You are quite correct! And the "weaker minds" are those that are trapped in placing their attention on the monkey-mind chatter stream we mistakenly call "my thoughts" or "thinking".
If you want to read a great book, read "How Emotions are Made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett. She decimates classical neuroscience, which you've probably learned quite a bit about when it comes to emotions. She proposes that we don't "react" to the world around us, but instead "predict" based on our prior experience. In effect, we conjure up our own private little delusional realities. In effect, there's no such thing as the "universal emotion essence/construct" that we inherit from our ancestors delivered by the amygdala or theoretical (and unreal) so-called "limbic system".
And the longer you live, the more ingrained and unassailable our "predictions" become. Hence the "old dog, new tricks" phenomenon.
She calls her thesis the theory of "Constructed emotion".
In effect, what she is saying, but didn't directly say, is that there is but ONE reality "out there" that almost nobody is "living in". But instead, there are 7.8 billion unique "versions" of reality that the brainwashed masses don't realize they're trapped within.
Anyway, the controllers have known this all too well for over a century, since the days of Edward Bernays. And they've kept it to themselves while they teach their students lies, deceptions and half-truths in order to maintain their advantage over us.
You're at a great age to take on more information and evaluate your university education versus all the suppressed research which is out there to be found by those who are curious.
Keep up with your curiosity and skepticism. Take nothing at face value. Assume with any and all "settled science" you run across that there is a counter-claim that's been dismissed by the authorities. And said counter-claim is more often than not, the correct conclusion, which is why it is being ignored and suppressed by our nefariously-controlled education system.
All this to say, the most powerful things in our lives are thoughts and emotions. Not only are we not being taught anything accurate about either, but each are dismissed almost completely in our educational framework. And yet they are the drivers of everybody's lives, health and well-being from dusk until dawn, 24x7.
