New Board Suggestion - Cults, Mind Control & Memetics

Ive been working on this idea for a while now, but unfortunately I kept forgetting about it, however, I did manage to keep opening my notepad and adding bits to it as time went by. I wrote it in a 'brain storming' fashion and thought I would pad it out with prose at some point in the future. But I had a look again today, after the last time I looked which was about a week ago, and thought, just post the blummin' thing! So I am

So, without further ado, my brainstorm ideas for a new board!


New Board Suggestion - Cults, Mind Control & Memetics

Anything of the mind that isnt paranormal or a medical conspiracy.

-Cults-
New cults and old, yes includes religions too but MUST be of 'The Mind', aspects of religions or ideologies that are intended to act as thought guidlines and/or manipulation

-Ideas-
Conspiracy theories (in general not specific), hollywood genres, media outlook, paragrim shifts, [books & films ], hoaxes/myths, implantation of previously unknown information states; re-emergence or instigation of other, perhaps older thought processes

-Mind Control-
Old and new, evidence, 'show & tell', multiple information states, forced state changes

-Mind minipulation-
Subliminal messeges, consumer exploitations, cell towers, viral marketing, 'e-mail gossip', known and new psychological tatics, technology
(corporate use of information state warfare [ISW],)
(use of images/symbols/concepts to 'move' unrelated entities based on subconscious reasoning)

-Social control-
TV, fashion industry, corporate research, money, caste systems, music, newspapers, capitalist approach to ISW

-Dogma -
(A code of beliefs accepted as authoritative)
Education, corporate work place, banking, police & army, communities (science, religion and medical have their own boards to discuss their dogmas so I left them out), enforcement/re-enforcement of information state.

To help make this clear I have added some examples why we would benifit from this new board. Ive bolded out the name of the relevant boards that certain topics would probably go in.

Schizophrenia - Paranormal = Spirtual contact, unknown forces
Schizophrenia - Medical Conspiracy = medication, virusus, treatment,
Schizophrenia - Cults, Mind Control & Memetics = known forces, triggers, social control

Deja vu - Paranormal = ESP, dreaming of the future
Deja vu - Medical Conspiracies = anti-psychotic treatment, epilepsy, disorder
Deja vu - Cults, Mind Control & Memetics = re-creation in labotory, external manipultaion

Money - Political Conspiracies = fruad, corruption, poverty
Money - Education & Media = student loans, corporate funding
Money - Cults, Mind Control & Memetics = social control, debt, greed, banking system




Ok, so what do you all think?


Edit to add: I have put this suggestion out before on This ATS Thread but I didnt really go into the idea like I have here. Please put comments on this thread though, not the older one, thanks!

I'm sure we'll have to look things over more and discuss it before making any changes, but I certainly applaud the work and thought that went into this post.


In fact, I did applaud you.

You did! Twice

Thanks for that, I did put a bit of thought into it, despite the spelling error I can see now

An interesting suggestion and nicely put together post, however as with all new forum requests (they're all the rage these days ) I'm going to redirect you to the appropriate thread for such suggestions:

ATS, BTS, What would you like to see in the future?

Please feel free to continue discussion of your idea there.
