There are many people who are exploited in their work on a daily basis, the value they bring to the company and society is much greater than they receive in return, in addition, a high percentage is aware of this fact and does not protest. They have very little, but the fear of losing it is enormous, much greater than the confidence in their abilities, so today we are going to talk about a factor that influences the whole equation: mind control.
The same goes for inequality: the poor accept systems and become poorer and poorer, and the rich get richer, not on their own merits; Similarly, in the sexist society in which we live, women have fewer opportunities. In which we live, most citizens are exploited in one way or another, which leads us to the question: why do they accept this?One possible answer is in control of the mind.
- To keep people under control.
- Whether in exchange for a salary.
- Through obligations or by creating standards.
- It is necessary to control the mind.
- Mind control allows people not to question their situation.
- Do their job for a minimum wage and not even criticize.
- I mean.
- They think they’re free when they’re not really free.
- Psychology and mind control play a decisive role here.
Mind control is based on reaching consensus (or the illusion of consensus), allowing everyone to agree on something. Of course, not everyone supports the same idea for a reason. Some people accept it because they can’t find another way out or because they feel they can’t change. There are also those who believe that this is the best possible idea or simply never question it. There may even be psychological internalization. This is the ultimate goal of mind control.
In mind control techniques, there are several types, we will discuss two aspects: psychological and physiological. The psychological aspect implies the internalization of the situation of disadvantage, oppression and discrimination of the existing social order and the affirmation of its traditions, norms and values, that is, its ideology; on the other hand, the physiological aspect involves the technological manipulation of spirits.
The physiological aspect is useful in those where psychological control does not work, when people do not believe in an ideology, physiological aspects are used to ensure that they finally accept it, even if they do not yet believe it. are explained in more detail below.
How can people internalize a condition in which they lose?To respond there are different psychological mechanisms, one is the transformation of boredom and frustration into aggression, this aggression, in turn, is channeled in favor of militarism.
One example is the great support received by U. S. interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan; another mechanism is the passage from non-compliance to consumerism or the strengthening of religious values; both promote submissive personalities who believe in higher authorities and existing social society. and economic order.
“The essence of psychological coercion is that those who act under their influence feel that they act on their own initiative. The mental manipulation victim doesn’t know he’s a victim. The bars of his prison are invisible and he thinks he’s free. Is the fact that you are not free only appearing to others, is your slavery strictly objective?-Aldous Huxley-
Moreover, these factors are reinforced by the fear of freedom, which is cultivated by today’s education, traditions, norms and values. Nor can the media be underestimated; reinforce psychological impact by using certain techniques, such as ‘bombing’. news, which blocks thoughtful criticism. Finally, fear is one of the most effective methods of mind control; combined with ignorance, it can trigger feelings of panic and insecurity, leading to hasty decisions.
With the physiological aspect of mind control, we mean the brain’s responses to electromagnetic and radio waves. Our brain has different electromagnetic frequencies related to different states of consciousness. Thus, we find the waves that correspond to the states of deep and comatose sleep; theta waves that correspond to normal sleep; alpha waves, corresponding to a relaxed awakening state; and beta waves, associated with a fully awake state.
Electronic devices can change these waves, which causes our brain to enter different states, obviously we will not fall into a coma by the waves of a phone, but these waves, combined with the saturation of stimuli provided by the mobile phone, can make us keep a completely awake state even when we want to sleep. Similarly, there are devices that can cause sensory disorientation and are used in mass control.
Combining the two aspects of mind control and others not discussed, people can be controlled by internalizing an ideology. These forms of control are modern slavery. To get out of it, nothing better than critical thinking and a good education.
