Diane Benscoter habla sobre su unión --y su permanencia durante cinco largos años-- al culto moonista.  Nos expone su perspectiva "desde adentro" sobre los cultos y los movimientos extremistas, y propone una nueva forma de pensar los conflictos más complejos de la actualidad.

Diane Benscoter, ex-moonista:  Cómo piensan los cultos.

Cult beliefs can hijack the brain much like a viral infection, making even the most extreme actions seem rational. One powerful example is Jonestown, where 900 people died in a mass suicide, convinced by a closed belief system. These rigid worldviews thrive when people are vulnerable and create dangerous divisions between 'us and them.' Understanding extremist mentalities as a human, scientific problem lets hope in—change is possible with research and open dialogue.
