Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, etc didn’t just start trying to groom your children with movies like Turning Red.
They have been #Groomers for decades by using some of your most beloved movies/TV shows that you thought were wholesome.
Here’s how 🧵:
Children’s media has been trying to subconsciously teach your children 2 things:
1. Monsters are sad misunderstood creatures that just need to be treated with love and compassion.
2. Monsters are actually safe and friendly and their monstrous side is just a defense mechanism.
The reoccurring trope that these movies try to push on kids is that we ought to make friends and fall in love with monsters and beasts and even become more like them in the process.
This is an attempt at integrating the strange, the weird, the fringe, the marginal, the outcasts of society, the monsters in the periphery, into the larger group.
Sesame Street is the top offenders in this category — the entire vision of the show is a community whose identity is defined by the presence of monsters.
This is an attempt to normalize monstrous qualities and try to make them not only acceptable but celebrated.
This tells your kids they shouldn’t be afraid of monsters but that they should think they are fun, silly, and educational.
The trope of the friendly monster and the declawed beast teaches kids to be trusting of things that would otherwise deter them.
How to Train Your Dragon for example, is centered around the friendship between a young boy and a dragon named “Toothless” who has no teeth.
The point is to teach kids that what is imposing, scary, or even uncomfortable just needs to be given a chance.
It teaches them to let their guard down which is a fundamental part of grooming practices.
This move went completely unnoticed by most people.
The assumption was that these children’s movies/shows would help kids get over the fear of the “monsters in the closet”.
(Do I need to explain the symbolism of ‘coming out of the closet’?)
The problem of course, is that kids SHOULD be afraid of monsters.
There may not be hairy monsters hiding in the closet or lurking under their bed, but there are very real, very dangerous monsters in the world that want nothing more than to devour your children.
If you’re wondering why young people seem so much more open to these radical progressive ideologies it is because they have been condition, by mainstream children’s media, to be accepting of monsters since the age of 3.
They are starting to make more brazen attempts to indoctrinate your children through movies Turning Red, but the reality is that they have been subtly paving the way for this for decades.
What starts as “just a movie” turns into “just 100 movies” that your kids have been watching on repeats for years consuming these subliminal messages.
If you don’t see this you haven’t been paying attention, but unfortunately your kids have, and that’s the problem.

On Artificial Intelligence, Noetic Experience, and Transhumanism🧵
Proponents of so-called artificial “intelligence” make the mistake of reducing intellect purely to logos without any notion of noetic knowing (Nous).
This notion limits all kind of knowing to the purely propositional with no room for participatory (experiential) knowledge.
This is deeply connected to the continued push towards transhumanism.
By treating “intelligence” as purely propositional/logical, it reduces man to simply a complex computer and not an experiencing, feeling, loving, conscious agent who can perceive sacramental realities.
The idea that something that when something is “symbolic” it only represents something real (rather than being real itself) is a very modern idea that is the exact opposite of how ancient people understood the world. 1/
In classic Platonic thought, symbols participate in the reality that they represent (as in make present again — re-present).
There was no separation between symbol and reality. Everything that existed, was a symbol 2/
The words “symbolic” and “diabolical” are antonyms.
Symbolic = “to bring together” (unity)
Diabolical = “to tear apart” (disunity)
A symbolic properly understood is the meeting of Heaven (meaning, forms, ideals) and Earth (matter, physicality, “stuff”) 3/
Human beings’ only experience with dinosaurs comes from modern archeology. Our collective human memory of dinosaurs is restricted to only the experience of finding their remains in archeological digs and our cinematic representations of what we imagine they are like.
Although materialists would like us to think that because we have no archaeological evidence of dragons this means they are not real, this is ignorance.
The experience of the dragon is imbedded into the human psyche in a way that dinosaurs never have or will be.
