| Suspended | hi, lolz! the way I define brainwashing is when a large group of people believe in an idea that is unpopular to the individual. Why to the individual? Because some people don't think the idea is unpopular. Why a large group? Because no one it threatened when the belief is unknown. In a mathematical formula, how do you describe "Brainwashing" as an one person's opinion of an unpopular idea (or belief) that reaches a certain quantity? I'm thinking "reaches" could be velocity?

| Ancora Imparo | Re: I need an equation for brainwashing! Sorry but unless you define a more stringent outline of what you are trying to define by the equation, this should go to the strange claims forum. What do you intend to have summarised by the equation? What would you have it take as input and what do you want as output?

For those of you who don't know Brinnie I'll refer you to this fascinating thread Now to make it easier we've fixed our LaTeX plug in, so we can go rather hog-wild on this topic. So I'll throw out this one: So the solution to maximizing brainwashing is to spend more time here than there and drink more margaritas! Maybe we'll have to work this one a little bit...

A person is brainwashed individual attracts derision based on actions associated with espoused values, times the inflexibility of those beliefs. In general the equation for brainwashing is:

let me refine my variables of brainwashing: 1) when [a person perceives] that [a culture's] [institutional belief] as [wrong], to him the subject is "brainwashed" political example: some americans believe (a person percieves) that afganistan people (culture) are brianwashed to believe that terrorism is justified (institutional belief) and that is wrong. | |

Please, Brinnie - for the love of my dear departed great-grandmother's cousin's dog, would you consider quitting this text-style posting of yours? Or are you surfing Hypo from your mobile? Then please get a cell with a proper QWERTY keyboard. 2="two", not "to". Sorry, it's a "Science Website-thing".
