Are we as humans born deluded?

I always think most humans are deluded in their own way, do you think most are born that way?

By deluded I mean acting really insane after being born. In more depth when someone is deluded are they also born with mental health issues that makes them deluded if so to what extent?

    Sadly, the human mind is a delusion machine. But, defenses against delusion can be learned. Mathematics, logic, and the scientific method are the central focus of the skills needed to recognize reality. It is your job as a parent to teach these to your kids. Trusting schools to do the job thoroughly only indicates your own delusionment.

    The adults in their life (normally their parents) either allow their children to be deluded by others or teach them its normal; and that its normal to believe certain sources in society.

    The world would be a much better place if parents maintained better control and taught their children how to separate facts from fiction and how to consider multiple sides of an issue.

    Sadly, many parents (at least in the USA) feel that its the school systems responsibility to teach basic information like that, and the school system is set up to teach people to be employees (get a job); and not to be an independent successful person.

    Nah they're just brainwashed by the educational system and TV flicker rate

      I can't tell if you're serious or not. The educational system does try to brainwash the youth, but tv's Hz has nothing to do with brainwashing.

        Im 100% serious.

        Video is a series of still images refreshed to create the illusion of a moving picture. The refresh rate coupled with the concentric circles and converging lines they use as backgrounds in news broadcasts is a hypnotism technique. It triggers a sensory overload that makes you more likely to subconsciously accept the programming. It's literal MK Ultra brainwashing.

        The flicker rate is important. Lights blinking at a certain rate can trigger epilepsy for an example.

            1. A method for manipulating the nervous system of a subject located near a monitor, the monitor emitting an electromagnetic field when displaying an image by virtue of the physical display process, the subject having a sensory resonance frequency, the method comprising:
            creating a video signal for displaying an image on the monitor, the image having an intensity;
            modulating the video signal for pulsing the image intensity with a frequency in the range 0.1 Hz to 15 Hz; and
            setting the pulse frequency to the resonance frequency.

    No-one is born deluded. We have a tendency to pick stuff up quickly when we are first born, though. So if you have a batshit crazy family, you're likely to share pick up their delusion and continue their trends unless you educate yourself.

    We are all products of not only hereditary, but products of our environment.

      Imagine how much better the world would be if the focus of education wasn't conformity to societal standards.
