the cult episode | cult psychology, undue influence, & societal conditioning

<p>Hi babblers! Extremely excited to finally be dedicating an episode to something I’m extremely passionate about CULT PSYCHOLOGY! About 8 years ago I started down the rabbit hole of understanding how cults work, mind control, & how truly fallible the human mind is. It unlocked language and ideas about how understanding cult psychology and undue influence can help us understand ourselves, the world, and societal conditioning. It transformed how I think about the gut instinct, and how we’ve been taught to ignore it and instead exist in the cerebral realm. The realm most easily manipulated. I hope you enjoy this week’s episodes it’s years in the making and the foundation of a lot of my personal methodology and ethos.</p><p>LIKE, COMMENT, & SUBSCRIBE!</p><p>xoxo, Ali Ann</p><p></p><p>GO DEEPER/Reference, Resources, & more: <a target="_blank" href="https://babblings.net/the-cult-episode/">https://babblings.net/the-cult-episode/ </a></p><p></p><p><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p><p>0:00 INTRO</p><p>1:55 <a target="_blank" href="http://babblings.net">babblings.net</a> updates</p><p>2:54 nature nonfiction spring reading club</p><p>12:00 Current Events</p><p>15:06 Main Topic Cults</p><p>29:47 My Thesis Statement/Cult Examples</p><p>34:45 Defining Cults</p><p>37:39 Rober Lifton 8 Criteria for Cults</p><p>47:57 intentional indoctrination, control, & manipulation</p><p>52:09 Types of cults</p><p>56:30 how do people join cults?</p><p>01:00:35 BITE Model - undue influence/mind control</p><p>01:16:51 How To Avoid Cults</p><p>01:21:35 TAKE AWAYS</p><p><strong>Links</strong>:</p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/aliannreed/">https://www.instagram.com/aliannreed/</a></p><p>Youtube: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@babblings20">https://www.youtube.com/@babblings20</a></p><p>Podcast Links: <a target="_blank" href="https://babblings.net/category/babblings_pod/">https://babblings.net/category/babblings_pod/</a></p><p>Blog: <a target="_blank" href="https://babblings.net/">https://babblings.net/</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

So You Want To Talk About The Literacy Crisis.....

<p>Hi babblers! If you’re reading this then it is officially spring! Pat on the back to us all for making it through, though we still have a couple weeks till the last frost.</p><p>Through tiktok debates, bad movie adaptation discourse, & popular headlines I’ve noticed a pattern of using the so called, literacy crisis, to diminish people’s opinions or as a vague term to virtue signal and separate yourself as an intellectual. But what even is the literacy crisis? And how easily can we fall into elitist rhetoric instead of investigating the intersectionality and root of a problem? So let’s chat about the literacy crisis!</p><p>Special thanks to my mom, Sarah Hawley, for joining me to have a deep discussion about education, the literacy crisis, and the American school system with her first hand 20+ years experience as an educator.</p><p>REFERENCES & MORE INFO: <a target="_blank" href="https://babblings.net/so-you-want-to-talk-about-the-literacy-crisis/">https://babblings.net/so-you-want-to-talk-about-the-literacy-crisis/</a></p><p></p><p><strong>Time Stamps:</strong></p><p>5:20 Current Events Corner</p><p>6:24 Jon Lemon & Georgia Fort - Journalist Arrested</p><p>10:37 Remembering Wael Tarabishi - ICE targeting people w/ disabilities</p><p>14:21 US/Israel v Iran</p><p>16:49 Main Topic: The So Called Literacy Crisis</p><p>20:17 The Reading Wars & Literacy Politics</p><p>24:04 Literacy Crisis or Critical Thinking Crisis?</p><p>25:16 Let’s Talk To An Expert</p><p><strong>INTERVIEW STARTS:</strong></p><p>26:30 What are the challenges to teaching kids how to read?</p><p>37:35 Understanding Literacy Crisis Data</p><p>49:55 Phonics vs Whole Language</p><p>56:05 The American School System</p><p>1:00:06 The Importance of Reading & Complex Texts</p><p>1:20:14 Reading & Empathy</p><p>1:24:50 AI and Future Crisis</p><p>1:26:46 JUST READ!!</p><p>1:28:23 Outro</p><p></p><p><strong>Links:</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/aliannreed/">https://www.instagram.com/aliannreed/</a></p><p>Youtube: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@babblings20">https://www.youtube.com/@babblings20</a></p><p>Podcast Links: <a target="_blank" href="https://babblings.net/category/babblings_pod/">https://babblings.net/category/babblings_pod/</a></p><p>Blog: <a target="_blank" href="http://babblings.net">babblings.net</a></p><p></p><p>Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/sounds-from-space">https://uppbeat.io/t/soundroll/sounds-from-space</a></p><p>License code: HFCWEOEYJ9AUOI6C</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
