Is mind control real or just science fiction? In this episode of the Wondering Monsters Podcast, we dive into the strange world of hypnosis, brainwashing, propaganda, and modern tech to uncover what’s true and what’s myth.From the Cold War’s MK-Ultra experiments to cult indoctrination, advertising psychology, and even the Frey effect (“voice-to-skull” technology), we explore how influence shapes our choices more than we realize. Along the way, we break down groupthink, mob behavior, and the hidden power of social media algorithms that may already be controlling how we think and act.Join us as we separate fact from folklore, covering philosophy of mind, Stockholm syndrome, cognitive dissonance, conspiracy theories, and the monster-scale fear of losing free will.=================================================================Timestamps:0:00 - Intro0:23 - What is Mind Control?1:06 - Mind, Consciousness, Brain1:50 - Types of mind control4:12 - What we typically think of mind control5:45 - First exposure to mind control6:26 - Story related to mind control - personal experience9:46 - Defining your terms10:41 - Near death experience (NDE) and the mind11:50 - Mind or body control?12:48 - Jedi Mind Trick, Suggestion, Split Personality15:02 - Different between influence and mind control16:35 - Brainwashing18:35 - Influence and Advertising20:24 - Manipulation and Brainwashing21:26 - Story of Patty Hearst23:34 - Free will and the legal system24:29 - Can you be reprogrammed without your consent?26:14 - Entrainment27:21 - Pacing, Leading, and Suggestion in Hypnosis29:22 - Influenced three words at a time30:13 - Influence, acting against your identity31:29 - Group think and Emergence32:32 - Liminal spaces and rules34:22 - Buzzword propagation, Marketing, and PR36:14 - Language implications and mind control38:53 - Language between cultures41:13 - Government projects, dreams, and mind control, MK Ultra, Project Stargate, Remote Viewing43:03 - Can you create a Manchurian Candidate?45:28 - People like me47:02 - Technology, hypnosis, and mind control49:50 - Is there an easier way to do mind control?51:18 - The Yes Set and compliance54:48 - Voice to Skull technology and the Frey Effect58:03 - Influencing people in modern times59:16 - Mind control at scale1:01:39 - Religion and mind control1:02:10 - Identity, influence, and cognitive dissonance, behavior change1:03:18 - Ranking1:11:43 - Next time and outro=================================================================Also Mentioned in This Episode:What are Liminal Spaces and Why Do They Feel So Weird?Unlocking Dream Potential: What's Possible and What's NotPolybius Urban Legend, Mind Control Disguised as a Video Game=================================================================Full Show Notes and Licensing Information.Wondering Monster Links:Official Website: Wondering Monsters Podcast WebsiteYouTube: Wondering Monsters Podcast on YouTubeSpotify: Wondering Monsters Podcast on SpotifyApple Podcasts: Wondering Monsters Podcast on Apple PodcastsMore Podcast Platforms: Wondering Monsters Podcast on Other PlatformsBluesky: Wondering Monsters Podcast on BlueskyInstagram: Wondering Monsters Podcast on Instagram
