    How they are being manipulated by so many things; advertisements, the media, influencers, social media posts, the entertainment industry. The biases aren’t all bad but they definitely exist.

      The big one for me is even worse, the way they were raised.

      “I became my own person” no you fucking didn’t, you still hold fundamental biases and function based on things you aren’t even aware of.

      Everything is programmed in, EVERYTHING.

      You think eating bugs is gross? Programmed in.

      You hate the number 4(parts of asia)? Programmed in.

      You sing Happy Birthday at a party while serving a cake? Programmed in.
