Some of the best mind-hacking tech on the planet was invented before electricity.

No code. No bots. No blue check.

Just ancient mental engineering — sharp enough to survive empires, con men, and mass hysteria.

Devsena Mishra knows it well. She’s been inside national security and the hidden rooms where influence campaigns are wired together. She’s seen how billions get nudged, poked, and spun into fighting someone else’s war — without ever knowing it.

One of her favorite countermeasures? Sahaj intelligence.

A kind of steady, unshakable clarity that makes you damn near impossible to program.

In this episode:

• Outrage as a global currency.
  
  

• Why “calm” might be the most dangerous thing you can be.
  
  

• How regular people become propaganda delivery systems.
  
  

• Moves to make your brain slippery to manipulation.
