Effortless confabulation

  1. Brainstorm 14 jargon words. (Option – use more or less)
  2. Arrange them in alphabetic order.
  3. Select a few and use them in alphabetic order to make a sentence.
  4. Repeat the above process till all the words are used.
  5. Reflect on how easy it was to “make sense”

Here is a worked example:



attention
brainwashing
change
cortex
culture
education
enlightenment
liberation
mindbrain
mindfulness
neuroscience
propaganda
stillness
witness

The good news is that by paying attention to the process of brainwashing the direction of change can be controlled. The structure and function of the cortex can be shaped by one's culture such that the education system leads to enlightenment. Liberation is possible when the mindbrain is exposed to mindfulness. Neuroscience has shown that the impact of cultural propaganda is less when a person embraces stillness and acts as a witness to what is going on in their mindbrain.
