I was watching a “Different World” with my wife recently (one of the greatest television shows ever btw lol) and one of the main characters Dwayne Wayne was speaking to his students about fleas in a jar. Every day they would jump up attempting to get out of the jar, but they would hit their head on the lid. One day after many days the lid was removed. However, by this time the fleas no longer attempted to jump because they had been conditioned to the lid still being on the container.
The fleas were now free to leap, but the fear of bumping their head and of being kept in the jar kept them from leaping. A lot of people in society are still in the Jar. Regardless of your race, society has done a wonderful job of keeping the majority of the population in a jar without a lid because it's more productive for the “system”.
In this episode, we’ll dive into the crabs in a barrel mentality. How we become like a flea circus and the components that make the show operate.
We’ll also explore areas of opportunities to escape the “trap”
