A timely if not overdue book.
From the Amazon description . . .
Throughout the world, mental capacity is declining, especially among young people, while depression rates are rising dramatically. Meanwhile, one in forty men and women suffers from Alzheimer's, and the age of onset is falling rapidly. But the causes are not being eliminated, quite the opposite. Can this just be coincidence?
The Indoctrinated Brain introduces a largely unknown, powerful neurobiological mechanism whose externally induced dysfunction underlies these catastrophic developments.
Michael Nehls, medical doctor and internationally renowned molecular geneticist, lays out a shattering chain of circumstantial evidence indicating that behind these numerous negative influences lies a targeted, masterfully executed attack on our individuality. He points out how the raging wars against viruses, about climate change, or over national borders are—more likely intended than not—fundamentally providing the platform for such an offensive against the human brain that is steadily changing our being and is aimed at depriving us of our ability to think for ourselves.
But it is not too late. By exposing these brain-damaging processes and describing countermeasures that anyone can take, Nehls brings light and hope to this fateful chapter in human history. Nothing less will be decided than the question of whether our species can retain its humanity and its creative power or whether it will lose them irretrievably.
I’ve been concerned about our headlong rush towards group-think, conformity, and lack of individuality for a while. This shows up in a number of different ways that is neither good nor sustainable. Excessive admiration or condemnation of political and other leaders, obsessing about misinformation, internet influencers, yielding to AI, mind-numbing drugs, and lack of education that teaches thinking, all lead to fundamental mind atrophy. I haven’t thought about the connection with increase in organic brain disorders, but I’m anxious to read about it.
Looks like an interesting read, I have it on pre-order.
