Belief control II: cults
Today I ran into an article on The Psychology Behind Cults/Religion on Digg.
The article introduces the similar processes in which beliefs of new recruits are being controlled in religions, cults and other belief circles. It neglects to mention however, that it is far from certain that these belief circles are actually consciously manipulating their recruits for the extraction of cash.
Remember: an unconscious lie is spoken as conscious truth – making it far more convincing and dangerous.
