True Life podcast
You're not burned out
You're being farmed
You're not tired because you're weak
You're tired because something
is feeding on your attention
And it doesn't want you awake
It wants you functional
Let me say the quiet part out loud
Burnout is not a personal
failure, burnout as a feature. A regulated nervous system doesn't panic by, it doesn't doom
scroll, it doesn't obey stupid authority just to feel safe. So the system keeps you slightly
fried, slightly anxious, slightly behind, just enough cortisol to keep you compliant, just enough
exhaustion to stop you from asking dangerous questions you don't live in a free society you live in a
soft captivity padded with convenience and dopamine no bars no guards just rhythms i didn't realize this
for years i thought i was ambitious turns out i was trained i thought i was disciplined turns out
I was afraid of stillness.
I filled every gap with noise, podcasts, news, music, productivity.
Because silence felt illegal.
And that's when it hit me.
If silence feels dangerous, you are not living in your own nervous system.
You are living in a rented one.
Here's what no one wants to admit.
Most people don't have thoughts.
They have reflexes.
You can predict their opinions by predicting their fear.
Watch how fast they defend the very systems that hollow them out.
That's not ignorance.
That's Stockholm syndrome with better branding.
And psychedelics, meditation, breathwork, powerful.
And yeah, they work.
But without integration, they become tourism.
You glimpse freedom.
then return to the same cage and call it insight.
The system loves that version of awakening.
It changes nothing.
Ancient initiations didn't ask, what do you believe?
They ask, what are you loyal to under pressure?
Because that's where the truth lives.
The body never lies.
It flinches, it freezes, it obeys.
until something interrupts the rhythm.
That's what altered states were for.
Not bliss.
Disobedience.
A temporary jailbake from inherited fear, a chance to feel.
Oh, this is what it's like to be unowned.
So here's the question I want stuck in everyone's head today.
If your life suddenly slowed down,
Would you feel peace or would you feel terror?
Because terror means the machine is still inside you
and it will fight to stay.
You don't need motivation.
You don't need healing.
You need deprogramming.
I'll see you guys tomorrow.
You come on the way, wow, way, way, way, way, way, way.
It's me a heart.
Yeah, that's all the people.
You go!
