    What did MKUltra teach us about ourselves?

    The research that has been done suggests just about everybody can fall for a cult, though you are right that some people are more susceptible than others. It's mostly about targeting people who are in a life situation that makes them vulnerable (loneliness, recent loss, a falling out with family or friends, midlife crisis, etc.).

    Cults come in all form and shapes. Some are just more obvious to you because they’re not made for you.

    Everyone can fall for a cult that’s tailored for them.

    They appeal to your desires with shiny ideas and rituals, and then find an acceptable way for you to reject critical thinking. Then they tell you that people that don’t share the accepted philosophies are worthless or evil and should be avoided, or that talking to them would make you impure. So to preserve your purity and avoid being banned by your peers, you follow the cults rules, you repeat their words and you shut down your ability to think by yourself.

    And without realizing it, you’ve imprisoned yourself in a cell for the mind.

    Brainwashing does not involve the loss of the core of individual liberty. It does not involve the loss of free will. Brainwashing does not directly control or negate a person's free will, but rather it strongly influences the basis from which a person forms their will. After brainwashing, free will itself remains intact, but its basis has changed.

    It is a person's belief system and worldview which largely determine a person's free will. A person's belief system is the basis from which they make their choices and decisions. If you can influence and change a person's beliefs and worldview, then you can change a person's will, and therefore those aspects of their behaviour which are subject to free will.

    In other words, free will is not an absolute, but is somewhat dependent on causes outside of itself.

    Sounds like you and your climate cult.

    So don’t expcet gvorenmnet to proetct you form cltus or mass mnid cnotrol. Gvorenments (and eeispcally the golbalist ultra rcih 1% cntooirllng goeevrnmnts) are more liekly to eoxiplt and tirck you tahn svae you form exploittaion and trckiery.

    Just because one does not approve of the conduct does not make it illegal. These are exactly the kinds of activities protected by the First Amendment. A religious adherent’s engaging in activities that may seem odd or inappropriate to those outside of that belief system cannot be stopped simply because they are distasteful to others. Activities such as brainwashing may seem like they should be illegal, but “brainwashing” is actually a highly subjective term and thus, not widely regulated. If one consents to undergo the activity that might lead to the behavior modification, they have not been victimized anymore than someone who sees a hypnotherapist for help to quit smoking or lose weight has been brainwashed.

    Do you know if there are groups still experimenting with mind control similar to what we've been told about MKUltra?
