#155 Rebecca Lemov - Brainwashing, Mind Control, & Hyper-Persuasion

from AWONDERJUNKIE · host Ryan Anderson

Harvard professor, author, and speaker who has spent more than two decades investigating brainwashing, technology and media influence, and human behavior. She uses stories, humor, and hand-drawn visual frameworks to make complex ideas easy to grasp — so you can see, in a new way, the hidden patterns shaping our world.   Rebecca Lemov discusses the history and implications of brainwashing, mind control, and the potential dangers of modern technologies like psychedelics and social media. She explores the dark side of government experiments, the power of perception, and the importance of awareness and discernment. She speaks about the history of MKUtra and the shadow side of how mind control can be used to change how people feel about what they think. She speaks about her book “The Instability of Truth”.    Music for episode Renick Turley SedonaFilm | Musician . Cinematographer.
