that’s the truth

The only way to
stay clean and sober
is to

Stop and Think
and find
The Truth

Unfortunately
our survival instinct
to
Think Fast

(like a lizard
reacts fast
to survive)

gets in the way of
the sort of
Slow Thinking

that us humans need to do
to stay
clean and sober

---

Here’s an example
of what
Slow Thinking
can do for you

Let’s pretend that
inflation never happened

and
just for fun
let’s say

a bat and a ball cost
$1.10

and
the bat costs

one dollar more
than the ball

How much is the ball?

You believe
the ball costs ten cents

But that’s not
The Truth

You are wrong

Now
Stop And Think

Go back up
and
try again

This time
Stop
And
Think

S – L – O – W – L – Y

I’ll wait
Cue Jeopardy! music

Some of you
because you really
stopped to think about it
now know
the correct answer

Most of you
still believe that
the ball costs
ten cents

Here’s
The Truth

The thing
that caused you
to incorrectly believe
that the ball costs
ten cents
is called

COGNITIVE BIAS

cognitive bias
a systematic pattern of deviation from norm or rationality in judgment in humans

Instead of relying on objective truth, cognitive bias causes individuals to create their
own subjective truth from the information they receive, resulting in distorted behavior,
inaccurate judgment, illogical interpretation and irrationality.

Since the generic store brand shortening is actually identical to Crisco® shortening, she
wasted money buying Crisco® shortening, due to her cognitive bias.

Because false advertising (i.e., lying) by corporations is illegal in the United States,
cognitive bias is instead programmed into computer algorithms that are used in
advertising to systematically control what people believe, how people make decisions
and how people decide to act.

Facebook, Google and TV advertising manipulate cognitive bias to stoke an outrage machine that has supplanted old-fashioned public discourse.

Half the world’s people want to kill the other half, and vice versa, as a result of
cognitive bias manipulation.

Lying to its citizens (i.e., government propaganda) by the United States government
has been legal since the Patriot Act passed following the September 11, 2001 and
subsequent anthrax attacks. Government propaganda uses cognitive bias to establish
tribes against tribes, the good guys against the bad guys, the West versus the East, the
Red People against the Blue People, etc. in order to distract its citizens, so those in
power can get more power without being noticed.

Cognitive bias caused a mob to attack the U.S. Capitol.

There are over 220 types of cognitive biases which advertising and government
propaganda use to cause people to make wrong decisions without their realization.

Your cognitive bias caused you to believe that the ball costs ten cents, and it happened to you without any realization that it was happening to you.

Cognitive bias
means that
for the most part

you don’t control
what you believe

until you learn to
Stop and Think

Cognitive bias
means that
for the most part

others control
what you believe

until you learn to
Stop and Think

Cognitive bias
means that
a lot of

what you believe
is not
The Truth

I remember
the old days when
news was a public service

I remember
the old days when
news was not for profit

Today
news is
a great big profit machine
telling lies for profit

by showing you advertising
designed to

make you buy shit
you don’t need

and

make you
believe shit

that’s
Not The Truth

for profit

And don’t forget where
you get your
“free” news and advertising

on Amazon
on Facebook
on Google
on TV
on YouTube
on busses
on billboards
on anything
on everything
oh my

If you aren’t
paying for your news

you are getting
fake news

and that means
you are
Google’s Bitch

dedicated to

reducing
addicts’

(and their
friends
and families)

suffering

by telling
The Truth

about
addiction
addiction recovery
the addiction recovery business
and
the addiction recovery profiteers

GetAFuckingSponsor.org
attempts to
reduce addict suffering
and
early death

without all
the happy horse shit
the addiction recovery business
bombards addicts with

One Day At A Time

That’s horse shit
when all you want
is another bump!

And that’s
The Truth

As the optimistic
little kid said on
Christmas morning

when he saw
a great big pile of shit
under the tree

there’s a pony
in there somewhere

My hope is
the
GetAFuckingSponsor.org
website
is your pony

And that’s
The Truth

The incorrect answer is
the ball costs ten cents

Instead of
thinking through
the problem carefully

you jumped to
a conclusion

You jumped to
the wrong conclusion

You didn’t
Stop and Think

just like you don’t
Stop and Think
when you watch
The Evening News

Humans
jump to conclusions
all the time

So do lizards

because

lizards
don’t think
because they can’t

and

humans can think
but they don’t

Both humans and lizards
jump to
the wrong conclusions

much more often
than they realize

When you quickly
jump to a conclusion
you are wrong
more often than not

and

you don’t know you’re wrong
due to your

COGNITIVE BIAS

---

The correct answer
is

the ball costs a nickel

The bat and ball
cost $1.10

The bat costs
one dollar more than the ball
= $1.05 for the bat
+
$0.05 for the ball
=
$1.10

And that’s
The Truth

---

When I told you
that you
were wrong about

the cost of the ball
you didn’t
believe me

Humans hate
to be told that
they are wrong

You can
never tell
someone that
they are wrong

because
he won’t believe you

No one will ever
change his mind
when you tell them that
they are wrong

You can’t expect to
stay clean and sober
without knowing
The Truth
about yourself

so you can become
the real person
you never were

Sponsors

Stop and Think

you never were

Recovering addicts
need to
GetAFuckingSponsor
and
GetAFuckingSponsee

to help you
find a new way
to think about things

to
Stop and Think

and find
The Truth

And that’s
The Truth

Don’t worry too much
about jumping to conclusions

It’s almost impossible
not to jump to a conclusion
every now and then

We’re only human

Lizards don’t think
because they can’t

Addicts don’t think
but they can
