An interesting participant

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joost_A._M._Meerloo

>Meerloo specialized in the area of thought control techniques used by totalitarian regimes.

>One of the best books that cracks the code on what we are living through was written by Dutch psychiatrist Joost A. M. Meerloo about 60 years ago. Mull over the first line of his book’s forward, and you will think he is writing about today: “This book attempts to depict the strange transformation of the free human mind into an automatically responding machine – a transformation which can be brought about by some of the cultural undercurrents in our present-day society as well as by deliberate experiments in the service of a political ideology.”

When it comes to understanding the inner workings of social psychology and political correctness, we seem to be at a loss.

>That’s from “The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing” (1956).

Funny how Meerloo warned of the group's efforts, more or less.

Please post everything you know about the Macy Conferences and any speculations. What was done with the research? Who is continuing this line of research now?

Dropping this here but not sure how useful it is.

>HEXEN 2.0 looks into histories of scientific research behind government programmes of mass control, investigating parallel histories of countercultural and grass roots movements. HEXEN 2.0 charts, within a framework of post-WWII U.S. governmental and military imperatives, the coming together of scientific and social sciences through the development of cybernetics, the history of the internet, the rise of Web 2.0 and increased intelligence gathering, and implications for the future of new systems of societal manipulation towards a control society.

>HEXEN 2.0 specifically investigates the participants of the seminal Macy Conferences (1946-1953), whose primary goal was to set the foundations for a general science of the workings of the human mind. The project simultaneously looks at diverse philosophical, literary and political responses to advances in technology including the claims of Anarcho-Primitivism and Post Leftism, Theodore Kaczynski/The Unabomber, Technogaianism and Transhumanism, and traces precursory ideas such as those of Thoreau, Warren, Heidegger and Adorno in relation to visions of utopic and dystopic futures from science-fiction literature and film.

I read about that, it was just a system for information retrieval back in a day when most of this stuff was done by phone and paper and in that case you had to add the baggage of a undeveloped third world country with a huge bureaucracy

TLDR: they made it to try and fix some of the problems the stupid system of planned economy that most commie countries had, problem is that very system was intrinsically failed since it was created on the principles of ideology rather than real-world economic necessities
