In the words of James Giordano, a biosecurity expert, “The brain is the battlefield of the future.” And, as he tells me, no other world government is as determined to control the mind as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). If recent, credible reports are to be believed, Beijing has made it a primary mission to conquer the cognitive domain—not just at home, but across the world. Society is, after all, nothing but a collection of minds. To control the mind is, in many ways, to control the overarching narrative. According to the aforementioned Mr. Giordano, a professor of neurology and director of the neuroethics program at Georgetown University Medical Center, cognitive warfare has two primary dimensions. *snip* Take social media, for example, which is little more than a collection of symbols (emojis, etc.), content (videos, photos, etc.), constructs (framed problems, solutions, etc.), and "contexts of narrative" (subjective, objective, etc). Pro-China influence campaigns have already infiltrated social media platforms and various news websites, and Mr. Giordano expects this aggression to intensify in nature, especially with a presidential election only 12 months away.
