content: Exactly.  We have let them turn our best and worst quality against us-- that we value cooperative behavior and punish defection (in game theory, usually selfishness).  We let them define normal evolutionary behaviors like self-segregation and favoring our own "tribe" for procreation as selfish defection from an "enlightened" society, and thereby turned our own self-policing mechanisms against ourselves. Interestingly, one of the biggest turning points for me was recognizing my own weakness for manipulation based on expected behavior-- and this was long before I even thought about the JQ.  Once I started thinking "selfishly" (i.e. in my own interest and not others', but not harming others for my gain) I started waking up to how so many of my behaviors were based on societal expectations set up as "public goods" we need to "cooperate for", like being OK with forgoing job opportunities for diversity because "other disadvantaged groups need them more".  They have used social messaging built up over decades of media control to completely warp our values so that our own tendency to self-police becomes a trap whereby they control us.
