Mesmerized

Hi Dear Readers!

I hope this blog post finds you and brings you joy, insight, and/or an absence from your life of Diabolical Forces in the Universe (DFUs), the biggest of which are social and mainstream media (SMSM).

Last Saturday was the final day of the Church or Bike With Joe high holiday known as 12 Days to the Demise of the DFUs. It's a period of reflection amplified by a complete abstinence from SMSM. I'm curious to hear how it went for Church adherents who read this blog. Leave a comment below the post.

One reflection I had during the holiday was just how potently mesmerizing SMSM is on the average human mind exposed to the toxic stuff. My almost fortnight of abstinence from SMSM illustrated this quite vividly. Fasting from SMSM is one of the best and easiest things you can do for your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. I don't know how the technicians behind the SMSM algorithms did it, but they have found a way to almost completely MESMERIZE users of SMSM. The definition of MESMERIZE I am using here is the complete neutralization of higher brain functions, like reason, critical thinking, and executive locus of control, allowing the emotional lizard brain to take over the mind.

I know there are a lot of skeptics out there who will read the above and think it's some kind of insane conspiracy theory. Maybe it is. But there is a very easy and conclusive way to prove that: try abstaining from SMSM for one week and see what happens to your own mind. One of three things will happen. 1. Your mind will be liberated from the SMSM algos and your higher brain functions will actively and observably resume (my hypothesis). 2. #1 won't happen and you will (rightly) mock and ridicule my claim above (your hypothesis). 3. You will be unable to abstain from SMSM for one week because you are - by definition - addicted to and dependent on it (Reality). #3 is the most likely outcome of engaging in my challenge, because the algos are designed to make SMSM more addictive than heroin. And that's the moral of this story - SMSM is highly addictive and enslaves eyeballs to it [SOURCE]. The algos can basically input whatever information they want to into your receptive and addicted mind.

So, if you are able to overcome your enslavement to SMSM and abstain from it for one week, let us know which of the other two outcomes (#1 or #2 above) you experience, by leaving a comment below.

Take care!

Too Late for 2024

Hi Readers!

For a while now, we at BIKE WITH JOE HQ have been promoting the importance of eliminating social and mainstream media (SMSM) from your life, ideally completely, due to its incredibly high toxicity and and negativity. Once you disenfranchise addictive and poisonous SMSM from your life, it takes about three weeks (aka, a fortnight and a half) to completely detoxify (mentally, physically, and spiritually) from the vitriolic and divisive stuff that it is. Thus, as of now, it would impossible to totally detoxify by the end of 2024, because not enough days remain in the year. That's not the end of the world though, because you actually have until January 19, 2025 to detox from SMSM. On January 20, 2025, SMSM becomes so toxic that ANY EXPOSURE to it will result in immediate and total poisoning of your mind, body, and soul. This is not a drill!

Unfortunately, 99.9% of the world's population is not going to heed the dire importance of eliminating SMSM from their lives before 1/20/25, and thus they will suffer what is commonly called a "death of the soul," upon engaging with SMSM on or after that date. Once this happens (and it has actually happened to many people already...most likely to be found trolling the Comment section of online SMSM content), it's irreversible. The end result of all this will be a kind of virtual "Rapture" of sorts, where the small percentage of SMSM-abstinent people on the planet will continue to live happy, positive, normal lives, and the remainder of the population will become mindless wandering soulless zombies, perpetually brain-grafted to their electronic devices. You can already find some of the latter cretins on SMSM sites. They are the exhausting folks who post their misery and lack of will to thrive/live for the world to see. Their souls have been completely depleted by toxic SMSM, irreversibly.

We hope this post finds you and you are able to save yourself from SMSM in 2025. You will need to begin your SMSM fasting no later than 12/31/24, in order to have enough time (21 days) to completely detoxify from SMSM. It is only through complete detoxification that you can avoid being sucked back into the toxic mental and spiritual waste of SMSM after 1/20/25. Good luck, and may the Cosmos have mercy on your souls!

I'm off to work out on the Peloton and listen to audiobooks. Ciao!

The Street

Hi Readers!

I hear tell that the word on the street is that the social and mainstream media (SMSM) news is pretty toxic, exhausting, and depressing right now. Sorry that happened! But I do have a question for you...why are you still allowing it into your life?

If you want to find some respite from the toxic grievance and vitriol - that is LITERALLY the bread and butter of SMSM - I have a suggestion. QUIT IT. It's not hard. Simply disconnect from your social media apps and don't access mainstream media. If that sounds difficult, what are the obstacles? If you do a decisional balance matrix on this, it is clear that the benefits of disenfranchising SMSM from your life far outweigh the disadvantages.

In our household, we have boycotted SMSM. We never consume it or engage with it. Instead, we listen to music, read books, watch movies and TV shows, exercise, enjoy each other's company, play with the dogs, go out to eat, socialize, complete various and sundry chores, and get a shite ton (aka, a metric pantload) of shite done. In summary, we are living our best life without SMSM in it. SMSM drains your joy and happiness and destroys your productivity. All in exchange for what?

Fact: You are not the customer of SMSM. You are the PRODUCT. The SMSM companies are selling YOUR EYES, BRAIN, and SOUL to advertisers. You are a commodity to them. The best thing you can do is fire them from your life. You have a lot more autonomy and self agency than SMSM companies want you to think you do. I can guarantee that without SMSM is your life, nothing bad will happen. It is not necessary for any domain of life. But a lot of good will start happening when you kick SMSM to the curb.

Alright, have a great day!
