We live in a society, am I right?

I agree with your comment.

I dunno, I mean "song" is a pretty broad term. I'm pretty sure if I'd ever figured out how to work Fruity Loops I could probably prove you wrong there. As long as you're not expecting anything you'd enjoy listening to.

I don't wanna try to do anything; I just think it would be a cool story to tell if it happened naturally. "Dude, I was just walking to my front door after work and BAM!" That kinda thing.

I do agree with the main point of your post; however, I feel that your reasoning is backwards.

Big blockbusters give the masses a dose of placebo. You see a movie where people who hold your values win, so you feel like it happened in real life, so you're less likely to make it happen in real life.

So I'm not spoiling this movie, look at the MCU instead: They defeated Thanos and stopped half the world's population from disappearing, and then we failed to properly fight COVID and Donald Trump gained power.

Now, I know correlation doesn't equal causation, and that there were other factors at play, but I also know that when you perceive the image of something, it activates the same neurons as actually seeing that thing - when you watch The Notebook or Armageddon, you feel the emotions of the characters in the film, and you cry.

That, combined with the other psychological tactics that we are constantly being bombarded with, make it difficult for us to navigate the world with a clear head. When you feel like you're winning, why would you fight?

And also, a TON of people are straight apathetic, and a lot more are just plain-old stupid. And there are dozens or hundreds of other factors such as personality of the audience, socioeconomics, religious beliefs, etc... that come into play here as well. It's not quite as cut-and-dry as "monkey see, monkey feels as though it has done," but that does play a large factor in it.

I typed all this but didn't proofread any of it, so I hope it makes sense. I'm sleepy.

No, but Jason Bourne notices things reflexively. The last line, though stated as serious, should not be taken seriously. You should only steal from large corporations- never individuals. Only monsters steal from individuals.
