  Speaker 1: I get aur groovers. Welcome to another installment of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: show Tippany and Cook. David Bryan, Kevin Patrick James Gillespie,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the less talented of the two Gillespies I've had on
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the show today, joins us.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Will say lighter, tiff Hi, tiv.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Hi, harps.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: I'm standing up at my standing desk for the first
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: time in twenty twenty five.
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: How is it? It's good? Huh.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: I'll pa sick of it soon.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: What exactly is the point of a standing desk.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Again, because we weren't built to sit galispo because flexes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: It gives us time.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So us and all those muscles and you old people,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, feel free.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: That's your age. It's a wonder you can even get
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in and out of a chair.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: But that's true us youngsters, Us youngsters, we need to
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: maintain integrity through the hip muscles and lower back.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: And so you can get so you can get into
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: your portion out again. Yeah, because it's so.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Low, saving up for fucking salad.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: So don't start.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Only one of us on this call who's rich and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: were to get this. There's only one of us who's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: sold more than three books and mum bought too, so
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that was fucking tragic.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: How are you gless, bo?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah good, Yeah, I'm sitting. I'm sitting at a desk,
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: by the way, and I never intend to be standing.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I am also sitting at a desk, Tiff. What led
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to the new kind of standing format.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I've been doing a lot of work lately and a
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: lot of sitting, and so I just decided to stand up.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: And it's good if I leave it up, then I'll
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: come in and I won't just sit down as it
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: to have it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I used to think that too when I bought my
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: million dollar two motor electric desk.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And all I do is sit at the fucking thing.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I just tell everyone how good I was, because I'd
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: like sit for four hours, stand four hours, like hour on,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: hour off. All I do is sit now. So I'm
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: with gillespo So I'm full of shit. So don't listen
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: At least you know you could stand if you wanted to.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, Tiff. Here's my question.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Before we talk to the great Man and we tap
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: into that big, massive prefrontal cortex of his and all
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the other bits, can you focus and concentrate as much
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: when you stand is it the same, better or worse?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Because it took me a minute to get used to it.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: No, I think it's the same for me. It's good,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: it's not, no, no different, okay, just a better position.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I don't I find when I sit I end up
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: slouching and wriggling and fidgeting. So just is me a
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: break from that?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well, beautiful, mister Gillespie.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: So we spoke a while ago, and we've spoken like
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: periodically and pieces about the idea of building a cult
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and the different kinds of cults. And you know, I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: think a lot of pyramid marketing is cultish, and you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a cult doesn't have to be religious.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: We know that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But you actually created a kind of a or you
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: wrote like a five step playbook, yes, a kind of
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: a how to guide, which I think is so generous
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of you, like literally a five step plan on building
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: a cult for those would be cult leaders who listen.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: And I know who you are. What was the prompt
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: for this?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Like what, well, talking to you last week last time
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: was the prompt because I said, you know, you really
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: just need to create a cult. And I said, it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: a pretty simple formula. And I didn't really run through
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: what the formula was, so I was a bit of
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: a teaser for you, but I thought, you know, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: actually have never written down what the formula for creating
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: a cult is, so I thought I should do that,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So I wrote that piece.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Is it pretty similar? I mean, you'll tell us.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But the five steps and the principles that work in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: say a religious or spiritual context similar in other contexts
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: or areas.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: It's in everything. Because the cult, what we're calling a cult,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is actually just a hack to the way humans are wired. So,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: and we've talked about this before, which is the key
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: differentiator for humans as a species and why we're able
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to dominate the planet even though we're a terrible predator,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: no teeth, no venom, no scales, nothing, you know, we're
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: basically meat on feet for an alligator or crocodile or
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: a great white shark or even a koala bear. Really, then,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: how we defeat that is that we're the only species
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: that can cooperate with strangers and regularly does so we
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: can work in groups of one hundred or ten thousand,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: a million and be just fine. No other species on
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: the planet can do that. Now, people, whenever I say
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: they'd always say, oh, yeah, but what about ants. Well,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: ants aren't individuals. Ants are an animal with severable moving parts.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: So you know, an ants nest or a bees hive
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: is all one organism. It just has bits that move independently.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: They're not individuals. You don't see bees making individual decisions
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: about what they're going to do today. Oh, I feel
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: like I want to take the day off today, so
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I'll let you guys go out and get the pollen.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: That's not how bees work. They're part of one organism.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And humans, however, unlike every other species, can cooperate with
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: strangers because we have some built in mechanism that allow
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: us to do it. That we've evolved relatively recently, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: a key mechanism is that we do things for the
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: approval of others. So dogs don't care what other dogs
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: think of them, and neither the sharks. Humans care a
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: lot what other humans think of them, and it motivates us,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: so we are motivated to do things that we think
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: other people will like. Now you can imagine that that
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: would be a pretty powerful glue for getting us to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: cooperate in large groups. If we get a large group
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of people together and give them a motivation and some
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: of us start doing it, then the rest of this
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: will start doing it too, because we want to please
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: those that are doing the thing that obviously large numbers
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: of humans want us to do. So that automatic grouping
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: or coalescing, where we always automatically seek the approval of others,
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: works to make us very powerful because we can cooperate
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: in large groups of strangers, and it means we won't intentionally,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: most of the time, hurt each other because that's generally
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: not going to make us popular with other humans. So
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that's not something you can say about any other species.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: They will behave that way with their own family members
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: because of DNA, and we could go to that in
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: great detail, but we won't, but beyond that, they won't.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: And so the difficulty then for other species is that
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: when you get two groups of elephants coming together, if
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: they're not related to each other, they're the enemy, whereas
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: with humans they are potentially a uniting force, which makes
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: them all much more powerful. So that's the advantage. The
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: downside to this is that it can be manipulated by
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: bad actors, and that's what a cult is. A cult
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: is a bad actor who creates a system of belief
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: for a large group of humans that is all about
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: empowering them to achieve their aims by getting people to
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: behave that way. And it's just a hack on that
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: self approval system, and it's a pretty easy thing to do.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: All you've got to do is well, a be charismatic.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: So I guess that rules you an eye out, Craig,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: but you know, TIFF's got a chance. And the definition
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: of charismatic here is someone who people want to follow.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: So if it doesn't necessarily mean good looking, it means
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: someone who people find compelled to listen to.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Yes, so, and I guess attractive, not in the physical sense,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: but that they are attracted to their energy, like you said,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: their charisma, their ideas.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well it can be in the physical sense too,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: you know, and often is. But there's also plenty of
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: examples where the leaders of cults or the things that
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: I'm describing here, and I keep using the word cult,
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: but it describes anything, right, It describes a political party,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: it describes a religion. It does describe what people traditionally
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: call a cult, but any kind of movement where large
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: groups of people are mobilized to a cause by a leader,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: and that leader.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Is by definition, that would make religion's.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Cults of course, yes so, And it makes the MAGA
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: crowd in the United States a cult. It makes anyone
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: who gets that absolutely devoted following where And you can
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: tell when it's a cult because it's impervious to logic.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that in a little bit more detail
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: about how that's achieved. But it's impervious to logic. You
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: can throw facts at it till you blow on the face,
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and the people who are believers in the cult will
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: not change their point of view at all.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Ever, And I guess you could also call sporting fans
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: cult members in that sense that it's very emotional, it's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: very irrational, it's very us versus them. It's like we're
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the best, everyone else is the worst. We're right, they're wrong,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they're shit, We're great. That's cultie.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: It's a weak form of it. Yes, so, there are
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: probably a core group of fans who very definitely behave
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: like a cult. What they often like is a leader though,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: so a leader is a core component of this. There
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: has to be someone who is projecting the core message
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: of the cult, and a sports team is not a leader.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: A sports team is a common interest and yes, there
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: are people who are radically committed to it and will
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: brook no criticism of it at all, but it's still
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: what I would call a weak version of it. But
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: it is using the same mechanism in the human brain,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: which is they're doing things that they think the other
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: people who believe the same things as them will approve of,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: and it will therefore increase their status with those people.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: It's the same, by the way, at an even looser level,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: when someone goes to say, you know, a stand up
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: comedian performance, if the audience is laughing, you're laughing even
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: if it's not funny, because it's part of a group
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: of humans behaving in a way that pleases the other humans.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: So those are all examples of that in action, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: it isn't. None of those things are a cult unless
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: you've got that core ingredient of a leader. So you
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: need a leader. The leader has to be charismatic in
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: some way. There has to be something about that leader
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: that causes people to listen to what they say, because
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: if you don't listen to what the leader says, you
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: can't create a cult. So, because the core in a
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: cult is what comes out of a person's mouth, what
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: are they saying that you are finding as an intrinsically
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: powerful belief to hold so at the core of every cult.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So if we look at, say, for example, the Nazis,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: which your classic cult, you have a leader there not
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: particularly good looking, but very charismatic in you know, tif,
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: I see a smiling she obviously found Hitler quite attractive,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: but there, you know, I think generally not regarded as
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: particularly good looking. But he said some really powerful things,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: and he said things to people who wanted to hear
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: exactly these things. So when he rose to power at
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: the end, well in between the wars, I mean, Germany
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: was being destroyed by dream punishments driven largely by France
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: economic punishments that were destroying the German economy. Life was
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: getting hard and harder in that economy, and they wanted
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: to hear someone who had a solution for them. And
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Hitler didn't just offer a solution which would be dry
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: enough and could be any political party. It came with
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a really nice message. It came with a message that said,
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: you are part of the Aryan race. You, the German people,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the German speaking people, are part of the Aryan race.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: You are superior to all of these other people who
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: are trying to take you down, and all of these
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: other people are your enemies. So he gave them an ideal,
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: which is you are special. The people who follow me,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the people who believe in the things I say, are
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: special people, you know, gifted people, you know, apart from
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: the others, and created a US and them narrative which
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: he then just fed into with the other elements of
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: cult building. But that's a key part of creating a cult.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: So when you create your cult, Craig, let's assuming you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: can be charismatic to have one.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Can you not talk about my cult straight after you
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: talk about God?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Say?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: But but when you create it, you're going to have
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: to have that key message. You're going to have to
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: have the message that the harp Rights are better people, Okay,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: just better people in general. They're they're fitter, they're healthier,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: they're you know, you're going to have to find some
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: characteristics that unite the harp Rights in their belief that
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: they are better than everybody else, okay, And so that
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: you need to create that us and them narrative because
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: that's a key part of this cognitive tool that we
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: have in our brain. There has to be there has
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to be an us who are bound together by a
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: common belief, and there has to be them who are
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the out siders who don't believe these things.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, I've never been less inclined to start a cult.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: But it is I remember you were saying, and we'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: jump straight back into where you're at. But one of
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the things that really resonated with me last time we
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: spoke about this was you said, you know those religions
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: where there's these kind of world ending or world changing
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: events that are coming on a certain day, and these
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: people in these cults believe this, and then the day
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: comes and goes and the event didn't happen. So rather
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: than people going, oh, well, old mates full of shit.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: So clearly he's not connected to God. Clearly he or
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: she doesn't really have any mystical, magical, mythical insight.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: And they don't leave the cult.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Some of them do, but a lot of them, you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: stay and just kind of like reason and logic and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: critical thinking goes out the window because they're so intertwined
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: with this thing that the idea of leaving is scarier
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: than the idea that old mate might be wrong.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: And that's another key element. So that is demanding escalating investment.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: So you have to demand that people commit more and
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: more and more to the cult. So the example you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: talking about there, well, I mean there were quite a
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: few in the eighteen hundreds, but the biggest and most
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: famous one was William Miller. William Miller who was a
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: preacher in the eighteen forties, and he predicted that on
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: October twenty second, eighteen forty four, Christ would return to
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Earth and the gates to Heaven would be open, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: only true believers would be admitted in. And so his
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: cult consisted of the true believers and everybody else. And
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the true believers, yeah, I ended up being about one
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: hundred thousand of them by the time you got to
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: October twenty second. But he demanded escalating commitment. So in
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: order to demonstrate their belief, they had to rid themselves
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: of all worldly possessions because they wouldn't need them because
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: on October twenty second they would be being admitted to heaven.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: So admitted very clinical.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: It's not unlike, it's not unlike I could be fucking
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this up.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I think I've got it right.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: The Jehovah's witnesses who think who believe one hundred and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: forty four thousand will be transcended to heaven on the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: last day, but there's a lot more than one hundred
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and forty four thousand Jehovah's witnesses.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess someone going to miss out.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But that's a problem.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: But he regarded part of his thing was you had
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: to be you had to demonstrate total commitment. So his
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: believers gave away their property, abandon their farms, gave away
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: their world It possessions, and were regarded as being totally
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: insane by almost everybody else. But that actually helped the
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: narrative that proves the US versus them. You know, we
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: are the true believers. Those people who are making fun
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: of us are the evil people who don't understand. So
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: now the fact that we are now passed October twenty second,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: eighteen forty four and still Jesus hasn't turned up might
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: seem like it's a bit of a problem.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: And you're right, Jesus hasn't turned up.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: That's the name of the show, tip and so what
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: we're going to call it Jesus hasn't turned up. With
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the little hands in the air emoji, do you know
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus hasn't turned up emoji the oldest shrug emojill.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: So anyway, October twenty third, eighteen forty four rolls around.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Everything's still the same as it was the day before.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: And that's subsequently became called the Great Disappointment, which to
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: me is a bit of an understatement. So the disappointment occurred,
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and there were some people who that caused to lose faith,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: believe it or not, who left the church and who
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: didn't believe any longer. But there was a fairly large
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: group of people who said, ah, well, we just we
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: must have must have misunderstood the calculations or misunderstood the scriptures,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And in fact it split the place.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: The things split into about three or four main groupings
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: of people who had different explanations for why, but they
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: all believed that it was still right. It was just
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: something had been misinterpreted. The one that Brian in accounting
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: that's right. Well, one of the groups actually survived and
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: now has millions of followers today. So the group that
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: survived we now call the Seventh day Adventist Church, and
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: they were one of the groups of the Miller Rights
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: that came through the disappointment, and their rationalization for why
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: it didn't work was, oh, listen, old mate, Miller. He
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: stuffed up the message because what was actually going to
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: happen was Jesus was going to come to his place
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: in heaven, and all of this was supposed to occur
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: in heaven, and it did occur in heaven from people
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: who had already passed, and and so you stuffed it
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: up thinking that it was going to happen on earth.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: The convenient thing about the in Heaven story is that
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: there was no way to verify whether it had happened
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: or not.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I know it did happen.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you just enjoyed.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: There really just not anywhere that we can verify. But
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: it definitely did.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, you know you don't know my boyfriend. He's
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: from Canada, so the I knew you had a boyfriend.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: So anyway, the reason that that happens from a cognitive perspective,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: from a biochemical perspective is you know what accountants called
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the sunk cost fallacy, which is the more we invest
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: in something, the less easy we find it to pull
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: away from it. So the more invested we are in
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: the message, if we've given away, our home, our car,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: our farm, towards our wife, et cetera, et cetera. Because
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: of this belief escalating investment required of this cult, then
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: even though it didn't happen, it still must be true
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: because I've given up everything, so that the thought process
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: is I've given up everything for this, therefore it must
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: be the truth. And you can see that same process
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: occurring in cults all the time. It makes them impervious
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: to logic.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Well, also when you think about the fact that people
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: have like got this, some of them ten twenty thirty
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: forty year relationship with this ideology, philosophy, theology, fill in,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: fill in your own ology, and their identity is intertwined
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: with that. And if you tell them your identity like
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: that thing that you identify with, that thing that is
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: essentially you, it isn't true. Well that's got to be
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: terrifying for them. So they don't know who they are now.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: So you defy reason and logic and evidence and go.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking as you were talking a
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: little bit, this is not extremely dissimilar to your theory
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: or not your theory. A lot of people's theory and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: evidence and science around seed oils versus mainstream Yes, dietetics.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, say again, it's the same cost fallacy. It's we've
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: invested so much in this, it must be right, yes,
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: and so it becomes impervious to science that proves it isn't,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: because that would mean that you would have to un
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: leave everything you've spent your entire life believing.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think that?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Like? Why are we We're getting philosophical now and we
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: haven't even done step one, which is isolate the subject
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and become the source of validation. This could be the
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: longest Gillespie show ever. By the way, everyone, it is
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a really good article. It is on if you go
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to de Gillespie dot substack dot com you'll find it there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: It's one of the best articles I think you've ever written.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I loved it. But I'm fascinated with this shit. I've
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: got no idea what I was saying. Carry on.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: So yeah, So there's different steps to this. The first
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: one if you're going to go full cold, right, I mean,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: there's different ways to do this. Many of the sort
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: of more modern day cults start from they've got a
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: bit of a leg up because they've got social media
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: to help them. So social media sort of reinforces the
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: mechanisms I've been talking about. There, you no longer have
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: to get in a group of people and convince them
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: personally of something. You can access millions of people simultaneously
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: with a message, and some of them will catch on
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: that message and receive validation from it, and the algorithm
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: will then keep feeding them even more of that message
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: and more validation. So it forces them into an echo
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: chamber where their own mind becomes a prison guard, defending
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: their commitment to the cult and causing them to attack
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: anything that arms the cult. So social media is a
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: massive accelerator for this massive accelerator. But back in the
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: olden days before social media, if you wanted to start
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: a cult, you actually had to isolate the subject. So
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: you had to find someone who was susceptible to your
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: messaging cut them off from any external value because they're
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: open to persuasion by someone else. In the early stages
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: of recruitment, if you're just talking to them one on one,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: then they might find you very charismatic and believe everything
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: you say, and then they know they walk out in
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: the street and someone else says something else to them
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: as well, and they think, oh, hang on, maybe what
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: harp said is a load of bs I better reconsider.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: So to avoid that kind of thing happening, you've got
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: to cut them off from that sort of communication. You've
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: got to make sure that the only messaging they're hearing
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: is your messaging, which so that usually involves, you know,
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: isolating them from their family, isolating them from their friends,
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: other networks. That can't be done instantly, but you start
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: in order to do that, you create very very frequent
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: meetings with them where you're controlling the messaging. As I said,
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: this is a bit old school because you don't need
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: to do that so much now because the algorithm does
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: it for you. So as soon as someone starts to
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: indicate a preference for a message, the algorithm starts isolating
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: them anyway, so that all they see is their echo
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: chamber of the things they think they believe.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's so true. It's yeah.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Obviously, all it comes up on mine is health stuff,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: fitness stuff, motorbike stuff, and stuff that for the most
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: part I align with anyway. So yeah, it's just feeding
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you the stuff that you want to keep looking at.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: That's right. And but once you've got them captured. Then
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the last key ingredient that you've got to, you know,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: the icing on the cake, is you've got to control
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: the narrative. You've got to you've got to make sure
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that the messaging becomes your messaging, so people will still
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: be exposed to media which says something about your leader
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: that isn't pleasant. You know, believe it or not, there
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: are people out there saying really bad things about Trump,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: for example, and yeah, apparently and myself back up off
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: the ground. And if you don't want that to start
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: affecting the movement and start chipping people off the edge,
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: you've got to give a counter narrative that is just
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: as strong, and you've got to put it on maximum blast.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: So you've got to within the cult, you've got to
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: be distributing your own version of everything, your own version
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: of events, your own counter narrative, your own plausible deniability
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: for everything, because people outside the cult will start saying
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: that the bigger the cult becomes, the more nasty people
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: will get about you, its leader and its followers. You know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: it's like the poor Miller rights. You know, people calling
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: them learns because they gave away everything because you know,
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: the world was going to end, you have to have
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: a counter message going within the cult where you are
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: controlling the messaging and the language, so that they've always
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: got something to lean back on when someone from outside
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: says something nasty about their leader or them, they've got
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: an answer to whatever the event is.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, I'm sure I was in a cult when I
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: was younger. But you know what is interesting about just
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: in terms of not so much specifically about religion, but
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: happens to be religious groups like just individual groups, like
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: there's whatever. There is twelve major religions thereabouts and four
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: thousand minor religions there abouts three to four thousand, and
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly everyone who is in any of those religions thinks
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: pretty much that every other religion is wrong. It's, you know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: like it's the only kind of environment where all these
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: cult kind.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Of but that's a critical component. You have to believe
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: that or you're not in a cult.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Well, but isn't it funny how you can suspend intelligence
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: or reason or logic when you go, Okay, I just
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: ended up in this group. Now I'm in this group,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: and there's another four thousand or so groups that don't
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: believe what don't have our ideology, philosophy, theology.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: They're wrong.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course that's the thing.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: But what's the odds that, statistically, I just landed in
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the one group that's got the direct hotline to God.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: That's well, the one true whatever, even statistically, it's.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: The one thing we all believe is that we're always right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: So the thing that every minute that you spend in
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: that cult reinforces your belief that you have made the
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: correct decision and that everybody else has made the wrong decision.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: And every minute that you're in there, the sunk cost
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: fallacy gets stronger and stronger because you've devoted more time
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: now to this than anything else, so you've made the
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: correct decision until you get to the point like the
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Miller rights, where facts collide with with your beliefs and
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: it still can't change things because you have then got
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: the mindset this can't be true because I have invested
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: so much in it.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, I know we're going way beyond the Gillespie quota,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: So charge me tariff on this. I want to quickly
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: go through. Give me like one two minutes on each
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: of these. So the article is called well how to
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: build a cult? Firstly, but then kind of the sub
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: It goes straight down to I love this. The recipe
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: a five step protocol for hijacking the human mind. Step one,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: so I want you to riff on this for a
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: couple of minutes. Step one isolate the subject and become
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: the sole source. We've kind of covered all this a bit,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but at snapshot, become the sole source of validation.
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, so this isn't as necessary these days, but if
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: you're starting small and you need your core group of followers,
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: this is what you need to do. You need to
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: isolate them from people who will say bad things about
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: your beliefs. So and you need to be a source
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: of validation for them so that you are continuously reinforcing
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: for them that they have made the correct decision. And
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: so it's that simple. You just need to be that
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: all encompassing source, and you need to cut them off
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: from their sources of support. Now, as you grow, your
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: cult starts to take on an automatic recruitment capability, because
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: now you can use social media to achieve this same
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: because the algorithms will automatically do this for you. So
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: it'll give them validation, it'll show them only the things
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: they want to see and it will make anything else
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: foreign to them.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Step two, create a system of variable rewards.
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: Ah. Now we haven't talked about this one, but a
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: critical component of this is that the oxytocin reward we
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: get from believing that other people like what we're doing is, say,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: at level one hundred. It's a standard dopamine reward, just
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: like the one we get from having sex or from gambling,
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And we've talked about this a lot,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: but the way our brain is wired is that we
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: prefer uncertainty, and the way that works is it magnifies it,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: in fact, doubles the hit of dopamine we get from
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: a rewarding experience if it's not definitely going to be delivered.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: So if we only get the rewarding thing every now
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and then, then the hit we get from exposure to
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: it is double what it would be if we get
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: it all the time. And colts use this quite powerfully
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: in that they're not always your friend. They're not they're
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: not always telling you you're the greatest person on earth.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: Sometimes they're telling you you're an idiot, or they're randomly
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: punishing you. So one of the most powerful and effective
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: methods that a cult leader can use is to make
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: an example of someone who has betrayed the cult, So
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: to take someone down in front of the other cult members.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: This is a non believer who has made a transgression
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: against the beliefs of the cult. And if you do
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: that every now and then and on a random schedule,
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: and where no one knows for sure whether they might
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: be next, the pleasure they receive from being part of
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: this cult is twice as high as it would otherwise be.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: So while it seems cruel, it's a powerful motivator.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, Like think about in Christianity, while in
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: fundamental Christianity anyway, and most versions of Christianity, most denominations,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: you're taught that you were born a sinner, like you
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: like babies sinners, and the only way that they can
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: like can't behave their way out of it, Like you're
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: just a sinner and you need redemption.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it's treata means keep them keen. You know it's
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: where you get it. Yeah, treata mean keep them keen.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Is if you're a member of a cult and then
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: suddenly you're on the outside, Suddenly you're getting the cold
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: shoulder you're being punished, then the thing you want most
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: in the world is to once again be part of
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: the cult. So it triggers an intense craving for the
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: uniformity and the belonging that the colt gave you.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Step three, establish a fortress of us versus them.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is the thing we're talking about before,
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: the one that Hitler used with great effect, which is,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: you know, you are better than them, you the Aryan people. Yeah,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: you might feel like the world's against you, but you
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: are better. You're fundamentally better people, and that's what unites us.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: You have to have something that you and you can
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: see this playing out in the United States on a
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: broader scale, you know, the immigrants of them and the
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: ass says the people born here. So this is a
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: really common narrative in cults, which is you latch onto
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: a message it's already there. You can't. By the way,
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: this is not something that you can just make up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: It's much much harder if you make it up. You
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: have to find something that your potential cult members do
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: regard as a unifying feature. I mean, this is, at
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: the end of the day, the fundamental basis for racism,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: which is you know, white people are all better than
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: other people, et cetera, et cetera. So that's the the
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: underlying mechanism that is being exploited by this. But you
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: need to find a uniting thing that most of your
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: followers will find, will agree is a common superior factor
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: about them. Now, with the Miller Rights, it was their
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: belief in that event, you know. And but you will
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: find in every single cult there'll be something that unites them,
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: and whether it's spoken or unspoken, it'll be a characteristic
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: that they all regard as they share and the outsiders don't.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, will you kind of cover this one speaking William
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Miller demand escalating investment?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you just got to keep ramping up the ask. Right. Initially,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: it's very very simple. It's, you know, give me some
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: of your time, you know, commit to being helping at
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: this event. And then it turns into asking for money,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: and then it turns into asking for possessions, and then
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: it turns into surrendering all worldly possessions and so on.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: So it's an escalating ask because you want people to
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: get to the point where they have committed so much
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: to it that they cannot walk away from it no
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: matter what happens.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love this. I'm just going to read
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: On the prophest side Day, which was October twenty two,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: eight forty four. The followers gathered on hillsides and in churches,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: dressed in white robes to await their salvation, but the
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: sun rose on October twenty third to a silent, unchanged world.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: This was the ultimate reality landmine. From an outsider, the
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: conclusion was obvious. Miller was a fraud for the follower
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: who had given up everything. However, admitting this was psychologically impossible.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: The pain of acknowledging that their entire investment, their home, reputation,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: life's meaning was for nothing was too great.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: That's so interesting, isn't it.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so so bloody.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Last one, step five, Step five, if you're paying attention
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and taking notes, seize control of the narrative.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So this is the one I'm talking about before,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: where you have to keep the messaging. You can't just
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: start a col and then walk away. This is a
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: full time job. You've got to keep the messaging going.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, and I give the example in the article
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: of nineteen eighty four where they took it to the
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: extreme of controlling the language. Followers can't conceive of something
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: like freedom or rebellion or individuality if the words don't exist.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: So you see this sort of thing happening in North Korea,
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: for example, where there's just some concepts that no longer
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: exist in their language. And that's because they've had such
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: absolute control over what people say and believe that they
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: really don't know of anything else and can't even conceive
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: of it. And that's where you want to get to
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: with your cult that you're making, is you want to
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: get to a point where the only narrative comes from you.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I love this sentence. This five step protocol
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: is a recipe for building a cage inside a human mind.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Well, that's fucking terrifying.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: It works, it works. It's taking advantage of a bug
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: in the way we work. I mean, it's both a
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: feature and a bug. It's the feature that makes us
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: the most powerful animal on the planet, but it's also
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: a bug that can be exploited.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Well, I might have to put my cult plans on
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: hold because I feel a little bit out of alignment
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: at the moment.
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: You feel the one thing I didn't put in there,
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: and this is probably A really important requirement is you
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: have to be a psychopath. So normal humans would find
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: this protocol really really hard to do because it involves
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: really really hurting people, and psychopasts don't care about doing that,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: and psychoasts also don't care what people think of them,
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: so they're all good. If you're not a psychopath, you'll
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: find this really difficult to do.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Wow, thank goodness for that. Well, mate, I think March
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: of Tea is going to have to wait. We're talking
• 39:56

• 40:05
  Speaker 2: I knew you were sitting. That's a terrible idea. That's
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: so hilarious. That's fucking that lasted about twelve minutes.
• 40:17
