The Psychological Trait That Makes
Humans So Easily Brainwashed

The ease to which a person becomes brainwashed is not a matter of intelligence. A sociopath or psychopath can manipulate a university professor just as easily as a blue-collar laborer. Recognizing a lie over the truth is more a matter of genetic wisdom.

In fact, the human mind seems to prefer brainwashing from lies over accepting truth by a wide margin. People like a “sales-type presentation” which they readily accept from profit-motivated sales people. People are this way worldwide, but especially in all English-speaking countries. Most people literally open their mind more easily to unsubstantiated, far-out stories from an energetic and controlling liar, but will tense-up, turn-off and virtually flee from sound, truthful information presented as fact.

People are brainwashed because of their psychological arrogance. Some people are so arrogant, self-centered and proud that whatever they are told to believe is automatically assumed to be correct. They make no effort to dig out the truth. These people literally brainwash themselves.

One Major Example of Arrogant Brainwashing.

Arrogance and brainwashing occurred at NASA, causing the unnecessary loss of life. The Space Managers launched the Space Shuttle Challenger in below freezing weather, even though the Engineers informed them of the weather limitation, specifically that the rocket motor seals would leak.

Scientific tests by the Engineers had already proven the temperature limitation that were specified. The test data was ignored, the Managers gave the OK to launch, and shortly after take-off, the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all seven astronauts.

During the extensive briefings following the disaster, the Space Managers tried to blame it on the Engineers.
