“What I got interested in, in social media and how I connect it with the episodes of brainwashing—it creates states of emotional contagion that aren’t really about convincing people of a different way to think,” she explained.
She continued, “But more about how you feel about what you think.”

That emotional shift, she said, mirrors the exact tactics used in cults.

“It’s not that it changed my thoughts,” she said. “It’s how I felt about those thoughts.”

“When positive expressions were reduced, people produced fewer positive posts and more negative posts; when negative expressions were reduced, the opposite pattern occurred,” the paper said.

It was undeniable proof: emotions are contagious—and social media could be weaponized to manipulate mood at scale.

Interesting Rogan guest. Expect that much of how you feel about various topics may be astroturfed.

Seems plausible.

It's certain. Govs have those thing on-call in case of terrorist attack. Coordinated influence and manipulation strategies to control the reaction of the population. All that, to prevent a reasonable response from the population.

The issue is that the internet replaced TV as the primary source of news and entertainment for many, which is a loss of control, as TV was always a one way medium. They are trying to get everyone back on the reservation by shrinking the internet to a few major sites, which can be controlled as in the example given in the above post.

The free exchange of information is dangerous to the control grid, but the genie is already out of the box, and can't be put back in, so now it needs to be controlled and censored.

AI will be the next step on this path, further segmenting people and controlling access to information. Lord help us when AGI is released to the public and given rights.

I got feeling online discourse is going to change into real-life meetups with new de-centralized platforms like Urbit acting as ways to coordinate with each other.

Been going on for decades. Interesting that DARPA had a similar program called Lifelog which got shutdown around a similar time facebook came out.

Amazing that people still believe that these major platforms came from some genius kids garage.

This is 100% true, they utilize unethical programming which gets the user addicted to dopamine hits. At first it was benign, recall the “poke” option, then it was “likes”. Some people are especially vulnerable as in those with low critical thinking and women in general. Forcing the user to live “vicariously” through a friend is the ultimate in demoralizing and ensures the user then does crazier actions to receive more “likes”.

This cycle continues until they are either a tranny or a purple haired lesbian wack job.
