The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance20 Touko 2025

The Biohacker’s Guide to CIA Mind Control & Brainwashing : 1283

You’re being programmed, and it’s more subtle and pervasive than you think. From invisible influence to psychological manipulation, this episode shows you how to recognize when your thoughts aren’t really yours.

Host Dave Asprey uncovers the hidden science of mind control with Harvard historian Rebecca Lemov. She is a professor of the History of Science at Harvard University and one of the world’s leading experts on psychological manipulation, surveillance science, government experimentation, and Cold War brainwashing programs. Her groundbreaking research into MK Ultra, behavioral psychology, and reeducation campaigns reveals exactly how external forces hijack your thoughts, emotions, and decisions, without you knowing.

They break down how mind control evolved from CIA-funded brain implants and LSD experiments into today’s algorithmic persuasion, trauma-based manipulation, and tech-driven influence. This episode gives you practical tools to defend your thoughts, upgrade your awareness, and reclaim your mental sovereignty.

This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, mindfulness, longevity, mental performance, self-awareness, hacking the nervous system, emotional control, and high-performance mindset training.

You’ll Learn:

• How the CIA used MK Ultra, psychedelics, hypnosis, and implants to test behavior control

• What mind control looks like in modern media, social platforms, and persuasive technology

• How unresolved trauma and emotional blind spots leave you vulnerable to manipulation

• The connection between neurohacking, mindset, and mental autonomy

• How to recognize when you are running someone else’s code

• The best psychological tools to build resilience and conscious awareness

• How to build a “mental firewall” with meditation, breathwork, and attention training
