The most destructive mind drug is ideology. And yet the most common mind drug today is ideology. Ideology is the great junk drug for your mind. Modern media is full to the brim with ideology and so this mind drug is already lodged inside your mind's eye [see photo].
Modern media is injecting ideology straight into your mind's each and every minute of your day. You support your ideology by the media you watch, listen to, or otherwise absorb.
Most folk are drugged to their eyeballs with their chosen ideology. Each, and every, day like any other drug addict you need your fix. You must get your fix of ideology. The convenient thing for you is that you have a smartphone within your immediate reach to self administer your drug of choice. The issue with self administration of this ideology drug is that you might not get exactly the dose you need at that moment. In these moments many under fed ideology druggies go off to rant and rave on social media and elsewhere.
The universal mind drug is ideology yet most individuals do not know they are addicts nor do they know how to self regulate their fix. The default setting for most ideology addicts is to join a collective, or a group, who share your drug of choice. Inside your collective you [as an ideology drug addict] can get your fill at anytime of the day or night. And as an ideology
druggie who stays within his or her collective there is little impact on your life. The only issue I see for you is that many ideology druggies do not acknowledge the fact that they are dependent upon a daily fix. We see this when those on a different set of ideology mind drugs clash. These ideology clashes are not often resolved through rational means and so they escalate to irrational levels.
In these drug filled times the universal mind drug is ideology. And yet if I ask you what drugs you are on I imagine that you will tell me about the medications you take for your physical and psychological ailments. And that is fine. But when I alert you to the fact that you are also on this or that ideology mind drug you will immediately deny it. Which means that the real danger of an ideology mind drug is that it remains an invisial factor in most addicts lives.
