SYNTHESIZED VOICE · NOT A QUOTE
We tried to break the coordination between a person's beliefs and their behavior. We failed. You can coerce behavior. You cannot coerce coordination. The self reconstitutes. This is either the most hopeful thing I know or the most dangerous.*
Composite voice, synthesized for Knowware from the public record. Not a real person or a quote. knowware.systems/method
A composite voice, not a real person. Synthesized from the declassified record of the CIA's MKULTRA program (1953–1973), documented in released files and 1970s congressional investigations, which attempted to develop behavioral control through drugs, hypnosis, electroconvulsive therapy, and sensory manipulation. The conclusion it voices is the book's reading of that record: coercive control of coordination may work in the short term but defeats itself, because the coordinated self rebuilds around the trauma.
