Changing Minds with Owen Fitzpatrick

Nobody thinks they're the one watching propaganda. It's always the other channel. That's naive realism, and it's one of the biggest barriers to meaningful conversation. In this episode of Inner Propaganda, I introduce the Five Types of Truth: past, objective, shared, emotional, and desired. Each one shapes how we think, decide, and relate to others. Each has its own power and its own risks. I also share a practical framework for using this model when you're trying to influence someone else, including a step-by-step example around helping someone move past their fear of artificial intelligence. What you'll discover: –       Why naive realism shuts down real conversation –       The five types of truth, with real-world examples for each –       Why belief is often the admission fee for belonging to a group –       How to communicate more effectively by understanding which truth someone is operating from   Pre-order Inner Propaganda: https://innerpropaganda.com/ Visit: https://owenfitzpatrick.com/

This episode of Inner Propaganda is one I have been waiting to make for a long time. In honor of May the 4th, we are going full Star Wars to answer one of the most important questions in movie history: how did Emperor Palpatine turn the galaxy's greatest hero into a mass murderer? And how did Luke Skywalker manage to turn him back? In this episode, I break down how Palpatine engineered the conversion of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader, and how Luke Skywalker reversed it at the very end. This is not just a Star Wars deep dive. It is a masterclass in how beliefs are built and identities are hijacked. In this episode, you will discover: The real psychology behind Jedi mind tricks The three-part framework behind every major belief change: feels right, fits in, makes sense How fear and anger have been used to manipulate populations throughout history How Luke used belief and connection to bring his father back from the dark side Visit my website: https://owenfitzpatrick.com/ Join my newsletter: https://owenfitzpatrick.com/newsletter/ Order my new book - Inner Propaganda - https://innerpropaganda.com/  

Welcome to the very first episode of Inner Propaganda. In this episode, I open up about the darkest moment of my life, at 14 years old, sitting down to write a goodbye note to my parents, and the one question that stopped me, shifted my beliefs, and ultimately saved my life. That moment became the foundation for everything I've built since. I also explore the fascinating difference between fact and truth, why your brain is the ultimate internal propagandist, and introduce one of the most powerful frameworks I've ever developed: The brain's context window, and how you can deliberately use it to change the stories you sell to yourself. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your brain doesn't show you reality — it sells you a story The study of 500,000 people across 145 countries that reveals when we're most miserable (spoiler: I'm living it) The difference between a fact and a truth, and why it changes everything What Inner Propaganda actually is, and how your own mind uses it against you Two practical tools — uploading into your brain's context window and brain prompting — to start rewriting the beliefs holding you back If you're ready to stop being a victim of your own inner propaganda and start your own Inner Revolution, this episode is your starting point.
