By definition, progressives are open to new ideas and as a result, can be easily manipulated. Conservatives, however, are more likely resistant to change and value tradition.
In terms of who the sheep are, it is clear that it is the left. There is no need for this contraption the Chinese have developed which is described below. In the U.S., all you have to do is see a person’s political affiliation to know if they will be susceptible to the “next thing.”
Chinese researchers have reportedly developed an artificial intelligence system that is able to judge how receptive people are to “thought and political education.”
The system was described in a report that was published online on July 1 and deleted shortly afterwards. However, details were collected by Didi Tang, a Beijing-based reporter for The Times newspaper.
The system was reportedly designed by Hefei Comprehensive National Science Centre and involved at least two methods of collecting people’s thought data: facial recognition and brain wave scans.
In a study, 43 members of China’s ruling Communist Party (CCP) were told to participate in party lessons while they were monitored, according to The Times report. A video apparently showed how one such volunteer sits at a kiosk while scrolling through articles about party policies and achievements.
It was not described exactly how the system would collect brain scans or facial recognition data, though surveillance cameras were presumably involved in the latter. It’s also not clear how the system would be used more widely outside of a controlled environment.
If I were in China and the commies hooked my into this system, they’d take one look at the numbers and take me out and shoot me.
Hmmm. What I thinking right now commie bastards?
How about you joe Biden? A journey into my mind would not be pleasant for you.
Such devices can be defeated by continuously performing Kegel exercises.
Uncle Al – if our ruling class overlords get their way, you won’t have to live in China for that to happen. Coming soon to your neighborhood – total digital surveillance and control.
Just incidentally, I have no face tattoos and my hair isn’t half green and half pink. I kind of blend in.

If I knew I was about to be hooked up to one of those I’d be tempted to take some weird hallucinogenic drug to see what my score would be. If it got to the point that I was being hooked up to brain wave scanners I figure my days were numbered anyway.
“Chinese researchers have reportedly developed an artificial intelligence system that is able to judge how receptive people are to “thought and political education.””
Bull Shit. I’ve heard many claims about the Chinese innovating something new a ground breaking. They always fizzle. The Chinese people do not have a conceptual or innovative bone in their skinny little malnourished bodies. That’s why they steal everybody else’s shit. They’re stupid.
It’s not that conservatives are hide-bound traditionalists (it just seems that way). Eternal truths tend to play themselves out in a conservative’s life, whether they are religious Christians or not.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
This verse was aimed primarily at questions of theology, but that’s the best aim there is because, when it comes down to it, everything comes down to a question of theology. Thus conservatives, weighing everything on the basis of what is good, true, and beautiful, tend to choose in that direction, and they call it tradition and say we are “resistant to change.” If Progtards only understood that there is truly nothing new under the sun, they’d figure out what is enduring and what is junk.
Do liberals have functioning brain cells? This may be a fatal flaw in performing brain scans on liberals.
My mother?
Let me tell you about my mother.
This story is brought to you by the same KIND of NITWITS that say an algorithm can predict crime in the cities a week in advance.
The guy who runs the machine tells the overlords what they want to hear.

Yep, receptive to our thought and political education.
Obtaining and developing a coherent line of thinking about life and one’s part in it is an endeavor. I would imagine those who least pursue this are most amenable to such ‘education’.
It is much easier to just go with the crowd, to accept teachings of childhood, to blandly accept that ‘this is how things are’ and move along down the track. We see this in the narratives the leftists constantly sling, narratives that allow a broad path for people to follow toward the glorious utopia of next Tuesday. It is very effective as we can see.
Gaining complete agreement with an individual, particularly an older individual, who has been working the endeavor of understanding is very unlikely. Nuances of thought produce disagreements in conclusions provisional as they are.
One reason people look for answers from outside authority (particularly unqualified authority, think Bill Gates on vaccines) is a lack of development of understandings within. The idea that there is a ‘final answer’ comes from that lack of development and a lack of desire to do the work to produce an internal understanding that works at least in part to explain why the hell people interact like we do.
