# Slowly Boiling The Frog
*Slowly boiling the frog* is a phrase behind which stands the idea that people will tolerate a very significant change for the worse if that change is very gradual, even if they would absolutely not tolerate such change being made quickly. It refers to an experiment in which a frog doesn't jump out of boiling water if the water temperature is raised very gradually (even though according to "modern science" this experiment actually doesn't work exactly this way). In essence it can be sad that people won't protest living in bad conditions, they will only protest a quick change for the worse -- this is easily abused by those in power, such as [corporations](corporation.md) and states: [they can](yes_they_can.md) bring any kind of evil to practice if only they invest the time to do it gradually. This pattern is very reliable and used plentifully over and over without people ever learning from it.

For example the amount and aggressiveness of brainwashing [ads](marketing.md) and technological abuse that young people tolerate nowadays would have been absolutely unacceptable a few decades ago, but now it's the reality of life that few even question (some complete retards like that *linus tech* [faggot](faggot.md) even defend it). Imagine you traveled back to 1990s and made the following offer to a random man: wanna buy this device that will be spying on you, show you ads whenever you interact with it, you'll have to pay for it monthly, charge it daily and every two years pay for a new model? He'd tell you must have some serious brain damage to even make that offer. Nowadays the situation is completely opposite: they'll call you retarded if you decline this offer. The frog has been boiled.
