Here the programming instructs to instruct others what they should think and how they should reply. Infinite recursion!
The "conspiracy thinking" is also a funny program. I mean, you wouldn't want the sujets actively investigating how they are being had.
- Demiurge 2y agoYou flip the argument around, suggesting that calling something “conspiracy thinking” is itself a kind of brainwashing or programming, which is a common rhetorical move in conspiratorial circles. It’s the kind of reasoning that’s impossible to argue with because it’s built to absorb any counterargument as further evidence of its correctness. It’s like playing chess with someone who insists that any piece you take was actually yours all along and that losing is just proof you never understood the real game.

- totallynothoney 2y agoThat gotcha also applies to you. So all communication about communication is "programming"? And before you say technically yes, "programming" with the same sinister connotation you are giving it. > I mean, you wouldn't want the sujets actively investigating how they are being had. You are so cool Morpheus.
