12. "All you need is awareness of it"

True. Simple, yet very hard to accept that much of what you believe to be true is propaganda. That much of what you desire isn't based your "own" desire, but projections to keep you consuming happily away (and becoming a debt slave unless you watch out). So cognitive dissonance plays a role.

But you make a very good point. The power pointed out in this thread has had a tremendous impact, but the simple act of awareness can undo it. That's a very nice way to reframe this positively.
