You can view these "inoculation" videos they use here:

If this truly will be effective governments and big corp will ban since they won't be able to manipulate people anymore.

What is more likely is that they will inject something and twist these videos to say "the government is here to protect you and you should trust us."

Once upon a time it was called indoctrination.

Now they will call it inoculation.


6 "Using lots of technical terms to confuse people"

Sadly I think these videos may have inadvertently done that. Otherwise a great idea. Just simplify the language.


Psychological inoculation improves resilience against truth as well.

For instance “group think”. I’m sure you’ve noticed.
