I recently added the transcript to this video which you can access here: academyofideas.com/2013/10/what-is-brainwashing/ I am working on an updated series on propaganda/mass-hypnosis/brainwashing which will be available in the near future.

Hey mate. You may be tired of hearing it, but I appreciate your videos. Every single one of them.

This guy has beeeen trying to herd us into consciousness

"What we learn from history is that we never learn from history." ( Hagel?)

You’re basically my go-to channel for maintaining mental stability. Amazing effort, such important messages here. I really appreciate you.

I witnessed a natural sudden change in behavior of a duck. My father used to raise ducks, most never hatched eggs but some would find a spot in the flower bed or under a building and then build a nest and lay eggs. One female in particular was extremely loud and would wander off by herself constantly squawking very loudly. One day I spotted a hawk on top of her attempting to kill her. I ran outside and the hawk flew away. The duck just laid there and looked dead. I picked up the duck and started to lay her back on the nest in the flower bed when she came alive and suddenly flew put of my hands and about 30 ft away to the edge of the creek. Normally ducks will get in the water and float around or sit on the bank. She stood for an hour on the creek bank just staring off into the distance. After that she barely ever made a sound. When she did it was very low and quiet. As I watched her standing there I realized she was contemplating what had just happened so I think there must be some level of self awareness.

The importance of this message cannot be overstated. Especially in these troubled times when people are all to ready, even happy, to exchange freedom for safety. Safety isn’t free, and freedom isn’t safe.

In my opinion, this is a very important channel.

Now I am thinking about how people react when people see someone who is not wearing a mask.

Threats, manipulation of stress & anxiety towards creating artificial neuroses.

When i saw this, I immediately think of 1984, how they torture Winston and get him feel better, then he become a slave to the Party, so that's why the trauma is needed

Exactly what’s going on with this world lockdown bluff

All I can say is, "its 2021 and the dogs have been broken down and conditioned to hate their freedoms through a strenuous bombardment of fear, acceptance of their new way of life of security handed to them."

So relevant today. Thank you for making this so plain.

A perfect ending to a flawless message. Thank you again, Academy of Ideas. Today I am blessed with a guilt free amusement toward the lunacy of humanity.

"Those who don't read the news are uninformed, those who do are misinformed" Mark Twain.

How ironic was it that I was laughing at some of the stuff you're saying because of going through it already and how ridiculous people adhere to these what you say hobgoblins and then halfway through you said the best way to deal with it is to laugh.. you make some good videos man keep them up, there the best

wow, some crucial insights about society and the masses. :)

I like how you researched the topic broadly, appreciate your teams's efforts. The topic is fascinating. Having and building a neutral perspective while connecting the dots is tough. Thank you for creating and sharing pertinent concept in a unique manner! Have a great week ahead.

As usual outstanding work, very insightful.

1984

Great video, really well done and informative.Your channel is excellent!

Oh man that ending!!!!! God everything is starting to make sense

This is very applicable today. June 2 2020

wow, this helps make sense of a lot of things going on in the world. I'm gonna follow this channel

Thanks for this video. The information is very clear and helpful; please keep this going

Please keep these videos coming.. I forward them to those who can intrepret them properly.. in my opinion, this channel has the ability to help guide western culture out of the current dilemmas we face.. thank you for all your efforts

It wasn't Wesleys sermons that brought upon conversion; but the Moving of the Holy Spirit upon their hearts.

This has been especially true in the last 2 years.

Best way not 2 get brainwashed is 2 believe in nothing. Question everything.

You have 2 nervous systems. When you experience trauma you flip into fight or flight, and anything connected with the trauma is stored in this nervous system. To access the memories for healing the person needs to re-enter the same emotional state and be present within the fight or flight system to access the programming and remove it, often by completing physical actions in response to the trauma that were not done at the time. This is a body memory that stores and holds trauma and gives it the number one in importance which over rides the rational brain. The original Rolfing technique is one way to access and release emotional trauma and break up patterns of inhibition.

Im impressed with this short videos, respect.

This is one of the most important channels that exists in this day and age. God bless you and the work you’re doing. Your vision is beautiful. I pray for amplification of your reach,

Excellent, very informative.

In 1984- how Winston first despises the party, then gets captured by the thought police, held captive, tortured into believing that 2+2=5, and by the end of the book he has tears in his eyes saying “I love Big Brother.”

May the unwashed, rise up ask nicely to please have our incrementally diminishing rights returned. That will show them who is boss. Can I hear an Amen?

Learning this is a privilege.

This channel is a treasure trove.

Excellent video! We need sober, detached, rational analysis now more than ever.

Thank heavens for this channel and your astute study of our condition

wow those experiments are cruel.

I love this channel. God damn godsend for me. If no idea how I've been allowing the lunacy get to me so much lately but thank you for your content. Axious. Non-Servium.🏴‍☠️

Dang I learned more from this video than if I was watching it at school.

I thank you for boosting me so far into my Conscious state as of now

Call it with its correct names: torture and severe re-traumatization. Also trauma bonds.

I have read the book and lived through it for 12 years starting in Antarctica with an intense session of two months as late in Apr - May 2016 and mildly continuing thereafter till date. It involves a powerful organisation with bosses having much money and muscle power who have been able to influence people around me including family members and friends outside the organisation's sphere of influence too. there is a lot of mental torture involved and it sure affects your brain and gives intense headaches. When it started way back in Antarctica reading Ayn Rand and objectivism (particularly Anthem and Philosophy : who needs it?) gave me some strength and direction to survive it. I've been somewhat a spiritual person with some roots in Hindu philosophy since childhood and that alone has enabled me survive it till date. I remember everything done to me and people have said and done in these many years that my experiences can serve as a good source of learning for someone interested in studying the subject. It also involves stalking, bullying, 24 hours surveillance and human rights violations. The book " Brainwashing: the science of thought control" had been followed to the letter in the session in Apr- May 2016 by the bosses. the multi-step process propounded by Robert Lifton was proved true.

Thanks for explaining this so well!

Just finished a unit on the Korean War and heading into one on bias in the media so this is just perfect segue - thanks!

really great stuff! keep it up!

That was great! I had no idea Pavlov did those other experiments on his dogs-fascinating. Thank you

This is truly great!

Thanks for the video.. This just strengthened my phylosophy 👍

Who's here in 2020? xD (The answer is all of America)

Wow!!!! When school starts up i will be sharing this pertinent information thank you

Great education, thanks for your videos.

Quality videos! Keep it up!

Pretty much started off with "thirst" from tv & vocalised inside my head, Aug2011.

Your audiocasts are invaluable. Thank you for your professionalism, your in-depth research and your unbridled devotion to your craft of curiosity. We’re amidst the cabals’ reset from a free world into a strict communist authoritarian rule; a feudal cast system. It appears this physical realm also undergoes its own time clock physical changes, and they’re keenly aware of this. I do not think they control the timeline of these occurrences, but they navigate between the different societies that propel between the demolition of a system and the rebirth of the new... perhaps you can make an audio cast of such a thing?

Incredible.

Jesus said that if anyone were to follow him, that they should "count the cost" of doing so. This is the opposite of relying on emotional experiences for conversion.

Excellent video!

Excellent work as always, I'd missed this one. Any insights on how to expedite peoples departure from the mass formation?

These videos are golden for Homeschooling

Love this channel

Courage..logic..humor..u say! Those are things I would live by

I've recently been told that I was brainwashed (accused of being brainwashed might be a better phrasing). And KZfaq then suggests this video... This thing is listening. Anyways, I hope when talking about sensitive topics folks would avoid using this accusation. Remember, if someone you know and love has been brainwashed (or you suspect it) they have likely been through some trauma. Try to be calm, rational and loving with them. Laugh with them. If you accuse them they will likly become defensive - remember they are wounded, and you may be touching something concealing their wound.

coronavirus brainwashing brought me here

surprisngly this helps with the understanding of identity disorders in patients with BPD

The first original movie, "Manchurian Candidate," with Frank Sinatra, still a classic!

I feel brainwashed when I watch self Help stuff because I immediately feel the complete opposite of how I felt before I watched it

8:34 I’m this far in and my mind is blown

Don’t begin to think that all those who believes in religion or some higher deity as “brainwashed” immediately after watching this single video... you must be in your emotional stress... Try to read more before deciding....

The safety of the free world depends not only on courage, moral virtue and logic, but on humor. Humor which produces the well-balanced state in which emotional excess is laughed at as ugly and wasteful. -Will Sargant

I'm watching this so that I don't get brainwashed. IQ: Infinite

The Government have got this down no problem 😂

Informative though I think the world would be a better place if no one ever discovered this stuff.

Build back better We are in this together Trust the science According to experts Safe and effective Pandemic of the unvaccinated

This channel is like the super-ego of The School of life ;D

Excellent !

4:04, 5:36, 9:20, 11:11 "Whoever can be roused by either fear or anger is more easily led to accept the desired pattern of co-operation". (Suggestibility)

I love this

Abusers instinctively know this. See why victims don't leave the abusive relationship is they're brainwashed by the abusers

The pledge of Allegiance....

Goes on in every day life in the least expected areas or environments.....it almost sounds identical to my day job and other "community" environment, wow, uncanny.

Excellent ! a great follow up to this video would be explaining '' the overton window '' ? if people think they have seen it all, they would never beleive the next social acceptance the controllers want humanity to do.

5:20 Hitler said that you only need to boil your idea down to what we would call now a "soundbite" and repeat it over and over to get the people to believe it.

REZNOV!

Nailed it!! ☀️💛 Brisbane

I open my eyes and see the real world, And I begin to laugh ever since. Why is there laughters When this world is on fire ?

Listening to this after drinking will make sure you forget but your algos remember so the trick is to stop it before it’s finished so you can listen to it again when ready, unless u play it on repeat then it’s more like brainwavhsing

We have to learn how to unlearn what has been taughts to us

A very very relevant content for everytime but specially in the Covid World, it's just hits the Bull's Eye.!! Thank you.

I find these videos fascinating and well-researched, but it does make me wonder about the creator's own mindset and goals. For example, as interesting as this one is, I have to wonder if he knew that it (along with his feature on propaganda) is also a form of brain-washing, at least in relation to the topic of Christianity (i.e., John Wesley) to reinforce any existing animus toward that faith. Also, in the case of George Bush, while I can probably find some agreement, the case about the terrorists' goals is simple truth. Still the overall video is well worth viewing, and comparing against current events, in particular: what are the goals of current government and corporate directives, policies, public statements, and unintended, candid statements by their officials or management personnel? How does one differentiate between truth for truth's sake and truth being misused for the purpose of brainwashing one into an opposing belief? It depends on the goal: is it to put people in a self-defense or simple information mode, or is it geared toward generating hatred of an entire race or religion? I hold that in this situation, do some homework about that race, and study the objective and tactics of that religion as expressed in their scripture.

Suddenly I understand why the modern social justice movement rails so hard against anyone cracking jokes. Anyone here remember how hard they went after comedians?

Well this explains why im sane. I treat everything as a joke.

Ah yes the tactics of the covid era

Being in the military does not make one a patriot. People join for medical and education benefits. Others join for access to mortgages or to simply escape a situation. And in worst case, there are those whom are drafted and conscripted.

Not just fear -- fear and confusion. In a state of fear and confusion, people can be induced to follow the suggestions/directives of someone who exudes confidence, no matter how unreasonable that person's suggestions/directives may seem.

Very relevant

Excellent. I just want to go one step further to suggest it is possible to brainwash half of a society to believe one set of ideas, while the other half is being brainwash to believe another set of ideas. It's possible to use neurology to determine which set of ideas people are susceptible to.
