RE: Can You Trust Your Mind?

in #psychology7 years ago

My brain and I never got along. It always forgets too quickly but holds on to memories of movies and songs for the longest. Now I don't trust it at all. Who knows what kind of lies it might me feeding me...

In all seriousness this is quite unnerving. Psychology is such a powerful tool and is mostly misused.

I DID NOT SEE THE GORILLA!!! I am freaked out about this. this is most likely used as a weapon. I'm sure all wars in history were gained support through such manipulation by creating an enemy that didn't exist.

How did I not see the gorilla???

I agree, this can and has been used for manipulation probably for almost as long as intelligent man walked the Earth. And the sad thing is almost anybody can use it to their advantage, no matter what field their in...

That is scary. How can people protect themselves from such attacks though? Is it possible to defend against an invincible enemy?

Thank you for the upvote. Much appreciated.

I believe that just being aware of them is the biggest step you can take...

That requires a high level of cognitive control to do. With practice anything is possible.

I agree. However I also agree that they have some tricks up their sleeves that we cannot even comprehend! But by practicing awareness we can catch them at most of their games ;)

Lol. We are doomed! I forgot to follow you yesterday. Just fixed that mistake. I will be browsing around your work. You appear to be an interesting writer. Thank you for the responses.
