Mind control, also known as brainwashing, is the intentional manipulation of a person’s thoughts, beliefs, and behavior through psychological or coercive methods. This involves influencing a person’s psyche and decision-making process, often with the goal of altering or controlling one’s perception of reality. Mind control techniques include mind manipulation, isolation, sleep deprivation, sensory deprivation, and the use of propaganda and indoctrination. The goal is to weaken the individual’s critical thinking skills, autonomy, and free will, making them more vulnerable to the influence and control of others. Mind control has been studied in a variety of contexts, including cults, abusive relationships, and certain interrogation and indoctrination practices.
