How Do You Train a Human?

November 12, 2020 11:49 - 9 minutes - 16.1 MB

To train humans the number one tool is fear.

Eventually, after just a couple of weeks, you have passive, obedient humans that do exactly as they are told EVEN IF it no longer makes no sense. Listen to the short episode from Alan Forrest Smith's How To Train A Human.
