About this listen

Based on Chapter 5

Episode Description: NATO has declared a new domain of conflict: The Human Mind. In this episode, we define "Cognitive Warfare"—the hacking of the individual to shut down critical thinking. We discuss AlphaGo’s "Move 37" as a metaphor for AI strategy, explain the collapse of the OODA Loop, and introduce the concept of "Reality Apathy." Why do we stop caring when we are overwhelmed with noise? And how does AI exploit our biological "negativity bias" to keep us angry?

Keywords: cognitive warfare, nato, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, psychology, ooda loop, future of war, technology, mental health
