Hi! I'm so glad you found me so that I could find you. Love your article. I have been amassing research (more than I need in open browser tabs that make me look insane) to write an article on the same topic as yours to explain the ANTERIOR CINGULATE CORTEX and cognitive dissonance - the neuroscience, how it is a default setting, and that we can override it if we recognize it. It was my own WTF is wrong with people that made me look to science for understanding.
I grew up in rural Texas then spent more than 20 years living and working on cruise ships in a senior HR position, seeing this kind of group cult thinking led me to unlearn everything I knew over time. Especially dangerous times now with technology readily available.
Connect with @Salwa Emerson , she has experienced this firsthand and writes about it here on Substack.
Went right to her stack and am transfixed. Thank you for pointing me to Salwa.
Thanks for the connection!

Excellent that I found you here in the Substack algorithm. This is an article I wrote a while back, I feel it is quite relevant to what is happening in the USA today. Looking at the how we got here. https://wattsh.substack.com/p/the-hijacked-mind-how-psychological?r=3mnaw2
