Psychology of Voting Truth: Spotting Lies and Liars
Introduction
The purpose of this site is to provide you with some education and techniques to help you understand the deep issues of human nature that pervade politics and the decisions we make about it. The drive to power, the desire to appear right, and the manipulation of voters all play a fundamental role in any government. This means that we, the voters, need our own tools and protections against these in order to make wise decisiions for our society.
This will be an ongoing project, as the need for defenses against our own politicians is increasing! You can help by posting your own suggested links, thoughts, techniques or suggestions in the comment box at the bottom of this page.
Why People Don't Vote - by David Pollard
Accessing the "personality" of the "corporate person"- Synopsis of the brilliant movie The Corporation
Humans evolved with scary things - things that could eat us, sting us, poison us, destroy us - so we have evolved with fear as a basic emotion that is MEANT to assist us. However, the institutionalization of the "War on Terror" as a supposedly ongoing and possibly never-ending source of fear has changed everything. In terms of evolution, fear was a short-lived emotion that generated necessary adrenaline, to fight or get the hell out of there. Constant fear is not something our systems were constructed to handle, and the result is a steady diet of anxiety, worry, panic, and stress on our bodies that we do not handle well.
In a way this is a blessing. It is time for us to understand, face, and handle our fears in a mature way. "Fight or flight" are not are only options - innovative thinking, stress reduction, and acting, rather than reacting, are paths to better health for our nation and for us as individuals. Below is both documentation of our current situation with respect to fear as a basic human emotion, and in the other column, useful ways to address and dispel fear while choosing wise and courageous and ethical decisions.
