Cultocracy note :
Always remember , the real war is being waged against you .
I have added the images below myself .
Cognitive Warfare
“This is Allied Command Transformation (ACT) sponsored study but the views and opinions expressed in this publication strictly reflect the discussions held on the Innovation Hub forums. They do not reflect those of ACT or its member Nations, so none of them can be quoted as an official statement belonging to them.”
“Cognitive warfare has universal reach, from the individual to states and multinational organisations. “
“It feeds on the techniques of disinformation and propaganda aimed at psychologically exhausting the receptors of information. “
“The instruments of information warfare, along with the addition of “neuro-weapons” adds to future technological perspectives, suggesting that the cognitive field will be one of tomorrow’s battlefields.”
“This perspective is further strengthened in by the rapid advances of NBICs (Nanotechnology, Biotechnology, Information Technology and Cognitive Sciences) and the understanding of the brain.”
“Succinctly, Information Warfare aims at controlling the flow of information.”
“Cognitive Warfare degrades the capacity to know , produce or thwart knowledge. Cognitive sciences cover all the sciences that concern knowledge and its processes (psychology, linguMilitary and Intelligence Use of NeuroS/Tistics, neurobiology, logic and more). “
“Any user of modern information technologies is a potential target.”
Hacking the individual
“Social engineering always starts with a deep dive into the human environment of the target. The goal is to understand the psychology of the targeted people. “
“This phase is more important than any other as it allows not only the precise targeting of the right people but also to anticipate reactions, and to develop empathy.”
“Cognitive warfare pursues the objective of undermining trust (public trust in electoral processes, trust in institutions, allies politicians…). , therefore the individual becomes the weapon, while the goal is not to attack what individuals think but rather the way they think . “
“It has the potential to unravel the entire social contract that underpins societies. “
“In many ways, cognitive warfare can be compared to propaganda….”
“The purpose of propaganda is not to “program” minds, but to influence attitudes and behaviours by getting people to adopt the right attitude, which may consist of doing certain things or, often, stopping doing them.”
“The exploitation of human cognition has become a massive industry. And it is expected that emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools will soon provide propagandists radically enhanced capabilities to manipulate human minds and change human behaviour .”
Behavioural economy
“Capitalism is undergoing a radical mutation. What many describe as the ‘data economy’ is in fact better understood as a ‘behavioural economics’”.
“The target is the human being in the broadest sense….”
Cyberpsychology
“Assuming that technology affects everyone, studying and understanding human behaviour in relation to technology is vital as the line between cyberspace and the real world is becoming blurry.”
“Cyberpsychology is at the crossroads of two main fields: psychology and cybernetics.”
“Understanding the brain is a key challenge for the future…”
“Over the past two decades, cognitive science and neuroscience have taken a new step in the analysis and understanding of the human brain, and have opened up new perspectives in terms of brain research, if not indeed of a hybridisation, then of human and artificial intelligence.”
The militarisation of brain science
“Scientists around the world are asking the question of how to free humanity from the limitations of the body. “
“The line between healing and augmentation becomes blurred. “
“In addition, the logical progression of research is to achieve a perfect human being through new technological standards.”
“The revolution in NBIC (Nanotechnology, biotechnology, information technology, and cognitive science) including advances in genomics, has the potential for dual-use technology development. “
“A wide range of military applications such as improving the performance of soldiers, developing new weapons such as directed energy weapons are already discussed.”
“Some NATO Nations have already acknowledged that neuroscientific techniques and technologies have high potential for operational use in a variety of security, defense and intelligence enterprises….”
Military and Intelligence Use of NeuroS/T
“Although a number of nations have pursued, and are currently pursuing neuroscientific research and development for military purposes, perhaps the most proactive efforts in this regard have been conducted by the United States Department of Defense; with most notable and rapidly maturing research and development conducted by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA).”

That depends…..
