President Obama announced a new executive order on Tuesday which authorizes federal agencies to conduct behavioral experiments on U.S. citizens in order to advance government initiatives.

“A growing body of evidence demonstrates that behavioral science insights — research findings from fields such as behavioral economics and psychology about how people make decisions and act on them — can be used to design government policies to better serve the American people,” reads the executive order, released on Tuesday.

The new program is the end result of a policy proposal the White House floated in 2013 entitled “Strengthening Federal Capacity for Behavioral Insights.”

I think I've fallen into a time warp. Didn't Goebbels and Mengele try this in Nazi Germany??

Sound to me like Zero is a few decades late on this one. It seems Zero is codifying and bringing out in the open what has been going on sub rosa for long time.

Gramsci, a young communist who died in one of Mussolini's prisons in 1937 at the age of 46, conjured up the notion of a 'quiet' revolution that could be diffused throughout a culture -- over a period of time -- to destroy it from within. He was the first to suggest that the application of psychology to break the traditions, beliefs, morals, and will of a people could be accomplished quietly and without the possibility of resistance. He deduced that "The civilized world had been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2,000 years..." and a culture based on this religion could only be captured from within.

Behavioral science has been used to 'transform' our culture slowly overt time. The same techniques that are used to sell us items we neither need nor want, have been used to sell us a cultural transformation we neither need nor want.

A good example would be Pavlov's work on conditioned response.

As far as I'm concerned, the last 7 years have been one big behavioral experiment.

I think Americans are getting pretty sick of the bell jar.
