STRESS AND SOCIAL CONTROL
IO uses demographic targeting, with a mathematical model of decision making called Reflexive Control Theory which combined with the access afforded by insecure anonymous networks is able to exploit known human cognitive biases and to manipulate groups or individuals to dramatic effect, delivering curated information feeds to individuals or groups to promote ever greater fear uncertainty and doubt, aka FUD, and increasing levels of attendant stress.
Precise demographic targeting combined with reflexive control theory and adversary is able to manipulate group or individual information environment so people will voluntarily take actions including self- destructive action to individual and collective detriment.
Conditioned Reflexes and Psychiatry was published in Britain in 1941. Pavlov’s early work, for which had won the Nobel prize in 1903, had focused on digestion but for the last thirty years of his life Pavlov studied “higher nervous system function.” Specifically, the effects of stress on the brain.
Pavlov’s findings showed changes in brain function caused by extreme or abnormal stress activate a protective mechanism he called “transmarginal inhibition.” Pavlov identified three distinct, progressive phases of transmarginal inhibition:
1) The equivalent phase, in which powerful stimuli and weak stimuli produce the same response.
Example: Normal human beings, suffering from intense fatigue, frequently report little difference in their response to trivial or important life experiences. The breaking of a coffee cup or the death of a parent will produce similar reactions.
2) The paradoxical phase. In this condition a large stimulus produces little or no response, while a tiny stimulus produces a strong response.
Example: A affected group or individual might ignore a major catastrophe and respond vigorously to a trivial incident.
3) The ultra paradoxical phase. Here, positive conditioned responses switch to negative ones and negative ones become positive.
Example: A conversion experience dramatically changes individual orientation from skeptical or opposed to enthusiastic advocacy for an ideology previously forcefully rejected.
Summary: Prolonged stresses imposed on individuals or networked populations produce phased, cumulative defensive response in the brain resulting in behavioral changes. Individuals move through progressive phases, they become increasingly vulnerable to mass manipulation, social control systems, induced collective hysteria, and individuals or groups may enthusiastically adopt beliefs to which they were formerly violently opposed.
