It's one of the strangest cognitive phenomena I have ever experienced... Some people were more immune to it than others, thank God. But some people seem very, very susceptible and vulnerable to it.
Ever wondered why some people seemed to lose their critical thinking during the pandemic? In this episode, award-winning journalist Trish Wood sits down with Dr. Michael Nehls, a German neuroscientist, to explore how COVID propaganda and fear have reshaped our brains. Dr. Nehls' upcoming book, 'The Indoctrinated Brain', dives deep into how exposure to relentless propaganda and fear, coupled with the effects of the vaccine’s spike protein, can actually shrink the hippocampus.
This brain change impacts our personalities and cognitive abilities, making us more susceptible to mass influence. Trish and Dr. Nehls discuss the concept of mental immune systems and how they’ve been under siege. They explore why some people are more resistant to propaganda than others, touching on genetic and physical factors. The conversation also delves into the importance of independent thinking for cultural evolution and societal health.
If you’re curious about the psychological effects of the pandemic or concerned about the erosion of critical thinking in society, this episode is a must-listen. Trish's empathetic yet probing interview style brings out the complexities of these issues, making for an engaging and enlightening discussion.
