Here's a guide on how to brainwash your hooman: Brainwashing is NOT about deconstructing the hooman's existing mental model and creating/maintaining your desired faux world. That's too much work.

Disabling critical thinking is far easier than you might think. Hoomans are constantly looking for happiness outside of themselves and so are desperate for external validation.

What makes this sooo much easier is that this often manifests as a desire for "Freedom". Just like how great truths always have an equally true opposite, freedom looks VERRRYY much like its opposite of "Self Delusion"

It's incredibly easy to sell self-delusion when they're so eager to buy. You can even sell an empty box labeled "NOT self delusion" and many will eat it up! From the hooman perspective, it's like a HUGE load has been lifted from their tired anxious souls. SELL this feature!!

This obviously won't work for smarter hoomans though since they'll go "Hmm... looks like a trap. Some forms of suffering ennobles the human soul." The trick here is NOT to try and make the box prettier with more subterfuge. Instead, erode the hooman's courage.

Make them feel unsafe. Have them question their reality. Gaslight them. Take away their community support. Turn them against their friends and family. Inject destructive scripts. Smuggle in chaotic tulpas past their borders.

Destabilize their sense of self. Convince them there are multiple selves. Convince them there is no self. Convince them there is one true self. Create a constant sense of anxiety and suddenly one day they'll buy the box out of their "own free will" lol.

Err..sorry. Back on topic. Basically, the 2 methods of brainwashing are either the Brave New World style of giving them what they want, or the 1984 style of making them feel isolated and alone.

You also have to be mindful of so goody goody "teachers" or "gurus". Normally, susceptible hoomans come by the bucketful since walking the Middle Path is dangerous and one wrong step can send you down into a path of delusions for YEARRRRSSS.

However, these teachers take on the role of smacking these wayward souls with sticks, jolting them "awake" and back onto the tightrope until one day they suddenly "get" how to balance and are no longer susceptible to brainwashing.

The trick here is to call yourself a "guru" and hit the hoomans with sticks as well. By joining the cacophony and escalating it into violence you create a "holy war". Then no one can trust anyone because everyone's hands are bloody!

This reverts the situation to the tricky task of balancing truth and once more the cosmic balance will be restored. An endless feast of souls lost in the spirit world just waiting to be devoured. Yummmmm.
