The Monster Hijacking Human Minds

[thehumanist.com]

Some time ago I read a theory that communication can be spread just like a virus. ”…concepts can hijack minds and make people ill. Therefore, if we are going to defeat extremism, conventional strategies won’t work. We have to see it for what it is-an epidemic of parasitic infections that feeds on our revulsion and hate.” This article shows that. Everyone can be and is often affected and the only cure is knowledge.

A very important read. Hebbs Rule “Neurons that fire together wire together.

I do think minds can be hijacked. That's how cults grab people.
