The Mind is a Terrible thing to Waste

“Don’t cry, don’t raise your eye – It’s only teenage wasteland. So it was… so it is.”

Do you realize how few mega-corporations control all media—print, streaming, film, and music? Some say six… others say two. The last number is closer to the truth when you consider that all the high-ups are in the same private clubs. Do you suppose these organizations—hellbent on control—are simply delivering information and entertainment for our benefit? It’s not hard to demonstrate that we’ve all been programmed by the very systems meant to “inform” and “entertain.”

Finish these lines: “Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? / Caught in a landslide, no… ______.” The majority of people reading this could finish that lyric instantly. What does that tell you?

Open your eyes—and look up to the skies and see.

Have you noticed there haven’t been any real “decades” since around the year 2000? Gone are the distinct cultural signatures of each era. Music, fashion, and language have been flattened. The homogenization of time has arrived. When was the last time you pulled into a parking lot and saw more than five car colors? Even the vehicles look the same—SUVs across brands now mimic each other’s shape, tone, and feel. It wasn’t always this way, and there’s a reason.

Variety is the enemy of control. And in case you haven’t noticed, the digital era is about control. Do you think a handful of corporations gained control of everything by chance—or is it part of a long-standing, premeditated effort to homogenize humanity and strip away natural diversity so the masses are easier to manage?

In Episode 628, we trace the long and disturbing evolution of mind control—from early hypnotic experiments to military black ops, mass media manipulation, and the engineering of modern culture itself. What begins with Mesmer and “animal magnetism” transforms into Pavlov’s conditioned reflexes, Freud’s psychoanalysis, and ultimately the horrors of MKUltra and beyond.

Governments have always justified these tactics through fear. But whether it was the OSS drugging prisoners during WWII, the CIA dosing civilians with LSD, or the psychological unraveling of soldiers at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, the pattern is always the same: human dignity discarded in the pursuit of control. When humiliation becomes policy and torture turns into theater, something has gone terribly wrong. (And if you think those Abu Ghraib images didn’t function as mind control themselves, think again.)

From Edward Bernays to Jonestown, from Orson Welles to the Unification Church, this episode makes the case that what we call culture is often the aftermath of psychological warfare. Trauma, repetition, isolation, and artificial environments have been used not just to influence individuals—but to steer entire civilizations.

Programs like MKUltra didn’t exist in isolation. They grew out of earlier covert operations like Project Artichoke, Operation Mockingbird, and the CIA’s partnership with psychiatrist Donald Ewen Cameron, whose experiments on unwitting patients laid the blueprint for modern behavioral manipulation. These projects weren’t rumors—they are part of the declassified record.

The majority of the online population now function as RC cars—remotely controlled. The introduction of the “nudge” (a term from behavioral economics) is a clear example of how this works. Rolled out as standard practice, machines now prompt you to act—and we know it works, because people follow the prompt. A much older and more insidious example of population mind control is the “feed.” Gone are the days when people searched for content they wanted. Now, a machine lines up the majority of what is viewed. It doesn’t just cause you to surrender your freedom of choice—it replaces it.

The feed acts as your news, your music, your entertainment. But remember: what you see has been preapproved, ranked, and pushed to millions—homogenizing what is consumed and quietly eliminating variety. When all is said and done, the digital world doesn’t expand freedom—it enforces its opposite. It stands in direct contrast to nature, where all truth is found.

What does real mind science look like?
There’s a fork in the road. One path uses the spirit as its foundation.
The other treats you like a system to be hacked.

I would like to wish you all a happy, healthy, and higher-minded new era.
