“Much of the world around us is predicated on keeping us asleep.”

Much of the world is engineered to keep us asleep, lulled by comfort, screens, and endless distractions. We’re conditioned to accept routines, to consume without questions, and fear genuine connection.

Underneath the glossy surface of convenience and entertainment, there’s a system eager to sedate our curiosity, creativity, and dissent. What if the news, notifications, and even the comfort foods we seek are all subtle lullabies designed to keep us docile?

The cost of staying asleep is steep — stagnation, loss of self, and the quiet death of potential.

It’s time to challenge the narratives, shatter the cycles, and bravely awaken.

EXERCISE:

Examine who profits from us staying asleep. What might we reclaim by waking up?
