John Hunter PhD continues his fascinating explanation of the processes used in Large Group Awareness Trainings (LGATs). We begin with the ominously named Elaboration Likelihood Model, which explores how likely it is that someone will think before acting. John touches on Daniel Kahneman's System One - quick thinking - and System Two - considered thinking. He talks about the 'philosophically pompous' statements found in LGAT literature and their demand that people put their experience above their reasoning. John is at the leading edge of research into authoritarian cults.John's PhD hereand his ICSA presentationbuy Jon's Tao Te Ching here
