Show Notes
Why do smart people defend their abusers? It starts in 1973 with a bank vault, but today's threat is invisible. We explore the neurochemistry of cortisol and oxytocin that creates toxic bonds, and how Silicon Valley "alignment sessions" use the same 72-hour window as kidnappers. Learn how algorithms and isolation shrink your world, and why your prefrontal cortex goes offline under pressure. This is how ideological capture hacks your survival instincts.
