People become incapable of determined and structured thought, simple reason, abstract linear thinking, and disinterested in anything beyond their social group associations or personal ego-driven fixations. \u00a0 Their behavior is not determined by reason, right knowledge, or by right thinking, but by their fixations, mental-sets, conditioning, and compliance to the dominant social and cultural paradigm. \u00a0 \u00a0Thus forfeiting the powers of individual intelligence people self-select out of their intelligence growth potential. Conscience gets atrophied and good value judgement wanes into insignificance; suggestibility is heightened so much that people are easily programmed to disregard all inner sense of morality and responsibility and accept a mechanical reward and punishment morality dictated and enforced by a religion, a government, a superstition, racial or cultural mind-sets, or by whatever new fashion that might arise. \u00a0 \u00a0People then devolute and become \u201cnormal\u201d automatons of herd mentality. \u00a0 Once reaching this level people are easy marks for the propagandists and manipulators who are expert at exploiting the fears and hopes of the gullible masses by systematically controlling imagination and anxiety through suggestion that evokes emotion.<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>next click <a title=\"Sophisticated Techniques\" href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/sophisticated-techniques\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/29-DSCI1813-004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1663\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/29-DSCI1813-004.jpg\" alt=\"gullible\" width=\"798\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/29-DSCI1813-004.jpg 798w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/29-DSCI1813-004-150x97.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/29-DSCI1813-004-501x324.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/overall-best-value-002.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1610\" src=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/overall-best-value-002.jpg\" alt=\"easy\" width=\"800\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/overall-best-value-002.jpg 800w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/overall-best-value-002-150x44.jpg 150w, http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/overall-best-value-002-501x148.jpg 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EASY MARKS \u00a0 \u00a0 The inner delusion becomes fixed and then the outer illusion is seen as real. \u00a0Delusion is the foundation for frustration and bewilderment and people generally forget about what is right and adopt what is easy. \u00a0 \u00a0Attachment to the ego-notion is the primary inner delusion and is the hub on which &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/easy-marks\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Easy Marks<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1664,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1673","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1673"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1673\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1682,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1673\/revisions\/1682"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/gnostiko.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
