this method goes all the way back to the Vatican selling you absolution from sin. just shorter cycles now.
Not only enslavement, also behavioral programming:
"Likes" and "Shares" give massive dopamine hits - hacks right into social recognition circuits of the brain.
Train AI systems to recognize meaning in users social media posts.
Posts with "positive" meaning for the agenda are pushed higher by algorithms running in the background.
Posts with "negative" meaning are pushed down - not as much exposure == fewer Likes and Shares.
Eventually you subconsciously tune your posts for maximum dopamine hit.
Social media is self-tuning mind control through dopamine.
