Bivša Moonijevka Diane Benscoter: Kako sekte razmišljaju

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.
