Mass Psychosis - How did they manage it?

[shaberon]

Posted by Rizotto (here)
What makes some people resistant or impervious to egregore / mass psychosis? Why so many so easily fall for it?

I have a lot to say about the former, and, as to the second, I can only guess it is a failure to do likewise.

One of the main reasons it is difficult to affect me is because:


I'm a predator.


That's not the only reason, but probably the most powerful. About twenty years ago I had a phase similar to what Meat Suit described. So I know what that is and I passed through it. The more recent problems I have told Petra about have all been in my space, that is, actual physical things, rather than thoughts about everywhere else in the world. So yes of course I know severe emotional and mental disturbances very well and questions about what is sanity.

I don't know if I have the possibly unfair advantage of types of training from a relatively early age. The kind of stuff we at least post about on the forum, the main difference being I was simply raised in a heritage of the American Revolution in such a manner that the related things I post are thoroughly repetitive. I'm just passing along folk wisdom as represented by "farmers who do not like banks".

I take that, and I go completely Bohemian counter-culture so nothing mainstream has ever been any serious part of my existence. Very little contact with it.

All I know is it's about like being a different species of animal.

I'm doing something completely different from most of them, constantly, from the level of breathing on up.

Furthermore, I'm not a pacifist. The sense of this meaning is much like the Russian expression, the conflict is conflict. My Revolutionary background understands his explanations; almost any of the well-known Russian statesmen can speak for me to a large 80% or so extent. I'm comfortable passing the baton; unfortunately it is difficult to do this with any recent American thing. The only things that grab my attention seem to be problems.

Because I am able to tell there is a suggestion coming at me, that is other than the input I prefer to seek, I use terms like Sorcery and Hypnosis. This is why politicians seem to operate as a hive mind.


One of the clearest examples I could make of black magic concerns an adept from the London School of Economics. I like people from India, I've never met an Indian I didn't like, until this guy showed up, but he was really an Anglicized Indian from Africa.

The problem was that I had been able to work my way into a situation that was rather stable where I had influence on others, and I was able to create that type of environment that is psychologically refreshing. Everything was fine for years, and I was able to support myself. But, as per capitalism, the company I worked for wanted to grow, and therefor put in a "general manager", and got this guy out of another company that at one time had threatened us with a lawsuit.

The thing is he killed the supportive environment I had knit with my own hands.

He'd show up and you could feel peoples' throats choke up and their stomach tie in knots and feel clammy.

That's a serious warning sign, on an animal level, you just went into a fight-or-flight mode, but you're just standing there quietly (meekly).

Does this describe two actual powers that are moving around in the universe?


If you listen to either one of us, we're going to do the same thing -- hypnotize you. The difference is in the intent. Because I am doing this, that kind of person has little effect on me psychologically, but, in terms of force, yes, that went against me and in favor of a more capitalistic enterprise for no other reason and so stated. Take from the person, give to the corporation.

In the world, we have two different kinds of, "management styles" I guess you could say?

On one of my first jobs, someone told me that the reason I am telling you what to do, is so we create an environment that is low-stress and accommodating, so that you want to work here. I was then told there was a strong chance I would be unhappy with any other way of doing things. And it worked. But it's not everywhere. Mostly I find people who are incapable of anything other than telling you what to do.


That makes me positive I have something they don't, and vice-versa.

This strong and concise two minute video shared by Helvetic on his thread, all about media manipulation and the manufacturing and reinforcement of strong opinions, is very relevant here.

The video above is very neat

Back in 2006 Alok Chaturvedi and Tony Cerri drafted the following paper: Sentient World Simulation (SWS): A Continuously Running Model of the Real World.

Introduction
Modeling and simulation quickly becomes out of sync with new events, the emergence of new forces, and newly proposed theories. The goal of the Sentient World Simulation (SWS) is to build a synthetic mirror of the real world with automated continuous calibration with respect to current real-world information, such as major events, opinion polls, demographic statistics, economic reports, and shifts in trends. The ability of a synthetic model of the real world to sense, adapt, and react to real events distinguishes SWS from the traditional approach of constructing a simulation to illustrate a phenomena.

Behaviors emerge in the SWS mirror world and are observed much as they are observed in the real world. Basing the synthetic world in theory in a manner that is unbiased to specific outcomes offers a unique environment in which to develop, test, and prove new perspectives. SWS consists of components capable of capturing new events as they occur anywhere in the world, focus on any local area of the synthetic world offers sufficient detail.

In other words, the set of models that make up the synthetic environment encompass the behavior of individuals, organizations, institutions, infrastructures and geographies while simultaneously capturing the trends emerging from the interaction among entities as well as between entities and the environment. The multi-granularity detail provides a means for inserting new models of any temporal and spatial scales, or for incorporating user-supplied data at any level of granularity. Therefore, SWS can be continuously enriched and refined as new information becomes available.

SWS consists of the following components:

• A synthetic environment that supports Effects Based Approach and a comprehensive representation of the real world at all levels of granularity in terms of a Political, Military, Economic, Social, Informational, and Infrastructure (PMESII) framework.
• A scalable means of integrating heterogeneous components across time and space granularities.
• Mechanisms that discover, gather, and incorporate new knowledge into the continuously running synthetic environment.
• A single façade of user interfaces enabling information from all sources (simulation generated data, parameters for models, and data gathered from the real world) to be searched, viewed and modified in an ontology-aware manner.
• Integrated Development Environments (IDE)s for constructing and configuring new models or modifying existing models and then incorporating these changes into the continuously running synthetic world.
• A means to take excursions from any point in time in the synthetic world to focus on select regions of the world, leverage private user data, or to research specific theories by simplifying the types of models to employ in the excursion.

And on page 7:

Near Real Time (SEAS-NRT)
SEAS-NRT consists of human behavior models that are best suited to a short period of time (within hours), such as crowding and rioting, escalation of emotional arousal, and terrorist personnel collaborating in improvised explosive device attacks. Following the fractal approach to representing an environment, the SEAS-NRT models operate on the same entities that SEAS-VIS models operate on. In this way, SEASNRT and SEAS-VIS are coupled together in a Society of Models. Individuals respond to the media and world public opinion models in SEAS-VIS, placing the individual in a dynamic global context, while also enabling the individuals to sense and react to local events in real time.

In short, an early version/prototype of predictive AI that can (and has) been modified and weaponised to influence populations at scale. This has already been used extensively, adopted by entities such as Lockheed, DARPA, NATO, social media platforms, etc.. (see also Simulex).

This may be a 10th pillar that Alex Zeck omitted to mention.

Science admits to possibilities. I compiled a brief of peer-reviewed papers, declassified patents and repeatable science that would go a long way to explain this. Let's look at what would be required:

1) Surveillance

arXiv:2402.00877

Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.00877

This review establishes that long-duration, self-sustaining wearable and implantable sensor networks are feasible through RF, thermal, vibrational, biochemical, and endogenous electrical energy harvesting. Power is now available.


Next we need interface:

Apparatus and method for remotely monitoring and altering brain waves.
U.S. Patent 3,951,134
Link: https://patents.google.com/patent/US3951134A

This patent describes bidirectional electromagnetic interaction with brain activity, including remote signal detection (“read”) and modulation (“write”), establishing an early formal framework for remote neurological interfacing. Yes- it appears they can read and write to the brain.

b. Cestaro, V. (1993).
Implications of Subliminal Classical Conditioning for Defeating Countermeasures in Deception Detection.
DoD Polygraph Institute Research Report

Link: https://polygraph.org/docs/cm_sublim...nditioning.pdf

This study demonstrates that hidden messages or signals, which are below the threshold of conscious awareness, can trigger automatic bodily reactions that a person cannot consciously control. This proves that it is technically possible to influence someone's physical state—like heart rate or sweating—without their knowledge or consent, simply by exposing them to stimuli they are not even aware they have perceived.
