I'm watching ID and they're talking about cult leaders and followers and how they can be connected to the brain. This guy has basically been doing research and he found out how to take something that someone knows to be false, and have them accept it as truth by manipulating the refutation process. He basically said that once we hear something, our brain automatically accepts it as truth. Then it goes through a process where it decides whether or not it's actually true then decides to either accept it as truth or not.
He even tested it by putting this thing on people's head, I forgot what they called it it's 3 am and I'm all over the place but he'd have the computer say something like "the sky is purple" and then send small electromagnetic waves to effect the brain and it would fuck up the process and people would answer it as true. They said the way Charles Manson was able to get people to believe him would be to make a statement, then do something completely off the wall crazy to distract them so their brains wouldn't have time to process what he was saying as false.
It's so crazy how easy it is to just physically manipulate a brain and once you control a person's brain you control them I guess that's why from birth we're conditioned to follow follow follow because if we weren't, the world would be way different.
