Chapter 1: The Vampire Analogy

Imagine a scenario where vampires are lurking just outside your door, appearing as ordinary individuals. Why should you be concerned? The truth is, once you invite them in, they gain the power to harm you. But how can you identify these so-called vampires? The unfortunate reality is that your instinctual human responses might lead you to unknowingly welcome them inside. If you think I've lost my mind, let me clarify.

Your subconscious mind is a powerful entity, operating behind the scenes to regulate your primal functions. It handles a staggering 95% of your actions far more quickly than your prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for conscious thought.

Section 1.1: The Role of the Subconscious

To illustrate this, try a simple experiment. Stand at a right angle to a friend and force an angry expression while they face forward. Notice how quickly they become aware of your presence. This reaction stems from the back of their brain, which instinctively senses fear. Your subconscious is adept at detecting emotional cues, like an angry face, much faster than your conscious mind can process them.

Subsection 1.1.1: Understanding Saccades

Your vision is not as straightforward as it seems. When you hold out your hand in a thumbs-up gesture, only the area under your nail is in clear focus. The rest of your visual field is a blur, thanks to rapid eye movements known as saccades. These quick shifts allow you to refocus on various objects, essential for navigating your environment effectively.

Chapter 2: The Consequences of Manipulation

In the context of modern society, governments have learned to exploit these primal instincts for control. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, compliance was encouraged through fear tactics, with individuals responding more to emotional stimuli than rational thought.

The Australian government's messaging during this time pressured men to take the mRNA vaccine by appealing to traditional notions of masculinity.

If I were to induce fear in you, your instinctive reaction would likely be avoidance. This primal response has been instrumental in human survival, yet it makes us susceptible to manipulation by those in power.

Returning to the vampire analogy, once you've allowed negative influences into your life, it’s challenging to expel them. The fear of being ostracized from society often overrides the need to confront these harmful behaviors.

Nudging, a technique used by various governments, taps into these subconscious behaviors to influence public compliance, often disregarding personal safety in the pursuit of profit.
