Constant news consumption conditions people to feel powerless, especially the poor, trapping them in a victim mindset. The speaker argues radical personal accountability and daily habits like exercise and meditation can break free from this conditioning, even for a single mother with three kids.
I look at the things that people consume on the news, for example. There's people that are living in poverty, their lives are very hard, and they're watching the news and the news is saying, "Groceries are too expensive," "This food's unhealthy now," or "This person needs to get elected into government or your life is gonna be really bad." And people are just waiting there for something else to happen. And consuming this, I think, is the biggest virus in society because it's conditioning people's subconscious to not even want to try because it's like, oh, it's beyond me. I need this person to get elected in order for my life to get better. I need the price of gas to go down in order for me to do this, whatever. And I think it's the biggest virus in society and it's keeping people down. And there's a— it's a huge system that's very hard to break. The truth is, anyone, no matter what your circumstances are, you have to take radical accountability for your life. Yes. And you could be a single mother with 3 kids and living in poverty, but you can still get up in the morning, you can still exercise, you can still do things like the Perfect Walk or the meditation or whatever it may be, and your life can change. But when you consistently consume things that keep you chained down, it's very hard to break free of that.
