Distorting reality in users’ minds, eliminating logical and critical thinking, changing the existing value system, and creating an illogical, fragmented, and fake image of the world that has no relation to objective reality.
Mind manipulation and aggressive cognitive wars are prominent features of today’s digital world; an era characterized by the abundance of fakes and post-truth.
The ultimate objective is not only to confuse but to erode trust in established institutions, destabilize social cohesion, and make individuals question every source of information, including authentic ones.
Cognitive wars also aim to exhaust the target population mentally and emotionally, leaving them vulnerable to manipulation and control.
Once confusion and distrust dominate, adversaries gain the ability to shape narratives, guide behaviors, and impose new ideological frameworks without the need for direct force.
