The British government has an official "Behavioural Insights Team" which they brazenly refer to as their Nudge Unit.
The word 'nudge' is a verb, not an adjective. This department doesn't exist to merely observe and describe human behaviour and adjust government policy accordingly, but rather to set government policies first and then manipulate, shape and control public perception and behaviour to make the public amenable to these policies.
The authors of the book 'Nudge', upon which this department's work is based, are both, naturally enough, "early lifers"; you know: Dreidel Spinners, Friday-Night-Dinner-Eaters, Red Sea Pedestrians, People of Currency, Four by Twos,... you get the picture.
As an example, consider the worldwide, hysterical obsession over wearing face nappies (diapers to my American subs) to "safeguard" the public against a virus comparable to the regular seasonal flu in terms of mortality. What's this all about? To understand this, you have to understand the bi-causal relationship between behaviour and belief.
Of course, it's obvious to most that belief determines behaviour. What's less obvious, but will not have escaped the "Nudgers", is that behaviour also determines belief. The Behavioural Insights' Nudge Unit will be well aware of the psychological effects of wearing a mask and the effects this will have on the beliefs of those who consistently conform to the ritual of self-muzzling whenever they leave the house.
I once read about a study into the effects of behaviour on belief. If memory serves, they took three groups of people, had one group nod their heads up and down for a few minutes, had a second group shake their heads from side to side and a third, who were to act as the control group, neither nodding nor shaking their heads, but remaining perfectly still. Then all three groups were asked a series of questions immediately after.
The "head-nodders" registered the most "Yes" answers, the "head-shakers" the most "No" answers, and the control group somewhere in between. In other words, the head-nodders had been coerced into an affirmative and agreeable state of mind through the mere act of nodding their heads up and down for a few minutes.
So you see, here we have an interesting insight into human psychology. Not only do certain beliefs cause certain behaviours. Certain behaviours can also cause certain beliefs. What is it Aristotle once said? "We are what we repeatedly do." Well, it's also true that we believe what we repeatedly act out as well.
You can probably see where I'm going with this. As with the head nodding and the head shaking, the act of repeatedly putting on a mask every time you're around people in public, on public transport or in a shop will help to reinforce the belief that there's something to fear even if you were a "Doubting Thomas" to begin with.
The idea behind Nudge is basically behavioural management, a process downstream of perception management. Nudge is not about improving the world per se, but rather giving people a new perspective on that world. Why solve problems when it's far easier to alter people's perceptions of those problems? It's also what Big Pharma does when they have a useless drug or vaccine to sell. When your drug is next to useless for most people, you engineer a non-existent problem and then advertise your drug as the panacea that will take away that non-existent problem (one of the latest news headlines to greet me on waking today, 14th November 2020, was "EU agrees to buy 300 million doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine").
Similarly, why make government policies suit public demand when you can just as easily allow a small, "enlightened", globalist elite decide on your policies and then use the ideas of (((Thaler))) and (((Sunstein))) - the authors of Nudge - to socially engineer the attitudes and perceptions of the population so that they're amenable, even grateful, for these policies?
Who needs policy engineering when you have people engineering? There's no need to have government policy serve the people when you can just as easily engineer the people to have them serve the government policy.
That's the whole raison d'etre of the Behavioural Insights Team.
