Brainwashing and human personality (long read) Please read my previous texts dedicated to the problem of human consciousness and thinking. Today, I want to examine the use of technological theories of conditioned reflexes in modern society, as well as describe the main neurophysiological aspects of "brainwashing." You may have heard of it, but you might not have encountered detailed information on the subject. Once, this topic was secretive and classified. Today, however, thanks to newly opened archives, we can fully describe the process of brainwashing by governments, media, cults, Big Tech, and so on, using a completely scientific approach. It should be noted right away that "brainwashing" is not Jungian or Freudian psychology, nor is it NLP, and so forth. It is not psychology at all. It is the neurophysiology of our brain, which, unlike psychology, can be measured with scientific tools. Overall, if we look at psychology from the perspective of brain mechanics, it is not a science in the broad sense of the word. It is more akin to a religion of the technological society, falling into the realm of theological debates, and therefore absolutely fruitless and useless for science. Any psychological model, school, or rules theory today remains unproven and unfounded, as they cannot be subjected to physical measurement or experimental laboratory confirmation. So, what are "technological theories of conditioned reflexes" and "brainwashing" in general? Technological theories of conditioned reflexes are a set of scientific methods that describe changes in the consciousness of individuals through behavior modification, based on genetic characteristics and vulnerabilities of the neurophysiology of the human nervous system. Moreover, behavior modification occurs on principles that are universal to all higher living organisms, specifically the primitive reflexive fears of mammals. What are these fears? For example, the fear for the survival of offspring, the fear of hunger, the fear of persecution, the fear of death, hierarchical herd instincts of fear, the fear of necessity, and so on. As you can see, these theses appear quite simple and clear, unlike convoluted psychological doctrines. It is also worth noting that social engineering has always appealed to the lower instincts of the human brain's limbic system. This is why the methods of social engineering are referred to as "technological theories of conditioned reflexes," as they originate from a scientific-industrial context that arose as a result of the technological revolution. Brainwashing, in general, is a sick condition of influence in which the fundamental biochemical imprints of the nervous system in memory are artificially altered. Recall the board with light bulbs from my previous post in Phlog about the nature of human consciousness, and then you will understand what is being discussed. Overall, the consciousness of an adult human being resembles a scratched record, playing the same melody on repeat. Why? Because this is the best simplified model of adult memory reflection, expressed instead of a three-dimensional neurochemical electrical connection (connexon) in the form of understandable two-dimensional grooves on plastic. Before we delve into the mechanics of brainwashing and how it differs from ordinary hypnosis, we must familiarize ourselves with the concept of "circuits of the neurotic system," based on etymological (genetic predisposition of behavior) Darwinism. In evolutionary biology, there is a term called recapitulation. This refers to the phenomenon where, during the first nine months of intrauterine development, the embryo of a human or higher mammal repeats the entire evolutionary cycle of the species. After birth, the process of recapitulation continues in the evolutionof our nervous system and personality. Remember this fact to understand the entire process! The twenty-four years of a person's life encompass all four stages of this evolution: the infant as a vegetative amphibian creature, the child as a mammal, the teenager as a primate, and finally, the adult as the mature stage of metamorphosis. Each stage of the development of the nervous system represents an embryonic phase of the next, much like a matryoshka doll. Each doll contains the previous element of our species' evolution. During the formation of the nervous system, as it matures, biochemical imprints of events are established in memory. Conditioned sequences of actions, or what is known as robotic reflexive behavior, define personality. This can be described as bioroboticism or a trans-like hallucinatory state of the individual. The first circuit of the nervous system—of amphibian beings - activates immediately after a human is born. It is used to approach beneficial objects and to distance harmful ones. The well-known phenomenon of chicks imprinting on a large "maternal object" right after birth is the same instinct that compels an infant to seek the safe state of its mother's body. This biochemical imprint establishes the individual's lifelong sense of trust or distrust. The second circuit of the nervous system, often referred to as the "ego," is responsible for the emotional formation of personality. It likely developed when the first vertebrates began to compete for territory. Like the first circuit, it is activated by DNA at the moment the individual transitions from crawling to walking. The complete formation of this circuit is finalized by the age of 3.5 years. It solidifies the style of trust/distrust, self-confidence/ insecurity, submission, resourcefulness, clumsiness, and so on. Based on this neurochemical imprint, the brain will subsequently select ideas, territorial claims, form sexual relationships, and automate primary dominant stimuli, such as aggressive behavior or submissiveness. Therefore, if a person behaves too emotionally or selfishly, it indicates that they are blindly following the conditioned reflexes of the second circuit. The third circuit is responsible for resourcefulness. It activates when the older child begins to process informational noise and either receives or transmits signals. If the environment stimulates the third circuit, the child adopts a biochemical imprint of understanding and becomes clever. However, if the environment consists of inherently foolish individuals, the person takes on an "empty" imprint, remaining poorly developed until around the age of five. The fourth circuit represents the socio-sexual biochemical imprint. It likely formed when crowds of hominids evolved into individuals programmed for specific sexual-role behaviors. This circuit activates during puberty when DNA releases neurochemicals through glands, transforming the individual into an adult. It is during this period of life that shocking psychological and physical traumas can give rise to psychopaths, dictators, sexual deviations, communists, biorobotic maniacs, serial killers, and so on. In simple terms, these are people with "stuck" minds-like three-legged beaten dogs traumatized in such a way that they cannot enter an adult state of personality. After all, adulthood in thinking and behavior is defined by the ability to love, give, empathize, and so forth. The set of these basic imprints of the nervous system, acquired during a period of genetic changes, forms that stuck inprint of consciousness in the adult individual that I mentioned earlier. Now let's explore how our minds are manipulated. In the ancient world, the imprinting of the nervous system occurred randomly. When the nervous system was shocked during periods of genetic changes, that shock formed corresponding reflexes towards certain objects. For example, towards snakes, insects, water, and so on. In other words, there was a fixation on shocking parental objects. A simple example of this behavior is a baby giraffe that witnessed its mother being killed by hunters; it became fixated on the poachers' jeep. When the giraffe grew up, it would attempt to mate with any vehicle resembling that jeep. The same phenomenon occurs with the human mind. Fixation on commercial artifacts that have shocked the nervous system gives rise to entire subcultures within consumer society. This happens simply because clever arketers were beside present during the formative years of you or your children. This phenomenon is referred to in English as "geek." Therefore, there is no paradox in the fact that a kidnapper, teacher, politician, employer, bureaucrat, or cult leader wants to impose their reality on a subject resistant to it, presenting it as the only correct biochemical imprint (behavior). The helpless victim of "brainwashing" instinctively seeks a maternal object at the level of reflexes and the subconscious. Shocked and disoriented children in kindergarten or in fascist communist schools, conscripted soldiers from barracks, people fighting for survival in a state under oppressive labor conditions, or those facing severe life challenges, such as prisoners in jails, all exhibit this behavior. For a person in captivity or a hostage, any bipedal entity that brings food can become a maternal figure-even a dog. For a kidnapped this is overseer, for a soldier, an officer; for an isolated programmer, a project manager; and for fascists and communists, the figure of the leader. In all cases, the task of the "brainwashers" is to reduce the individual to a disoriented first circuit of the human nervous system, rendering them helpless, essentially reverting them to the state of a clumsy child. They then guide the individual along the path of a new second circuit to emerge from this state. However, the irony is that often the brainwashers themselves are biorobots incapable of seeing anything around them except for their insane hallucinatory ideas. This occurs when an individual begins to believe that they have no choice (the fear of necessity), thinking that the "brainwashers" are smarter, know more, as they are wiser, stronger, more correct, more persuasive, and so on. It has been reported that after brainwashing, many people experienced the illusion that their growth had diminished, while the brainwashers always appeared very tall and strong. Thus, helplessness can be escalated to panic through ordinary physiological, mental, or psychological terror, and under certain conditions, even propaganda. This is where the main drama of industrial consumer society lies. People are poorly informed about how destructive and harmful the practices of influencing an individual's personality are today. A brain that has been washed, even after rehabilitation, will never be the same as it was before. This is why there are so many neurotics, obsessives, and so on in our society. The state, corporations, politicians, and religion distort people's minds using the aforementioned methods, depriving them of conscious choice. In life, it is important to avoid automatic reactions to stimul in order to act with awareness and logic. This is essential to avoid being under the influence of "commercial flashbacks" from a consumer society. One must be a master of self-analysis and self-reporting. To cultivate ideal submission, "mind controllers" employ what is known as Newspeak and principles of group dynamics, placing individuals in situations where their usual verbal signals and physical skills are inadequate. For example, the "fascist necessity." Propaganda activates the first survival circuit (threat to offspring, group), closes the second circuit of needs (safety, recognition - authority only from the leader), and through a third closure, forces individuals to memorize their jargon (often some form of political terminology of hatred). It is not unusual for a person living among convicts to behave like a convict, to become a Muslim while living with Muslims, or to become a Catholic while living with Catholics, and so on. For companies, cults, and governments that use "technological theories of conditioned reflexes" in management, it is crucial to maintain the reality of the rituals of their "elite bubble." The so-called corporate nonsense (Zoomers, TikTokers, hipsters, etc.), fascist unity, class-based communist social conflict, and the illusory "submissive tribal confidence" all contribute to the division of the world through the materialization of fear and terror into "here" and "there," "us" and "them," which breeds human madness. Both fascists and communists are always sincerely convinced that without their "necessary justified cruelty," the people or the country simply cannot survive. Thus, the most basic algorithm of brainwashing looks like this: isolation (gaslighting), encouragement of helplessness (echo chambers), psycho-emotional terror (necessity), cult of something (group dynamics), and division of the world into "us" and "them" (survival fear). I have attempted to briefly describe the problem of the damage to human consciousness by monopolistic hierarchical structures such as the state, military, religion, Big Tech, and so on. In my future writings, I will explore other aspects of human reasoning and methods for achieving conscious action.
