How do educated individuals become vulnerable to manipulation?
How do educated individuals become vulnerable to manipulation?The Media in 4-4-2 - June 05, 2023
Psychologist Yoanna Micoud tackles a delicate subject: the relationship between education and susceptibility to propaganda.
According to her, it is important to distinguish between intelligence and education, because intelligence comes in many forms, including emotional intelligence.
Yoanna Micoud raises the paradox of highly educated and intelligent people who find themselves trapped in these toxic mechanisms. According to her, these people may have acquired a great deal of information and knowledge, but they may have lost touch with their emotional system and their intuition, which are deeper forms of intelligence.

Philosophical and psychological corruption during the Covid crisis
Philosophical and psychological corruption during the Covid crisisAnthropo-Logics - Nov 27, 2022
In the senselessness of what has been happening to us over the past three years, two major problems will indeed have been, on the one hand, the corruption of language and logic, and on the other, the collective lack of concepts and a sufficiently precise vocabulary. to deal with phenomena.
Think, for example, of the indignation of certain politicians at the use by critical minds of the words “dictatorship” or “tyranny” for health…
However, the dictatorship is indeed since ancient Rome this (normally temporary) suspension of the usual rights and freedoms. A state of emergency or exception that bypasses the usual processes of democracy and the rule of law is technically a regime of dictatorship.
And piloting the so-called response to a phenomenon (misrepresented as previous presentations have shown) from a military "Defence Council", protected by a secret that has no valid reason to exist, is indeed of tyranny. Here again in the precise sense of the term, which describes the capture of executive power by a person or a small group, putting the normal institutional functioning in check.
All these realities -already quite problematic-, required the knowledge and expertise of a person like Ariane Bilheran to enlighten us about them.
Normalian, philosopher (with a specialization in political and moral philosophy), Ariane is also a doctor in psychopathology. His research themes in this discipline have covered (among others) the psychopathology of authority and paranoia as well as the phenomena of manipulation and influence, on both a small and large scale.
That is to say, before what happened to us, she had all the keys to reading and understanding necessary to carry out a precise and relevant analysis.
She did so by publishing several series of articles (including Chronicles of Totalitarianism and Psychopathology of Totalitarianism) and various landmark books (including of course Le Débat Interdit, written in tandem with Vincent Pavan) as well as giving numerous interviews and conferences.

“End of Abundance”: Except at the Table of Privileges
“End of Abundance”: Except at the Table of PrivilegesMr Globalization - Sep 10, 2022
In a carefully staged intervention during a council of ministers, Emmanuel Macron launched yet another provocation by evoking the "end of abundance".
If this is essentially to be seen as a communication stunt, the head of state is above all preparing the French for a new austerity cure. Decryption.
The French president first mentioned the end of "liquidity without cost" from which it will be necessary "to draw the consequences in terms of public finances". As expected, the government is therefore resuming its austerity agenda. Once again, “the crisis” will serve as the perfect excuse to implement a neoliberal policy. To try to show that he is not an ideologue, the president recalls his solidarity plan during the Covid-19 crisis, the famous “whatever the cost”. All shame drunk, this plan has been widely used to try to demonstrate the existence of a social fiber in this government. The Minister of the Economy, Bruno Lemaire, has also constantly repeated that France has been the most generous in Europe during this crisis.

Bowing to authority: The true contagion of our time
Bowing to authority: The true contagion of our timeHazy Skies - Feb 7, 2022
There must be a powerful subconscious process at work among much of the population for such a high percentage to do what they are told, despite the fact that what they are told to do lacks all practical justification or logical explanation and is very likely to harm him...

Crowd psychology: the desire to believe rather than to know
Crowd psychology: the desire to believe rather than to knowCounterpoints - Dec 20, 2021
Following analyzes of the techniques of manipulation of the masses in a liberal democracy and then of a historical antecedent of successful manipulation of the crowd, it is possible to determine what is the mainspring of the latter with regard to the current crisis. Not surprisingly, irrationality can pour out unchecked once moral and legal dikes are lifted or broken down.

Why are some people more open-minded than others? Study
Why are some people more open-minded than others? StudyMedia Citizens Diois - Dec 9, 2021
As psychiatrist Norman Doidge shows, intolerance to dissenting opinions is linked to the left hemisphere and our brain. But change is possible! Instead of perceiving complex individuals and relationships, the left hemisphere of our brain tends to maneuver with categories, make abstractions, and isolate things from their context.

Resentment, this prison that we must all leave
Media Diois Citizens - August 28, 2021
Healing resentment, a brilliant and comforting essay which, from Nietzsche to the anti-colonialist psychiatrist Frantz Fanon, via Adorno and his abstract art of sublimation, puts individual responsibility back at the center and proposes, in the face of the suffering that overwhelms everyone, to liberate through creation rather than dwelling on frustration.
Fascism is, one suspects, the political translation of resentment. Carefully, Cynthia Fleury shows how Adorno, a German-Jewish philosopher forced into exile by the rise of Nazism, escaped his objectification – being just the hated Jew fascism wanted him to be – by exploring literary abstraction. and erasing writers. Ditto for Frantz Fanon, cantor of decolonization.

Use of fear to control behavior: confession of scientists
Use of fear to control behavior: confession of scientistsSott: Sign of The Times - May 18, 2021
SPI-B scientists encouraged the UK government to use fear to more easily control the behavior of the population, today some admit that the use of fear was unethical and regret their acts.
SPI-B provides independent, expert behavioral science advice to the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), which in turn advises ministers and civil servants across government. This guidance is intended to anticipate and help people adhere to interventions recommended by medical or epidemiological experts. (Well normally!)
“Fear was necessary to encourage compliance, and decisions were made on how to increase fear. The way we used fear is dystopian. »
