David Southern - ⁠https://tinyurl.com/David-Southern-------This episode dives into the hidden connection between emotion and technology. We break down how social platforms learned to measure and manipulate human feeling starting with Facebook’s secret experiments and leading into what may be modern digital mind control. From Project ECHO to Operation PsyNet we expose how algorithms do not just predict behavior they shape it. This is the unseen system that decides what you feel and when you feel it.
