When your golf career slows down.
My 2012 Side project nears completion. I researched human behaviour and specifically gullibility. Why are we so gullible?
Neuroscience explains our shortcomings (Source: Sapolsky Lectures.) We are easily misled by words from authority figures.
FB is 22 years old.
I just joined to see what it is.
90% Paid influencers, Politicians and Preachers
10% GoPro and wildlife videos.

Lie spotting scorecard.
Try it next time you watch TV.
Is the guest...
1. Political. (Most are.)
2. LARPing. (Repeating scripts.)
3. Using DARVO. (A propaganda method.)
4. Using Non-Falsifiable claims. (Eg. Iraq has WMDs; Iran will nuke us; Putin is a humanitarian; etc.
#Beware
The midterm elections have positively changed the political landscape, but the work of building a better future is just beginning.
What comes next is understanding how authoritarian influence actually works, how disinformation spreads, how psychological warfare shapes what people believe, and how we help people think for themselves again.
That is why I keep coming back to my Influence Continuum and BITE Model of Authoritarian Control®.
People need to be able to distinguish between ethical influence and authoritarian mind control. We need better tools to educate people about disinformation, more training for media, educators, politicians, and ordinary citizens, and better tools for talking to people who have been radicalized without pushing them further away.
We also need to understand the much bigger systems of influence operating around us.
In The Cult of Trump, I put Putin and Russia at the top of what I called the “puppet masters.” Unfortunately, I did not include China, but I now believe it has been deeply involved as well.
And there is another power center not named in the book: what Gil Duran calls The Nerd Reich, involving broligarchs such as Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Larry Ellison and others, as well as the ideologies and the enormous technological power surrounding them.
I recently interviewed Gil about The Nerd Reich on my Substack. I also recently spoke with expat Amanda Rivkin Häsler, and this week I’m featuring Yale social scientist Matthew Facciani and his work on disinformation.
All of these conversations connect to the same bigger question: how do we help people understand influence, recognize manipulation, identify trustworthy information, and recover their freedom of mind?
I’m going much deeper into all of this on my Substack, from disinformation and psychological warfare to tech power, radicalization, Russia, China, and how we protect freedom of mind.

Andrew Penner walks us through an iconic hole at Banff Springs Golf Course in his new article Anatomy of a Golf Hole: Banff's Legendary Start. To read the full article, head to albertagolf.org.
Trump is performing a long con Milgram experiment on us all.
He pardons criminals.
Anybody notice?
I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.

The GOP use of a PsyOp trick called DARVO has been exposed.
Voters cannot believe they were duped.
This shows the power of WORDS being constantly repeated.
Explains why Elon bought Twitter.
Convened a focus group of committed Trump voters to see how they’re coping with Tuesday’s wipeout. Unsurprisingly, their blame is reserved for everyone BUT Trump. thebulwark.com/p/republican-…

Narcissism is an ancient form of #Lying used to attract mates.

Malignant narcissism goes far beyond ordinary narcissism.
Erich Fromm developed the concept while trying to understand Hitler.
When we talk about narcissism, we’re talking about traits like grandiosity, entitlement, being highly transactional, and believing you are uniquely special. One of the most important features is a lack of empathy, an inability to really step into someone else’s shoes and understand what they are experiencing.
But when Fromm looked at Hitler, he recognized something much more severe.
He was looking at traits like believing you are above the law, pathological lying, sadism, paranoia, and an inability to trust.
That is the kind of profile malignant narcissism was being used to describe.
When I was asked to write The Cult of Trump, one thing I knew for sure was that Trump fit the malignant narcissistic profile I had seen in destructive cult leaders.
In Chapter Three, I compared him with Sun Myung Moon, L. Ron Hubbard, and Jim Jones, drawing direct behavioral parallels.
And because Trump has been on such a public stage for so many years, people have been given a very visible example of what malignant narcissism can look like.

The Legion Commits Up to $250,000 to Support Those Affected by the CFB Wainwright Tragedy
A statement from Dominion President Sharon McKeown on the Legion's commitment to providing immediate and long-term assistance to the injured and their families.
"I am pleased to share that The Royal Canadian Legion is providing significant financial support to assist the victims and families affected by the recent tragedy at CFB Wainwright in Alberta. Our approach will help with both immediate and longer-term requirements. This is directly in keeping with our pledge to support Veterans and their families in times of need, through the Poppy Trust Fund.
The Legion’s Alberta-NWT Command will continue to offer its tremendous on-the-ground assistance to families which began in the immediate aftermath. They will provide for things like travel, accommodations, and food; as long as required. Thanks to the support of your Branches, the Command indicates their Poppy funds are sufficient to handle the current requests.
After conversations with the Canadian Armed Force’s Royal Chaplain Service (RCCChS), which is in direct and ongoing contact with affected families across the country; we understand that immediate needs are being met. The Legion’s financial support at a national level will therefore cover emerging requirements including mental health and caregiver support. Our Dominion Executive Council has approved an amount up to $250,000 to be released in stages. An immediate $100,000 will be disbursed to the Together We Stand Foundation, a not-for-profit entity. This foundation works with the RCCChS to ensure that 100% of what is provided will go directly to support those impacted. Subsequent disbursements of $50,000 will be made if and as needed.
Some members of the CAF sustained severe injuries, and as of this week, over two dozen remained in hospital. It is anticipated that longer term treatment and assistance for the injured and their families will be required. I am confident our strong approach will help ensure that all families receive what they need now and in the future. We will continue to monitor this situation with our military and others and adjust our course as we learn more.
Our thoughts remain with the injured, those who died, their comrades and their families.
We Will Remember Them."
