The state of mind once programmed thinking has been obliterated and all that's left is critical thinking and a mind free of radicals that destroy the progression of a people.
I am so glad I'm deprogrammed; my purpose is finally in clear view.
I didn't know that the classical musiccame from Africa; damn I need to be deprogrammed!
Deprogrammed is the project of Otto Cate - an artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer who began in the electronic scene in the late 80's. Otto, who studied under Colorado Symphony percussionist Ted Small, has been spearheading independent projects in the Electronic, Industrial and Metal genres throughout his career. Since his initial audio experiments in a small basement studio, his vision has grown progressively stronger and more complex.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
