Mountaintops was an important song as part of my artistic healing and recentring but the recording quality, the song itself etc leave me hungry for something better. I’ve got many songs written which I will record and put out as well to keep momentum going. However, I am not satisfied.

Fun fact about me: I enjoy alcohol free beers. I don't like alcohol but I enjoy the taste and mouth feel of beer. Luckily, they sell many alcohol free beers at the grocery store.

Also, I sobriety is really beautiful when you have a well adjusted psyche and purpose. I never had a problem with alcohol and I never really drank much. But, with Weed it was an addiction.

The early tricklings of making a living from my life purpose 

[Thought Art]

I want to read more books on letting go, forgiveness, inner peace, tranquility, and relaxation. I also want to continue with my contemplation on Leo's mega list of emotions. I should have time this winter if I am disciplined. But, I also have to admit I am in an achiever phase.

You’re touching on a range of factors that indeed can impact cognitive function, decision-making, and susceptibility to misinformation. Issues like educational quality, media consumption, environmental factors, and health all contribute to how people interpret information, trust sources, and engage with society. Here’s a breakdown of how each factor plays into the broader picture:

 

    1.    Education Quality and Critical Thinking: Access to quality education, especially one that promotes critical thinking, media literacy, and evidence-based reasoning, can make a significant difference in people’s ability to discern facts from misinformation. When education systems fall short in these areas, it leaves individuals more vulnerable to appealing but misleading narratives.

    2.    Media Consumption and Polarization: Many news outlets now cater to specific political ideologies, often emphasizing sensationalism or emotional appeal over accuracy. When individuals consume media from only a few sources that reinforce their views, it creates “echo chambers” that deepen biases. Social media algorithms also push people toward content that aligns with past interactions, which can reinforce divisive ideas.

    3.    Nutrition and Cognitive Health: There’s strong evidence linking good nutrition to cognitive function, focus, and emotional regulation. Diets high in processed foods, added sugars, and unhealthy fats can impair mental clarity, increase irritability, and, over time, may impact reasoning abilities. A well-nourished brain is often more resilient and capable of critical thinking.

    4.    Environmental Toxins and Heavy Metal Exposure: Studies have shown that long-term exposure to pollutants and heavy metals, like lead or mercury, can impair cognitive function and lead to behavioral issues. Low-income areas, in particular, often face greater exposure to these contaminants, exacerbating health and cognitive challenges.

    5.    Economic Stress and Survival Mode Thinking: Chronic financial insecurity and economic stress put people into a “survival mode” mindset, focusing on immediate needs rather than long-term analysis. This can impair higher reasoning and make people more susceptible to emotionally charged narratives.

    6.    Psychological and Social Dynamics: The psychological need for belonging and identity can lead people to affiliate strongly with groups or leaders who seem to “speak their truth,” even if that truth lacks factual grounding. This is often amplified by social dynamics, where challenging group beliefs can result in social exclusion, which many people are unwilling to risk.

 

All these factors intertwine, influencing how people process information and make decisions. The outcome is a complex landscape where many people may follow narratives that feel validating or comfortable, even if these narratives lack basis in fact. It’s a stark reminder of why addressing foundational issues like education, health, and environmental quality are vital for a resilient society and a well-functioning democracy.
