"The Biology of Propaganda" — the second lecture in Sergey Lopatin's series "The Biology of War"

Propaganda is so effective precisely because it presses on important biological levers. "Motherland", "the ring of enemies", "we don’t abandon our own" — there is nothing new in these words, yet such slogans still work.

The reason lies in the evolutionary and neurobiological foundations they rely on. That’s exactly what we will study — using both simple and far more sophisticated examples.

Speaker: Sergey Lopatin, biology teacher and science popularizer
