Societal Control and Its Consequences

This chapter explores the implications of neuroscience on personal autonomy and societal control as discussed by the World Economic Forum. It critiques the erosion of democratic institutions and the rise of authoritarianism, linking these issues to the impact of neoliberalism and unchecked capitalism. Through literary analogies and historical context, the chapter reflects on the troubling connections between contemporary culture, individualism, and the disillusionment with political systems.
