It's a short read, but suddenly the blocks clicked into place for me. I've heard of Skinner and Bernays, probably on Skilluminati Research when it was still up, but this article connects everything into one whole: most of psychology isn't aimed at fixing people, it's aimed at making them conformist little piggies. Does anyone here study psychology or is a professional psychologist? Are tin foil hats the only ways to block these fucks from fucking with our heads?
