How self-deception allows people to lie
We lie to ourselves to protect our self-images, which allows us to act immorally while maintaining a clear conscience. According to the very latest research, self-deception may have even evolved to help us to persuade others; if we start believing our own lies, it’s much easier to get other people to believe them, too.

The X-Files had a huge influence on many TV series, especially in the sci-fi, horror, and procedural genres. Its blend of serialized mythology with standalone “monster of the week” episodes set a precedent for many shows that followed. The X-Files didn’t just inspire new shows—it also shaped how TV storytelling evolved, blending serialized narratives with episodic adventures in a way that many modern series still use.

“Big fish eat little fish” is an classical proverb that indicates the predatory nature of humans and the vicious cycle of exploitation that exists in the business world; where rich and powerful people or organisations will exploit, swallow up or destroy those who are weaker, poorer and less powerful, and in turn those who are exploited, accordingly, follow the example of those who exploit them.

Project Blue Beam
Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims NASA and the United Nations are planning to create a new world order through a staged, technologically simulated second coming of Christ or an alien invasion. The theory suggests that advanced holographic projections and low-frequency electromagnetic waves will be used to manipulate people’s thoughts and create a global crisis, leading to a totalitarian world government.
The idea was popularized in the 1990s by Serge Monast, a Canadian journalist and conspiracy theorist. However, there is no evidence to support these claims, and mainstream experts dismiss them as baseless speculation.

“Do not believe in something because you are told to. Do not believe in something because a holy person said it. Do not believe in something because you read it from a book. Follow and practice the teaching without prejudice. If it brings happiness to you and others and does not encourage self harm or harm to others then follow it.”

what happens when you let your art be ‘influenced’ by other artists? – Tara Leaver
“And the big daddy that I learned from all this: I actually CAN’T paint like other artists, and nor do I want to. That’s the best thing this exercise has taught me over the years; it’s fun to experiment, to try out what other artists are doing, but if I only ever did that I’d be unfulfilled and dissatisfied. I’d be surrounded by a vegetarian buffet and craving steak.”
