What about the influence of money? If your boss tells you that 2 + 2 = 5, you might go along if not going along causes you to lose your income stream. Is there an experiment that measures how big whores we all are?

Political Correctness is basically a program by the Israel loyalists to channel thought, so that Jewish people are given "endangered species" status ... even when it's the Israel loyalists doing the endangering.

Attempting to shut down the human mind to turn it into one of Ivan Pavlov's dogs. This 'conditioned' reflex is how the human brain is controlled.

This is how certain issues and topics will NEVER be openly and honestly discussed or debated. Certain key words and phrases have been used to literally SHUT DOWN the human mind. Like the drool from Pavlov's dogs, people will shut down their critical thinking skills the moment they hear one of these key words/phrases; in order to 'feel' like they are fitting in with society.

Good video, thanks!

I'd rather know what social conditioning methodology it is that causes the "actor's" in this video to be able to lie their asses off so convincingly?

The actors in on the scam, without so much as a glimmer of guilt are delighted to make a fool out of the victim.

Think about it... Isn't this exactly what TPTB do to us every stinking day?.... Schooling armies of "actors" who are willing to lie to the public at large for some obscure scientific or social advantage?

Power is nothing without control.

That is a brilliant observation............and bears repeating

Minority Rules: Scientists Discover Tipping Point for the Spread of Ideas
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/07/110725190044.htm

ScienceDaily (July 26, 2011) — Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society. The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion. The finding has implications for the study and influence of societal interactions ranging from the spread of innovations to the movement of political ideals.

"When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority," said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. "Once that number grows above 10 percent, the idea spreads like flame."

As an example, the ongoing events in Tunisia and Egypt appear to exhibit a similar process, according to Szymanski. "In those countries, dictators who were in power for decades were suddenly overthrown in just a few weeks."

The findings were published in the July 22, 2011, early online edition of the journal Physical Review E in an article titled "Social consensus through the influence of committed minorities."

An important aspect of the finding is that the percent of committed opinion holders required to shift majority opinion does not change significantly regardless of the type of network in which the opinion holders are working. In other words, the percentage of committed opinion holders required to influence a society remains at approximately 10 percent, regardless of how or where that opinion starts and spreads in the society.

To reach their conclusion, the scientists developed computer models of various types of social networks. One of the networks had each person connect to every other person in the network. The second model included certain individuals who were connected to a large number of people, making them opinion hubs or leaders. The final model gave every person in the model roughly the same number of connections. The initial state of each of the models was a sea of traditional-view holders. Each of these individuals held a view, but were also, importantly, open minded to other views. [This important condition does not reflect the reality.]

Once the networks were built, the scientists then "sprinkled" in some true believers throughout each of the networks. These people were completely set in their views and unflappable in modifying those beliefs. As those true believers began to converse with those who held the traditional belief system, the tides gradually and then very abruptly began to shift.

"In general, people do not like to have an unpopular opinion and are always seeking to try locally to come to consensus. We set up this dynamic in each of our models," said SCNARC Research Associate and corresponding paper author Sameet Sreenivasan. To accomplish this, each of the individuals in the models "talked" to each other about their opinion. If the listener held the same opinions as the speaker, it reinforced the listener's belief. If the opinion was different, the listener considered it and moved on to talk to another person. If that person also held this new belief, the listener then adopted that belief.

"As agents of change start to convince more and more people, the situation begins to change," Sreenivasan said. "People begin to question their own views at first and then completely adopt the new view to spread it even further. If the true believers just influenced their neighbors, that wouldn't change anything within the larger system, as we saw with percentages less than 10."

The research has broad implications for understanding how opinion spreads. "There are clearly situations in which it helps to know how to efficiently spread some opinion or how to suppress a developing opinion," said Associate Professor of Physics and co-author of the paper Gyorgy Korniss. "Some examples might be the need to quickly convince a town to move before a hurricane or spread new information on the prevention of disease in a rural village."

The researchers are now looking for partners within the social sciences and other fields to compare their computational models to historical examples. They are also looking to study how the percentage might change when input into a model where the society is polarized. Instead of simply holding one traditional view, the society would instead hold two opposing viewpoints. An example of this polarization would be Democrat versus Republican.

The research was funded by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) through SCNARC, part of the Network Science Collaborative Technology Alliance (NS-CTA), the Army Research Office (ARO), and the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

The research is part of a much larger body of work taking place under SCNARC at Rensselaer. The center joins researchers from a broad spectrum of fields -- including sociology, physics, computer science, and engineering -- in exploring social cognitive networks. The center studies the fundamentals of network structures and how those structures are altered by technology. The goal of the center is to develop a deeper understanding of networks and a firm scientific basis for the newly arising field of network science.

So, should I pin this to my back?

I think some of this ("tipping point on ideas", posted by keehah)has to do with the 100th monkey phenom

let me find the story, but basically its a form of telepathy that monkeys exhibit, and I think people do so also

There are 400 million People in America give or take.

If just 40 million understood the phenominal oppertunity silver is we could break the financial back of our of Oppressors.

Well......one can always wish
