From your article, there seems to be not much of a schism between many neuroscientists and perhaps a few others:
Perhaps not enough research is being put into how social media disinformation and/or feeding audiences the news they want to hear plays a part in brainwashing or rather reinforcing cultish ideas or ideals or fantasies. Couple disinformation with drugs and who knows, does the neuroscientist, Kathleen Taylor, know? I'll have to read her studies, however her book was written in 2004, so a lot has been realized in neuroscience since then, so I'll reserve judgement for now until I learn more. Just scanning her wikipedia page, she hasn't produced much of anything for a very long time now.

Thank goodness we have conspiracy sites where we can challenge any and all ideas that may come off as feeding the sheeple, also we can ask for empirical evidence which always seems to never be offered up.
From Maxmars article: the Chinese used methods to change someone's mind through their heart.
What's that old saying: "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar." or something like that.
I thought the saying was "you catch more bees with petrol than you do honey"?
I was not here.
