Sol Luckman
“We need to recognize that social media is far more than just a harmless distraction or handy tool.

Rather, it has been brilliantly architected as a comprehensive net or web for the mind that can be used to alter our thoughts and behaviors, and from there redirect the creative focus of our attention, usually without our even realizing it.”
Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“The world brought into being by people through their (installed) belief systems can be manipulated by anyone—or anything—powerful and knowledgeable enough to pull the right emotional strings to produce … the desired beliefs!”
Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality
