashion with logic and reason at the Forefront in a world where they are quickly becoming extinct as always if you enjoy the podcast find it interesting and informative and want to help support the podcast so we can get more mind shocking content out there and kind of rescue the world from

through so you can be notified when we drop the latest mind shocking Bombshells on a variety of topics from Deep conspiracies to True Crime cases and wrongful convictions and anything and everything in between the Paranormal in inter Dimensions interdimensional metaphysics theories anything and everything because this is mind shock where we're not afraid to tackle any subject objectively logically neutrally and scientifically like and share the podcast Twitter Facebook R patreon patrons do get priority for case topic logical analysis co- podcast or requests you could also be a guest in the podcast depending on your tier questions comments the thought suggestions rebuttal debunking of any kind leave them in the comment section okay so obviously if you've bit a mind shock listener for a period of time you know how important logical fallacies are understanding logical fallacies these deal with validity so if someone is committing logical fallacies their argument is not valid so regardless of whether you're talking ghosts Bigfoot government conspiracies or True Crime cases if all one has is logical fallacies to support their position Blind Faith and the uh corrupt authorities aka the appeal to Authority logic fallacy or appeals to popularity well everybody believes this and everybody can't be wrong appeals to incredulity well that's just insane and crazy or just plain old ad homonym attacks and genetic logical facies where they attack the source instead of the actual argument being made these are all highly common if you just look at any conversation on social media that's an issue even if you look at formal debates with Scientists I mean Flat Earth debates are great for this to see how clueless so many Goofs are not that the conclusion is true we're not talking about the conclusion or the absolute truth of the matter we're talking about how it's argued I mean it's just it's completely insane the level that logic reason uh Extinction has reached I mean the extinction it's it's almost completely extinct nowadays it's just it's absolutely insane I mean also quite curious ironically because everybody literally has the Library of Alexandria in their pocket if you have a smartphone with an internet connection you can literally learn anything about anything and learn about both sides of any issue objectively logically and neutrally if you understand logical fallacies if you understand the scientific method if you understand how conflicts of interest work so if you understand these things which are very easy to learn now if certain people obviously have mental disabilities now that's where a lot of these people arguing online and I've I've been doing research on the Dunning Krueger effect for quite some time I will be having a book come out on this subject at some point in the future I'm still in the research phase and that's actually why I'm doing this podcast because the Mental Health crisis has reached such a level where it now must be considered it now must be considered as a primary variable along with lack of english comprehension and the Dunning Krueger effect as one of the primary boundaries in any kind of meaningful conversation because when these Dunning Krueger Goofs get triggered and all that obviously the they spiral out of control their ability to use logic and reason if they had it is no longer enabled now another issue another main variable we have to con consider again in just in in recent months I've noticed a huge spike in the amount of people seeking to have some kind of conversation or debate of any kind they have serious mental conditions where not only are they not able to process information but in this age where I'm not going to go down the uh the Asbergers the autism all of that and their causes I mean some of them are quite obvious if you understand the scientific method but again comparing to previous time periods in history documentable I'm not talking about 500 years ago I'm talking about just 20 years ago compared to 50 years ago compared to 70 years ago but uh these These are huge huge issues because especially in our modern times in participation trophy Generations where everybody is obsessed about not offending Somebody by not telling them the truth how many UND undiagnosed people have some kind of a mental disability but again I'm not talking about like an obvious completely complete cognitive impairment to the point where they can't speak or read I'm not talking about that I'm talking about mental disabilities they're a bit more subtle where they can speak English and have some kind of base level Communications they might even actually have advanced level degrees and indoctrination facilities because they're they were able to memorize things but in terms of actual processing power the ability to think critically deductive reasoning obviously none of these are required to regurgitate propaganda on command and jump through hoops like a circus animal to get some kind of degree at an indoctrination facility these things are not required in fact it looks like in the past generation they've been intentionally not taught or downplayed where just this Blind Faith and corrupt authorities scientism has been the primary mode of teaching where you just have to take it on Blind Faith because it says so in the religious text known as the government textbook used at the University now again I'm not saying the information is wrong again it's almost ironic how these trigger Dunning Krueger Goofs claiming I'm wrong they're proving the point by their response and that's that's where again these mental health crises come into play because if they're that clueless I mean I don't know if it can simply be a matter of intelligence there seems to be a mental health component where they they do have some kind of mental condition possibly some kind of mental disability where they're simply unable to utilize logic and reason and there are certain uh neurons or Connections in the brain just were never formed so they can't compare certain things in their brain now obviously some of this is due to cognitive dissonance and triggering which I've discussed a lot in the past as well in addition to the Dunning Krueger effect and the lack of logic and even basic english comprehension those are all variables as well but one variable I just have not spent enough time on that I believe is uh is also critical is obviously the mental health component so let's look at how some of this can manifest because if somebody even a highly intelligent individual who does know how to utilize critical thinking logic and reason let's say they understand the logical fallacies the scientific method if they're having a mental health crisis if they have a mental health condition they're not quite right in the head they're not actually going to be able to utilize it if they get triggered or not even necessarily triggered if if they have that much of a mental health condition they they conflict seeking Etc I mean you'll see a lot of these people on social media they're basically just looking for an argument they're not actually looking I mean they're looking for to to continue a trauma cycle so regardless of what type of mental health condition they might have or possible mental disability or possibly both I mean in let's not fall for false dichotomies ourselves when discussing these topics because I mean I would I would actually argue that there's a component of all of this there's the Dunning Krueger effect is of course at play there are a lot of narcissists out there I mean you could even argue that narcissists are even more likely to suffer from these mental health conditions and even more likely to get triggered at the drop of a hat and uh and not able to utilize logic and reason even if technically they might have a high IQ and then of course there's other individuals with a low IQ who also are all of these things now the Mental Health crisis component is if they're just that me mentally out of it they're not going to be a they're not capable uh again I'm not talking about intellectually I'm not talking about intellectually they're not emotionally capable of having any kind of logical reasoned uh levelheaded discussion about anything let alone uh possibly a controversial Topic at hand so again big thanks out there to all these people who uh who have decided to be subjects for me to study on social media I mean there's no shortage of people falling into all these categories checking all these boxes and the mental health component now a mentally unwell individual of course they're going to want to get into it with strangers on the internet and of course they're not going to want any kind of honest debate they're not they're not there to learn anything I mean it's it's it's all quite obvious but the the mental health component the issue if they have a mental condition if you want identify this within an individual I mean it's kind of obvious sometimes not necessarily obvious from the get-go because if they've gotten pretty good at disguising it just to function in society then uh it might not be evident right from the get-go but within within a certain amount of back and forth responses it does become quite evident because these uh narcissistic hallucinations that obviously they can't be wrong and that the other person is doing all these things psychological projection obviously also one of these main key factors I will be doing a podcast on each of these topics individually and then also a podcast on how they all manifest together and why it's important to understand these things because again if you're uh if you have mental strength and you're not a narcissist you'll be able to identify your own faults like everybody has these obviously I've fallen for some of these uh in the past as well and when you can honestly take a look at yourself and say oh you've committed this value oh you were being a narcissist here or narcissistic certain narcissistic tendencies where you were arguing for your ego and to be right instead of actually arguing for the truth so these things are all important to understand and uh you know nobody's perfect I'm sure I commit logical fallacies as well I mean again I try to call them out and even while I'm committing them in certain cases because again everybody's human it's not about being 100% perfect it's about being honest with yourself and honest intellectually where if you do value the truth you'll not you won't be terrified of confronting these things as possibilities and the people with these mental health crises just mentioning any of these things obviously they're subconscious will know that it's true so their triggering goes to a whole new level anytime any of this what I just mentioned is triggered like triggers them like psychological projection the Dunning Krueger effect logical fallacies they'll spiral out of control and it's actually kind of sad to see at this point I mean again I don't want to contribute to anybody's uh mental health decline so at this point I would have to block and exit certain conversations because again I do not want to be responsible for people's mental health conditions getting worse so once somebody has demonstrated this like again I I'm not trying to do any kind of inhumane studies on these people online once they have demonstrated they have a mental health issue that's the end for me I mean I you know I wish them the best I I I'm rooting for them I hope they get better but uh yeah I'm not going to continue using them as a test subject and uh laughing at their they're Dunning Krueger issues if they have demonstrated that they're mentally unwell so that's another key component again whenever you're debating anybody in person on the online through social media whatever it's important to identify these things because again you don't want to contribute to mental health declines but at the same time you want to be clear on what's going on uh again in the pursuit of Truth with the utilization of logic and reason you would have to know all of the variables at play for example if the main block to for someone understand ing something is uh again their overestimation of their mental capacity let's assume they do not have a mental health issue for this example so in not calling them out are you really doing them any favors because if they're not capable of understanding the evidence and information presented if they're not capable of understanding the argument you can't really continue but if you want to again be a good person you can tell them you know like if you have this huge Dunning Krueger issue you're psychologically projection projecting you're a narcissist etc etc obviously they're going to get triggered if the information is true if it's not true uh you'll notice a completely different response in them sometimes they'll just exit the conversation immediately because they think it's not worth getting into because they might recognize maybe some of it's true whatever and if they have the the mental strength they might say you know like I'm not quite ready to examine this now maybe later whatever or if it's completely not true uh you'll notice that they'll focus on the actual argument instead of all of the straw Manning adom attacks genetic attacks and all of these things like a lot of these goof too but regarding the Mental Health crisis how obvious it is because we're not talking about just a couple people here and the more someone suffers from a mental health crisis the more likely they're going to be on social media just picking fights with people psychologically projecting and all of this like literally humiliating themselves uh because again because of their mental health condition they don't even realize what they're doing they don't have the mental strength to do that so I'm sure what I say is nothing new to people who do engage on social media in various uh debates and arguments Etc especially touching upon controversial subjects as such you'll see a lot of people with mental health conditions adamantly involved in a lot of these conversations so being I being able to identify that is pretty important also aside from uh just social media out in the real world again I mean you'll see this this uptick in in shootings and such I mean I I I've actually listened to a lot of uh people who went to high school in like the 70s and uh the early 80s I mean depending on which part of the country when I mean people had rifles in their cars shotguns Etc hunting culture Sports shooting I mean literally there were hundreds if not thousands of potential School shooters in in every County and school district there were guns in so many cars and the school parking lot and even carried through hallways and look at and how many incidents were were around back then like one every 10 years back then or two whatever it was in isolated situations now again regardless of which side of the fence you fall on if you're a critical thinking conspiracy theorist and you understand that uh politicians are not 100% honest and that certain government organizations would possibly uh employ an agenda and you and handlers would groom certain troubled people again mental health issues to ex ATT certain narratives obviously this this wouldn't be new they would use them for their own purposes now regardless of whether you're on that side of the fence or you just think there's just random insane loonies always around shooting people up and there's never ever any connections to government or government handlers of any kind ever no matter what um regardless of which side of the fence you fall on there it's kind of weird to hallucinate that with the rise of the big Pharma cult and the cultist that defend the endlessly all of these mind altering drugs that have been used in the past let's say 20 to 30 years I mean they've increased so much in the past 20 to 30 years it coincides with a lot of these mass and school shootings what a coincidence The Coincidence theorist will obviously write that all off and then you could look in other countries where they don't have these mind altering drugs prescribed in these astronomical numbers to to children to young children they don't have these issues another coincidence I'm sure I'm sure it's all coincidental I mean how could it not be but regardless of what which way you look at it whether you believe that uh mental health issues are being overdiagnosed whether you believe they've always been around and just again simply not diagnosed or whether all of these food additives preservatives uh Chemtrails some are there still are there still coincidence theorists and Authority worshipping cultist denying camt Trails I mean you can go on all these government websites and learn all about geoengineering aerosol spraying programs I mean these are all openly admitted now I mean in the past the coincidence theorists kind of laughed at the critical thinking conspiracy theorists and said oh no those are just contrails they're just standard exhaust and now I mean you have you have like over a hundred years of documents and patents on cloud seating and weather modification I mean most of these weren't even top secret so this has all been out in the open for for decades but obviously the gullible Goofs who just believe the idiot box when the idiot box uses the magic term conspiracy theorist to discredit something the gullible Goofs just automatically assume it's not true they never do any research they never even go on the all of these openly admitted uh operations ongov websites I mean scientific journals cover all of this uh again uh aerosol spraying and geoengineering and cloud seating which has been going on for a very long time so clearly the spraying of chemicals and the chemical trails visible in the sky of such now we're not going to get into motives and the reasons why and the exact contents but obviously there are chemicals there are a lot more chemicals around now than 50 years ago I mean this is all just documented fact uh some people believe Plastics uh the chemicals in Plastics and and floridated water and all of these things now with GMO food and all of that crap uh that this would cause some mental health issues now to make it all worse these uh these mental health drugs which which possibly address some symptoms possibly extremely well they address the symptoms very well but what other issues are they creating and is this connected to MK Ultra type programs you know what else is interesting about uh coincidence theorists and Authority worshiping cultist that just take on Blind Faith as gospel whatever they see on the idiot box or from mainstream news sources they'll never even actually objectively look at the other side like I obviously this is mind shock I'm not claiming anything is true or untrue I'm not claiming any of the conspiracy theories are true or untrue I'm not claiming any of the coincidence theories or official narratives are true or untrue this is mindshock where the only thing we know for sure is that we don't know anything for sure but coincidence theorists and Authority worshipping cultists they don't take that position they don't say oh well maybe the conspir maybe there's corrupt people out there maybe there's not maybe they're actually doing illegal things maybe they're not they religiously deny the possibility of such any such corruption theories with religious fervor that's why of course Authority worshiping cultists they're part of a cult they just take whatever's on the idiot box or whatever's a so-called official narrative on Blind Faith and blind faith alone they won't actually take the time to objectively logically neutrally examine uh a possible Theory or whatever the alleg corruption theory is so that's that's a huge distinction whereas a conspiracy theorist for the most part if they're a good person they don't even want the conspiracy to be true they would prefer it wasn't but they simply looked at a certain amount of evidence and uh that evidence at least suggested a strong possibility regardless of whether it's true or untrue so they had the mental strength to not stick their head in the sand and pretend that there's no corrupt people out there the denial of history is also particularly curious because go you can go back to to the tobacco industry buying up scientists and doctors and the propaganda campaigns those are just recycled you saw it with the sugar industry I mean you're seeing it now with certain uh Medical Treatments let's call them and this is all just recycled I mean this isn't even new propaganda but just the lack of awareness of history is just it's mindboggling mind shocking if you will now somebody's suffering from a mental health condition can you really expect them even if they have the mental capacity to understand the arguments obviously a certain percent percentage of authority worshiping cultist and coincidence there a certain percentage do a certain percentage don't but even the ones that do have the mental capacity and maybe even high IQs if they're in a mental health crisis how do you expect them to be logical neutral scientific in any way and have any kind of honest conversation I mean it's just it's not a fair ask of these people and unfortunately the amount of people with mental health conditions has skyrocketed regardless of the reasons we don't need to get into those but just the amount of people walking around with mental health issues stratospheric and a a portion of it could just be a mode of society and uh I'll drop this Al to his Huxley quote here I've said it before here and there not as often as some other quotes I use but uh this one is uh is quite quite powerful and uh here is this quote the real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives that they do not even strugg struggle or suffer as the neurotic does they are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal Society their perfect adjustment to that abnormal Society is a measure of their mental sickness these millions of abnormally normal people living with without a fuss in a society to which if they were fully human beings they ought not to be adjusted so if you haven't heard that quote before from the great ALDS Huxley author of Brave New World perhaps much more accurate than George Orwell's uh 1984 often overlooked everybody always goes for or worldes 1984 which is uh which is a quite an eerie prediction as well but huxley's Brave new world is uh arguably much more apt comparison to our modern technocratic society where people are just drugged into complacency to not even question anything and uh not even really experience the extremes of the uh Human Condition so yeah I mean that's quite a powerful one so that's it for now I hope you guys found another edition of mindshock interesting and informative you can donate to our PayPal help us spread logic and
