Please read my previous texts dedicated to the problem
of human consciousness and thinking.
Today, I want to examine the use of technological theories
of conditioned reflexes in modern society, as well as describe
the main neurophysiological aspects of "brainwashing." You may
have heard of it, but you might not have encountered detailed
information on the subject. Once, this topic was secretive and
classified. Today, however, thanks to newly opened archives,
we can fully describe the process of brainwashing by governments,
media, cults, Big Tech, and so on, using a completely scientific
approach.
It should be noted right away that "brainwashing" is not Jungian
or Freudian psychology, nor is it NLP, and so forth. It is not
psychology at all. It is the neurophysiology of our brain, which,
unlike psychology, can be measured with scientific tools.
Overall, if we look at psychology from the perspective of brain
mechanics, it is not a science in the broad sense of the word.
It is more akin to a religion of the technological society, falling
into the realm of theological debates, and therefore absolutely
fruitless and useless for science.
Any psychological model, school, or rules theory today remains
unproven and unfounded, as they cannot be subjected to
physical measurement or experimental laboratory confirmation.
So, what are "technological theories of conditioned reflexes" and
"brainwashing" in general? Technological theories of conditioned
reflexes are a set of scientific methods that describe changes
in the consciousness of individuals through behavior modification,
based on genetic characteristics and vulnerabilities of the
neurophysiology of the human nervous system. Moreover,
behavior modification occurs on principles that are universal
to all higher living organisms, specifically the primitive reflexive
fears of mammals.
What are these fears? For example, the fear for the survival
of offspring, the fear of hunger, the fear of persecution, the fear
of death, hierarchical herd instincts of fear, the fear of necessity,
and so on. As you can see, these theses appear quite simple and
clear, unlike convoluted psychological doctrines.
It is also worth noting that social engineering has always
appealed to the lower instincts of the human brain's limbic
system. This is why the methods of social engineering are referred
to as "technological theories of conditioned reflexes," as they
originate from a scientific-industrial context that arose as
a result of the technological revolution.
Brainwashing, in general, is a sick condition of influence in
which the fundamental biochemical imprints of the nervous
system in memory are artificially altered. Recall the board with
light bulbs from my previous post in Phlog about the nature
of human consciousness, and then you will understand what
is being discussed.
Overall, the consciousness of an adult human being resembles
a scratched record, playing the same melody on repeat. Why?
Because this is the best simplified model of adult memory
reflection, expressed instead of a three-dimensional neurochemical
electrical connection (connexon) in the form of understandable
two-dimensional grooves on plastic.
Before we delve into the mechanics of brainwashing and how
it differs from ordinary hypnosis, we must familiarize ourselves
with the concept of "circuits of the neurotic system," based on
etymological (genetic predisposition of behavior) Darwinism.
In evolutionary biology, there is a term called recapitulation.
This refers to the phenomenon where, during the first nine months
of intrauterine development, the embryo of a human or higher
mammal repeats the entire evolutionary cycle of the species. After
birth, the process of recapitulation continues in the evolutionof
our nervous system and personality. Remember this fact
to understand the entire process!
The twenty-four years of a person's life encompass all four stages
of this evolution: the infant as a vegetative amphibian creature,
the child as a mammal, the teenager as a primate, and finally, the
adult as the mature stage of metamorphosis.
Each stage of the development of the nervous system represents
an embryonic phase of the next, much like a matryoshka doll. Each
doll contains the previous element of our species' evolution. During
the formation of the nervous system, as it matures, biochemical
imprints of events are established in memory. Conditioned sequences
of actions, or what is known as robotic reflexive behavior, define
personality. This can be described as bioroboticism or a trans-like
hallucinatory state of the individual.
The first circuit of the nervous system�of amphibian beings -
activates immediately after a human is born. It is used to approach
beneficial objects and to distance harmful ones. The well-known
phenomenon of chicks imprinting on a large "maternal object" right
after birth is the same instinct that compels an infant to seek the
safe state of its mother's body. This biochemical imprint
establishes the individual's lifelong sense of trust or distrust.
The second circuit of the nervous system, often referred to as the
"ego," is responsible for the emotional formation of personality.
It likely developed when the first vertebrates began to compete
for territory. Like the first circuit, it is activated by DNA at the
moment the individual transitions from crawling to walking. The
complete formation of this circuit is finalized by the age of 3.5
years. It solidifies the style of trust/distrust, self-confidence/
insecurity, submission, resourcefulness, clumsiness, and so on.
Based on this neurochemical imprint, the brain will subsequently
select ideas, territorial claims, form sexual relationships, and
automate primary dominant stimuli, such as aggressive behavior
or submissiveness. Therefore, if a person behaves too emotionally
or selfishly, it indicates that they are blindly following the
conditioned reflexes of the second circuit.
The third circuit is responsible for resourcefulness. It activates
when the older child begins to process informational noise and
either receives or transmits signals. If the environment stimulates
the third circuit, the child adopts a biochemical imprint
of understanding and becomes clever. However, if the environment
consists of inherently foolish individuals, the person takes on an
"empty" imprint, remaining poorly developed until around the age
of five.
The fourth circuit represents the socio-sexual biochemical imprint.
It likely formed when crowds of hominids evolved into individuals
programmed for specific sexual-role behaviors. This circuit activates
during puberty when DNA releases neurochemicals through glands,
transforming the individual into an adult.
It is during this period of life that shocking psychological and
physical traumas can give rise to psychopaths, dictators, sexual
deviations, communists, biorobotic maniacs, serial killers, and
so on. In simple terms, these are people with "stuck" minds-like
three-legged beaten dogs traumatized in such a way that they cannot
enter an adult state of personality. After all, adulthood in thinking
and behavior is defined by the ability to love, give, empathize, and
so forth. The set of these basic imprints of the nervous system,
acquired during a period of genetic changes, forms that stuck
inprint of consciousness in the adult individual that I mentioned
earlier.
Now let's explore how our minds are manipulated. In the ancient
world, the imprinting of the nervous system occurred randomly.
When the nervous system was shocked during periods of genetic
changes, that shock formed corresponding reflexes towards certain
objects. For example, towards snakes, insects, water, and so on.
In other words, there was a fixation on shocking parental objects.
A simple example of this behavior is a baby giraffe that witnessed
its mother being killed by hunters; it became fixated on the
poachers' jeep. When the giraffe grew up, it would attempt to mate
with any vehicle resembling that jeep. The same phenomenon
occurs with the human mind. Fixation on commercial artifacts
that have shocked the nervous system gives rise to entire subcultures
within consumer society. This happens simply because clever
arketers were beside present during the formative years of you
or your children. This phenomenon is referred to in English as
"geek."
Therefore, there is no paradox in the fact that a kidnapper,
teacher, politician, employer, bureaucrat, or cult leader wants
to impose their reality on a subject resistant to it, presenting
it as the only correct biochemical imprint (behavior). The helpless
victim of "brainwashing" instinctively seeks a maternal object
at the level of reflexes and the subconscious. Shocked and
disoriented children in kindergarten or in fascist communist
schools, conscripted soldiers from barracks, people fighting for
survival in a state under oppressive labor conditions, or those
facing severe life challenges, such as prisoners in jails, all
exhibit this behavior. For a person in captivity or a hostage, any
bipedal entity that brings food can become a maternal figure-even
a dog. For a kidnapped this is overseer, for a soldier, an officer;
for an isolated programmer, a project manager; and for fascists
and communists, the figure of the leader.
In all cases, the task of the "brainwashers" is to reduce the
individual to a disoriented first circuit of the human nervous
system, rendering them helpless, essentially reverting them to the
state of a clumsy child. They then guide the individual along the
path of a new second circuit to emerge from this state. However,
the irony is that often the brainwashers themselves are biorobots
incapable of seeing anything around them except for their insane
hallucinatory ideas.
This occurs when an individual begins to believe that they have
no choice (the fear of necessity), thinking that the "brainwashers"
are smarter, know more, as they are wiser, stronger, more correct,
more persuasive, and so on. It has been reported that after
brainwashing, many people experienced the illusion that their growth
had diminished, while the brainwashers always appeared very tall and
strong. Thus, helplessness can be escalated to panic through ordinary
physiological, mental, or psychological terror, and under certain
conditions, even propaganda.
This is where the main drama of industrial consumer society lies.
People are poorly informed about how destructive and harmful
the practices of influencing an individual's personality are today.
A brain that has been washed, even after rehabilitation, will never
be the same as it was before. This is why there are so many
neurotics, obsessives, and so on in our society.
The state, corporations, politicians, and religion distort people's
minds using the aforementioned methods, depriving them of conscious
choice. In life, it is important to avoid automatic reactions
to stimul in order to act with awareness and logic. This is essential
to avoid being under the influence of "commercial flashbacks" from
a consumer society. One must be a master of self-analysis and
self-reporting.
To cultivate ideal submission, "mind controllers" employ what
is known as Newspeak and principles of group dynamics, placing
individuals in situations where their usual verbal signals and
physical skills are inadequate. For example, the "fascist necessity."
Propaganda activates the first survival circuit (threat to offspring,
group), closes the second circuit of needs (safety, recognition -
authority only from the leader), and through a third closure, forces
individuals to memorize their jargon (often some form of political
terminology of hatred).
It is not unusual for a person living among convicts to behave like
a convict, to become a Muslim while living with Muslims, or to
become a Catholic while living with Catholics, and so on. For
companies, cults, and governments that use "technological theories
of conditioned reflexes" in management, it is crucial to maintain
the reality of the rituals of their "elite bubble."
The so-called corporate nonsense (Zoomers, TikTokers, hipsters,
etc.), fascist unity, class-based communist social conflict, and the
illusory "submissive tribal confidence" all contribute to the
division of the world through the materialization of fear and terror
into "here" and "there," "us" and "them," which breeds human
madness. Both fascists and communists are always sincerely
convinced that without their "necessary justified cruelty," the
people or the country simply cannot survive.
Thus, the most basic algorithm of brainwashing looks like this:
isolation (gaslighting), encouragement of helplessness (echo
chambers), psycho-emotional terror (necessity), cult of something
(group dynamics), and division of the world into "us" and "them"
(survival fear).
I have attempted to briefly describe the problem of the damage
to human consciousness by monopolistic hierarchical structures such
as the state, military, religion, Big Tech, and so on. In my future
writings, I will explore other aspects of human reasoning and methods
for achieving conscious action.
