Well Allan it doesn't take a PhD in psychology to realise many have disconnected their "smart brain" from the rest of their body! I've only recently gone back onto Twitter, out of interest as to what the masses are saying, and I'm so shocked at the brainless regurgitation of propaganda that in times past would have only been the creation of Monty Python, The Goodies, or the like.
Let me kick off the conversation, if I may, with another quote from Meerloo... "Through the process of conditioning people often learn to like and to do what they are allowed to like and do." This so reminds me of reports of people so conditioned to wear masks that they felt exposed and vulnerable without one. Or the people who became conditioned to the feeling of threat when being outside around people that they developed agoraphobia. I would suggest this is classical conditioning (if we assume there is no punishment or reward associated with masks or going outside in these circumstances, they just felt 'wrong' or 'vulnerable' or 'anxious' without the safety of their face covering or house).
It is a strong strait of being human that we naturally, biologically and psychologically, adapt to our environments. That is how we, as a species, managed to survive and thrive,
Take the nose as an example. We acclimatise to the smells of an enclosed space and don't feel great discomfit or difference until we move away from them - others move into them. Have people ever wondered why some unwashed people smell and yet they don't seem to notice their own stench? How is that we are ok with our own farts, but not of others? Because we have acclimatised.
Look at people living in dire or extreme conditions - they have managed to adapt.
Re the masking :
I suspect it is a mix of superstition or belief. Why would adults mask their kids when they are not forced to? Because they believed that since the masks were effective on adults, they should be effective in kids. With health, people are naturally cautious and erring on the side of conservative. When we were forced to wear masks outdoors, I saw one pensioner who had his mask on in his home, for the reasons mentioned. Also, the type of people plays a role as well. Most volunteer maskers are south east Asians in Australia. A handful still wear masks in cars - as drivers or passengers! There are pictures of Asian mothers voluntarily masking their kids in articles by the SMH. Those people are generally very nosey. Yet they don't ask why others don't wear masks like them!
Biologically, notice how many old couples grew to look quite similar, or at least in certain facial features? Take the billionaire Lindsay Fox, of Linfox, and his wife. How come? Because they have biologically acclimatised!
People are easily manipulated through fear, ignorance, lies and rewards. The main reason is that they don't think for themselves, and ask hard questions. The main reason for this apathy is due to a lack of time and incapacity to do so. When asked them basic questions about the forced vaxing, they could see clearly what the answers should be; yet they did not accept nor asked me follow-up questions. Take the example mentioned earlier re masking. Not one ever asked me why I did not wear one.
Everything begins with DESIRE. With a strong impulse to overcome. This impulse is called INERTIA - and manifests in intellectual and physical lack of curiosity and movement, Remember that one of the seven deadlies is SLOTH. If we give in to inertia intellectually and physically, the outcomes are dire obvious.
If a critical mass started demanding proper information, search and ask hard questions ab initio, we would not be in this mess. This is why people lie - to condition people and conduct themselves in a certain way. The problem also points to the solution - they are connected.
Interesting and valuable, thank you. Conditioning is however just to mild and represents a fraction of what is going on now. Or rather, it’s the follow up, the current stage. Before, when this started, it was ‘shock and awe’ then ‘learned helplessness’ coupled with isolation and a redirection of collective anxieties. Add to this the fear of death and you got your current cocktail. Continue the flow with ‘conditioning’ and you’re headed to the Brave New World. Or great reset or whatever..
Yes agreed - I didn’t intend to suggest conditioning is the only element- I’ll touch on a lot more in other notes including Soviet subversive techniques that have been in play for decades 🙂
It all ties up in a cult like behavior. The whole covid affair has all the hallmarks of a cult and many people have noticed that. Many of these actions and reactions (masks, hand washing, distancing) have more ritualistic purposes than any practical utility - and the instinctive repelling of any infos that go besides the narrative distinctly shows a mass mind, a herd or hive mindset. While your insight into conditioning is valuable and worth pursuing (please continue) I merely wanted to contribute pointing again to the big picture. The conditioning is necessary to keep the circus going.
This attempt at conditioning has made me resist even stronger as such propaganda is obvious to me. Many like myself are experiencing a slow burning, righteous anger at this evil.
Good to hear! Knowledge and awareness of propaganda techniques is all-important because we do have this massive prefrontal cortex at the front of our head that can deconstruct subversion attempts. BUT if you passively absorb the MSM hypnotic messaging with no idea at all what they are doing - your brain changes (I mean your neural architecture actually aligns with the messaging) and you automatically start thinking, feeling and reacting in accordance with the narrative. This is why it's so difficult to reason with people under mass psychosis - the filters are just so strong.
Oi!

Yes understand- some strength can be gained, however, with the odd laugh, a mocking of inept rulers, etc.

Totally agree Barry!
I am not into pavlova myself.
Very good read,thank you.

Yes the cultish behaviour is incredible https://escapingmasspsychosis.substack.com/p/covidic-cultism and it's changing our neural architecture https://escapingmasspsychosis.substack.com/p/reality-architects

This is really well done! Thank you for writing it! 🙌
