This is part 7 of and 8-part series about things to watch out for, so they can avoid being Psyop.

Who?
Asking the question of “Who” is usually the most beneficial to ask, since they usually point out the culprit if there is any. Many people will take offense when their name is attached to a wrongdoing, which they deliberately take part in. People react to these questions are something to analyze too if there does seem to be a pattern.
Who benefits from this?
Who is this harmful to?
Who decides about this?
Who is most directly affected?
Who have you also heard discuss this?
Who would be the best person to consult?
Who will be the key people in this?
Who deserves recognition for this?

What?
Questions involving “What” are usually the questions we normally initially ask. However, most of our initial “What” questions are considered simple. Providing more variety of the type of “What” question you ask can be beneficial, although it might take experience to know what to ask.

What are the strengths/weaknesses?
What is another perspective?
What is another alternative?
What would be a counterargument?
What is the best/worst case scenario?
What is most/least important?
What can we do to make a positive change?
What is getting in the way of our action?

Where?

Knowing how to ask a “Where” question can be tricky. Not only can “Where” refer to physical place, it can also identify mental aspects. Sometimes people have a different view of the world and how to treat people, depending on their background. Especially with participation in the digital age, the concept of talking to someone from a different part of the world, with a different ethical background, becomes ever more prevalent.

Where would we see this in the real world?
Where are there similar concepts/situations?
Where is there the most need for this?
Where in the world would this be a problem?
Where can we get more information?
Where do we go for help with this?
Where will this idea take us?
Are there areas for improvement?

When?

One key thing to make note of is when, especially in the real world, involving cameras. It’s easier to go back and rewatch the film if the time of an incident is documented. However, it’s also important to note that even people go through lows and highs throughout life; different times of greater strength and weakness, perpetuated by events around them.

When is this acceptable/unacceptable?
When would this benefit our society?
When would this cause a problem?
When is the best time to act?
When will we know we’ve succeeded?
When has this played a part in our history?
When can we expect this to change?
When should we ask for help with this?

Why?

Probably the most important set of questions are the “Why” questions. The only thing about “Why” questions that people should consider is the fact that the answers to them can be rather unpleasant. People tend to not want to ask tough questions. Some of the most important “Why” questions aren’t asked because of this.

Why is this a problem/challenge?
Why is it relevant to me/others?
Why is this the best/worst scenario?
Why are people influenced by this?
Why should people know about this?
Why has it been this way for so long?
Why have we allowed this to happen?
Why is there a need for this today?

How?

When it comes to fixing a problem, or learning something new, nothing is better than a “How” question. Knowledge is power, to some degree, this is another reason why asking “How?” is so influential.

How is this similar to?
How does this disrupt things?
How does this benefit us/others?
How does this harm us/others?

Let’s be honest, the average person may vary in research skills. Some people are actually talented in regard to privately researching through stuff posted on the internet. The media tends to invoke a bigger sense of authority, that they really don’t have, to promote people to do things they may not have done otherwise. This can be seen, being done on social media and other mainstream fake news outlets. However, to catch deceit, usually it’s better to understand the patterns in the way deceit is pushed, as compared to knowing all the facts on something being pushed. However, most people go on about their lives, constantly getting screwed over, and never trying to notice or learn about how to recognize and avoid it.

If you’re ever wondering if something is morally correct or wrong, ask yourself what the importance of an activity or an idea is. Look for an answer where you have actual tangible results. If the answer to the questions has something to do with morality or has an intangible goal. then you have most likely fallen victim to anchoring. Most people, when they start honestly asking themselves the reasoning behind things they do, usually find out they have been manipulated by others into doing said tasks. Most of these people go through a denial process when they first learn about being manipulated though. This is usually because becoming deprogrammed usually presents new problems, with emotional distress, since people are always unlikely to desire departing from things, they are comfortable with, even if that happens to be a hurtful idea that they adopted.
