The Brain, Marketing, Mind Control, and Proselytizing
Here’s a scary story from Newsweek about advertising and the brain.
For example, our brains tend to register frequently heard facts as true, even if they are patently false. As a result, our memories and beliefs are highly malleable and unreliable.
And since proselytizing is really just advertising, it’s no wonder it can be so effective.
I find it scary that the Walk Away from Fundamentalism Forum is so quick to ban anyone that disagrees with their proselytizing. I expect that from Fundies, but not from those that seek the truth. What exactly do you fear about an open forum?
Peace
