Great article. Any chance you could provide a link or accurate title to "[a study]" you mention? -> “Neuroscience research shows that when an expert speaks, parts of your brain actually shut down: [a study] found that people will actually stop thinking for themselves when a person they perceive as an expert offers them advice or direction.”
I've been looking for a more "scientific" explanation all through COVID as to why people's brains shut down whenever I told them the entire thing was a charade - propaganda - mind-virus. No amount of facts, truths, or proofs would budge 99% of the people I encountered. It was quite clear to me that it was all because I wasn't perceived as an "expert".
Would love to see this neuroscience study in full if you could please share when you have the chance.
It was a 2009 study by Emory University School of Medicine scientists led by Gregory Berns, M.D., a professor of neuroeconomics and psychiatry at Emory.
Found it. Or at least a good summary. Appreciate you following up. Will use this to help bolster my observations which boil down to "blind trust in authority" being at the root of so many of our societal issues. Here's the link JIC somebody else is curious:
