This is especially true in the world of “normalization” that is increasingly commonplace. As I have become more aware of this, I have found that our daily lives are now so normalized that we are afraid of the outside world.
This is because we now think of the world outside our immediate environment as something that can destroy us or harm us. In the past, we could live outside our immediate environment with relatively little fear, but now we fear the world around us because we actually have so little control over it.
You may be thinking that this isn’t too bad. In fact, it’s actually quite great, and it is why you will probably want to sign up for our newsletter. Over the past few months, I have become more aware of the things that are out there to harm us and the things we can do to protect ourselves.
All of this “self-awareness” comes with a price. Its difficult to think when you are actually having to do it. It is a constant fight against an invisible but powerful force that has no interest in allowing you to see yourself. And its not just about the things that you are aware of, or that you think you are, but also the things that you arent. Some of these things are pretty easy to spot and avoid, but then there are others that arent so obvious.
A lot of people are afraid to admit that they are afraid. They fear that their fear is not real, that this fear is just a story they tell themselves about themselves. Its easy to think that you can stop it by making yourself strong and not having to do anything that might be harmful. But this is a false sense of security. You can stop it but you cant stop everything.
It helps, I think, to know that this isn’t quite true. For example, I know how easy it is to convince yourself that your fear of spiders in your house is not real. But spiders are a fairly common household pest. They are just one of several things that people fear.

Now, if you do that enough times in a day, then you’re going to start to believe it. However, if you’re a regular consumer of the internet, chances are you’ve been conditioned to believe it. We’ve all probably seen the “but if I do this, I’ll be safe” meme that pops up on forums like this one, and it’s one that is true to a large extent.
But you dont know if youre being conditioned or if its true. The belief that you can get rid of spiders, or that you can be safe from them is one of the most universal and widespread beliefs in the modern world. It is so common that it is referred to as normalization purity. And one of the core beliefs behind this purity is that any perceived threat to this purity is dangerous and therefore must be eliminated.
A large reason for this belief is that in times when information overload is not a problem, the belief that someone else is controlling us is a real threat. But when information overload is a problem and we need to be able to absorb more information, there is no need to be afraid or worried about being controlled by others.
