What if your entire personality was just software—written by parents, schools, ads, trauma, and culture?

This two-part special dives deep into Robert Anton Wilson’s mind-bending manual for self-reprogramming: Prometheus Rising.

Part 1 covers Circuits 1 through 4—survival, emotion, ego, and social roles—and how each one hijacked your nervous system.

Watch it. Question everything.
