Ideas influence people. In particular, extremely well-developed
sets of ideas shape individuals, groups, and societies in
far-reaching ways. This book establishes these "idea systems" as an
academic concept. Through three intense episodes of manipulation
and mayhem connected to idea systems-Europe's witch hunts, the Mao
Zedong-era "revolutions," and the early campaign of the U.S. War on
Terror-this book charts the cognitive and informational matrices
that seize control of people's mentalities and behaviors across
societies. Through these, the author reaches two conclusions. The
first, that we are all vulnerable to the dominating influence of
our own matrices of ideas and to those woven by others in the
social system. The second, that even the most masterful
manipulators of idea programs may lose control of the outcomes of
programmatic manipulation. Amongst this analysis, sixty-plus
central conceptual terminologies are provided for readers to
analyze multiform idea systems that exist across space, time, and
cultural contexts.This is an open access book.
