  • Summary

  • I wrote Delusions of Helping because regardless of who wins the 2024 Election; it's a guaranteed disaster. Welcome to Delusions of Helping. This podcast focuses on the negative impacts of disinformation. Arguing that disinformation is far more pervasive than currently believed, and the negative effects of disinformation are so great that it causes people of all types to delusionally believe they are supporting helpful initiatives when in fact they are creating widespread harm that prevents society and lives from improving. By shedding light on our individual and collective delusions that hinder our ability to truly help others, this podcast aims to inspire a shift towards genuine assistance that positively improves people’s lives. Presently, our efforts to make a difference are insincere, ineffective, and overly assertive. We falsely believe that we are contributing significantly to bettering the world, yet in reality, our actions ultimately impede social progress due to our misguided perceptions caused by disinformation. This podcast encourages us to remove our blinders and develop a deep awareness of the pervasive distortions around suffering and altruism. Individuals and organizations frequently manipulate the masses into believing false narratives about the current state of reality and the intricate mechanisms of life as they strategically aim to influence us to allocate resources to them. This is done under the guise of false promises, suggesting that in exchange for our resources, they will benefit our lives and create a ripple effect of positive change for the broader community. The primary beneficiaries of these efforts are the organizations acquiring resources and their leaders, employees, and investors, while those external to these organizations do not experience improvements, leading society and individuals to suffer negative consequences.

    2024 Election Guaranteed Disaster
    Oct 14 2024
    On Tuesday, November 5th, the day of the 2024 American Presidential Election, over 155,000,000 Americans each check a few boxes, wear a sticker, post publicly about their commitment to civic engagement, and feel like they did their part. Then later in the evening, voters and non-voters stream various channels as results pour in. In a couple of hours, days, or weeks, eventually, someone will be declared the winner. Those on the winning side will celebrate the incredible gains that they made happen by supporting the winning candidate because now America and the world are saved. They believe that everyone can rest easy because the righteous side won and they have the perfect plan to fix all the ills across our nation. These supporters are certain that by the next election, everyone throughout the nation will be super rich living amazing lives and America will be a safe high-functioning utopia now that the right leader is in power. On the losing side, they are certain that America will fall further as a wasteland into mass chaos, and they will continue fighting the new oppressive regime that will do everything possible to harm America. The two diverging views are correct in predicting what will transpire in America when the opposing side wins. However, both viewpoints are highly delusional about the benefits of their side winning. Because both sides falsely believe that when their side wins the election their own lives will be transformed and their communities will be drastically improved.
