Cult recruitment: In order for ‘cults’ to be successful they rely on ‘recruiting’ others. They target ‘vulnerable’ isolated, alone, neglected children or adults. For vulnerable people, #cults are very tempting because the cult provides love-Bombing #stage1
A sense of safety, promises of rewards friends & actual rewards. Who could possibly refuse? They typically use becoming more joyful, happy, obtaining bliss as a #promise Who wouldn’t want that? A new family? #Acceptance? Love? It’s a nice loving supportive environment initially
So let’s talk about where things got up to with your #HealthData, before Rishi Sunak started talking about the need to generate trust in Government with “#integrity” and “#accountability”…

With the news that the Government is rushing through @NHSEngland’s takeover of the statutory safe haven (@NHSDigital) with about the level of planning that went into the 'fiscal event', where exactly *are* things as the former/new Sec State starts work?
I just finished re-reading the #Iliad
Or rather, I read @stephenfry’s highly enjoyable version “Troy”
Here are a couple of points with some relevance to today’s war in #Ukraine
A short 🧵(with some classical art)

Who is to blame for the war, and at what point did it become inevitable?
Was it the Trojan abduction of Helen, the judgement of Paris, the lottery Odysseus organised, Paris’ and Antimachus' undermining of the Greek ultimatum?...

Or was it the challenge Troy presented to Agamemnon’s hegemony as “king of men”....
... or the Greek pursuit of Troy’s spoils?
In the case of Russia vs Ukraine, we also see multiple reasons being debated, some more realistic than others.
(Did someone say 'Mearsheimer'?)

Look, I get it: you want to save lives on the battlefield.

Military leaders on ALL sides suffer an ages-old problem.
They once preferred bows & arrows over guns; then they preferred horse-drawn artillery over tanks; and now they prefer manned aircraft over drones.
"Cyber" to them is a soldier with a laser pointer guiding a JDAM...

Nachdem wir jetzt 2 Jahre weltweit ein maßnahmenunabhängiges auf- und ab der Wellen beobachten konnten, wer hatte im April 20 denn recht?
▪️Diejenigen , die behaupteten, der LD wirkte "magisch" schon vorher?
▪️Diejenigen, die damals schon ein spontanes Abbrechen der 🌊sahen?

Man muss mit uns Maßnahmengegnern nicht übereinstimmen.
Es wäre aber ein Gebot der intellektuellen Redlichkeit, seinen Irrtum einzuräumen und sich bei Vordenkern in dieser Frage wie @SHomburg und anderen zu entschuldigen, die dafür beschimpft wurden.

Die Historiker werden sich fragen, wie die Idee "spontanes Absinken der Viruswelle" derart vehement
bekämpft werden konnte.
Die Daten waren eigentlich seit April 20 eindeutig, spätestens als Schweden den gleichen Weg beschritt wie alle anderen EU-Länder.

For the last 4 months @Niksteffens @ReicherStephen @sarahvivbentley & I have been working on a major review of leadership during #COVID19. It was accepted for publication in Social Issues & Policy Review today and a preprint can be accessed here: psyarxiv.com/bhj49/
1/n
1/n
The review was built around a 5R model of *identity leadership* and abstracted 12 key lessons. Some of these (e.g., Lesson 10) may seem obvious, but they challenge dominant models of leadership and crisis management a range of ways.

1. Focus on achieving power through people not power over them
The paternalistic imposition of power is the antithesis of leadership because it alienates people and casts them as opponents rather than allies. As a result, it dampens enthusiasm and fuels resistance.

1) This pic is the #peopleofpraise prophet named #kevinranaghan and his prophecy is the only one that people in "the community" listen to and act on. That is how the group refers to themselves internally. They used to be really open. This pic is from "New Covenant" magazine
2) I have to describe #peopleofpraise because I can't be quiet while our country gives a lifetime seat on the #supremecourt to a member of a #cult. I know it's a cult because I was raised in it. I didn't have a choice. But #AmyConeyBarrett did.
3) The #peopleofpraise attracted new members from the grad school programs at #notredame and by absorbing other groups of people who believe that they had been "baptised in the spirit" and can now #prayintongues. But that's not real.
It really isn't. As Peter points out in his [Thread] @CDEIUK avoids talking about what UK Gov't is planning to do, and carefully chooses examples that skirt the very real #discrimination issues - Yellow Fever? How about HIV status? And effectively mandatory #biometricID?!
The not-very-subtle "We can't do nothing, #ImmunityCertificates are the only option" framing is redolent of #Whitehall & #WestminsterBubble #groupthink, barely tempered by the admission we don't know enough about #COVID19 #immunity to reasonably consider such things. Meanwhile...
...evidence is emerging that some people don't develop #antibodies, even after having caught the #virus:

Der Sozialpsychologe Irvin Janis (1918-1990) stellte sich die Frage:
🤔 Wie kann es sein, dass kompetente Menschen in Gruppen immer wieder zu realitätsfernen Entscheidungen kommen?
Die Antwort fasste er unter dem Namen #Groupthink (1971, 1982) zusammen.

✅ Die Symptome von #Groupthink, sowie
✅ Vorschläge an @CDU und @spdde, um Vorkehrungen gegen potentielles #Groupthink zu treffen.
