Well, you take a grain of salt when someone pens an article under a pseudonym, i.e. Sigmund Fraud.
1.You pay taxes to people you’d like to see locked up in jail.
If you know how taxes work, you pay taxes to a government: city, county, state, or federal government. Yes, indirectly, the government pays an employee you might want to see in jail, but there are employees who you might like.
2.You go to the doctor, but you’re still sick.
I go to doctors and specialists. I get better afterwards. If it's something I know that is going to pass in time, like a flu or cold, I'm not going to stop in.
3.You’ve picked Team Democrat or Team Republican and argue with your friends, family and co-workers about politics.
I don't argue with people about politics. If we don't see eye to eye, it's usually we agree to disagree. I'm not out to "change" people's minds. So, I don't agree with everything the Republicans support, but I don't agree with most of what the Democrats support.
4.You work hard doing something you hate to earn fiat dollars.
I work hard in something I like to do.
5.You’re willing to accrue personal debt to fund the acquisition of consumer a consumer oriented lifestyle.
I don't get into debt to acquire more. I save up and buy. On top of that, I get credit card rewards so I get paid back money. And because I pay my balance every month, I never pay interest. I'm making money.
6.You converse with real people about the ongoing happenings of TV shows.
Guilty. One day, I talked to an employee about a Family Guy episode.
7.You don’t have anything to hide from total surveillance.
Stay away from my D drive.
8.You think the world would be safer it only governments had guns.
No, I don' think so. And if guns were illegal, I would get a legal weapon. Stick, nunchuck, knife, bow and arrow, whatever.
9.You knowingly drink fluoridated water.
Well, anti-fluorinated water people seem to believe that the fluorine is bad. Yes, in its concentrated form, it is. In a highly diluted form, it's not bad. It's in toothpaste in a diluted form, and yet no complains to Crest or other toothpaste manufacturers.
10.You knowingly consume toxic poisons like MSG and Aspartame.
I stay way from MSG and Aspartame.
11. You depend on the pharmaceutical industrial complex for the management of your own mental health.
I don't take any drugs. And yet, people seem to be fine with recreational drug use of prescription mental health drugs, i.e. uppers, downers, etc., used outside of a doctor's direction.. because it's the cool thing to do.
12. You haven’t yet stopped watching your local and national news programming.
I rarely watch national and local news.
13. You’re more concerned with televised sports or other mindless distractions than you are with the quality of your natural environment.
I care more about what's going on around me. I've missed countless Super Bowls, World Series games, Stanley Cup games, etc. They're just games. The whole regular season repeats the next year.
14. You’re skeptical of any area of life that hasn’t been ‘proven’ or validated by modern science. The very essence of science is the inquiry into the unknown, implying that until science can grasp something, it is unexplainable. By discrediting or ridiculing experiences that other people have, yet evade scientific understanding, like near-death experiences, acupuncture, or the life changing effects of Ayahuasca, then you are slavishly reducing your understanding of the world to a narrow range of possibilities. The matrix is made possible by efforts of volunteer gatekeepers people who are unwilling to think outside of the box.
The author seems to have labeled everything to do with current educational system as "the matrix".
15. You’ve never questioned the popularized version of ancient history and the origins of our civilization.
I've questioned it.
16. You haven’t yet realized that you are a spiritual being living a human experience.
I believe that people have a body, soul and spirit.
But on the real tip, any one picture a cac writing this whole article because his parent's grounded him from Xbox for a week?

we got off on the wrong foot
what would be "enough hard evidence to show current man evolving from primates as factual" for YOU?
so what does the author do? does he work? how does he get paid? does he go to the doctor or take medicine?
what does he do since he isn't a slave in the matrix. like what is a normal week for him?

Its on point. Its no surprise that friends disagree with the article though
What would that change? Unless you're looking for help for an escape.

1 and 2 are stupid.
I agree with the Republican and Democrat thing but not in the conspiracy theory way the author seems to.
fiat dollar and debt thing show a rudimentary understanding of economics.
I agree with the surveillance thing.
people have proven again and again they can't handle guns.
The fluoride thing is beyond stupid.
their are issues with the medical and pharmaceutical industry but not the "they're hiding the cure for cancer from us" way the author implies.
media can certainly manipulate a story.
evolution is real
I dont feel like doing the rest...pretty poor article
