When faced with a stressful situation, we often talk to ourselves to help us get through it. This is mind control, a psychological tactic used to influence our behavior and decisions. But there’s more to mind control than that.
One well-known method of mind control is brainwashing, which involves replacing an individual’s beliefs and values with new ones through isolation, repetition, etc. Another is hypnosis, which involves inducing a trance-like state to induce certain behaviors or thoughts.
These methods can be seriously abused to extract information or force people to act against their will, but they can also be used positively. A recent example is the use of mind control in robotics. A professor in the U.S. worked with a medical center to develop a technology that allows people without hands to move their hands precisely with a robotic prosthetic hand.
These examples show how powerful the human mind can be, and it’s important to recognize the different forms and tactics of mind control to ensure that it’s used responsibly to benefit society. Let’s take a look at them together.
