This chapter delves into the paradox of intelligence and susceptibility to hypnosis, highlighting how smart individuals who believe they are immune to hypnotism can actually be easier to hypnotize due to lowered defenses. The discussion includes personal experiences and hypotheses related to the ease of hypnotizing intelligent people, challenging the assumption that intelligence provides a better understanding of the world. It also questions the motives of smart individuals blocking third-party candidates under the guise of 'safe democracy,' while briefly touching on AGI, anti-whiteness sentiments, and the rapid advancements towards Artificial General Intelligence.
