Neuro weapons are targeting the essence of what it is to be human;
interfering with free will & independent thinking.
Brains have become their Taylorist factories; to do with, as “they” will!
"EVERY INDIVIDUAL’S FACULTY OF CRITICAL THINKING IS UNDER ATTACK!
Thanks for the link!

… see this if you are wondering how Neuro can be weaponized … and BTW folks this has been going on for a long time … look into the literature and you’ll be surprised how far back it goes.

… see Hohwy if you are wondering how Neuro can be weaponized (via “trauma”) and the induction of Dissociative Disorders. Ask yourself if you or anyone you know has experienced the following:
Types of Dissociation
- Depersonalization disorder. This can feel out of body or like separating from yourself.
- Derealization disorder. The world seems dreamlike and separate from you. …
- Dissociative amnesia.
- Dissociative identity disorder.
Can you say COVID and Trans movement boys and girls?
The Predictive Mind by Jakob Hohwy (2003) … book blurb
A new theory is taking hold in neuroscience. It is the theory that the brain is essentially a hypothesis-testing mechanism, one that attempts to minimise the error of its predictions about the sensory input it receives from the world. It is an attractive theory because powerful theoretical arguments support it, and yet it is at heart stunningly simple. Jakob Hohwy explains and explores this theory from the perspective of cognitive science and philosophy. The key argument throughout The Predictive Mind is that the mechanism explains the rich, deep, and multifaceted character of our conscious perception. It also gives a unified account of how perception is sculpted by attention, and how it depends on action. The mind is revealed as having a fragile and indirect relation to the world. Though we are deeply in tune with the world we are also strangely distanced from it.
The first part of the book sets out how the theory enables rich, layered perception. The theory’s probabilistic and statistical foundations are explained using examples from empirical research and analogies to different forms of inference. The second part uses the simple mechanism in an explanation of problematic cases of how we manage to represent, and sometimes misrepresent, the world in health as well as in mental illness. The third part looks into the mind, and shows how the theory accounts for attention, conscious unity, introspection, self and the privacy of our mental world.

Thank you for the book recommendation and commentary. I’ve experienced the hoodoo of manipulation at various junctures, but the heat has certainly been turned up in the past few years!

Not really sure what they mean by ‘coming age of neurowarfare’ . If it’s in a discussion or book now you can bet that it has been already waged against you for at least 20 years. More like 50.
Microcosm and Medium by JPF is highly recommended, as well as I would like to read Mind War by Aquino.
As soon as social media became a thing in your pocket ten years ago it was neurowarfare.

Interesting, thinking about how people and then possibly using that for god knows what…
… DARPA’s (and I’m sure some other 3LAs) motto … Leave No Knowledge Unweaponized!

This is also interesting because it’s reminiscent of some of the MKULTRA experiments with weaponizing BZ gas. Incapacitation by depersonalization/dissociation was the intended mechanism.
