“Who are they?”

It’s a question designed to stop a conversation in its tracks. But what is actually happening in the brain when someone demands a name, a CEO, or a secret group before they will look at the evidence?

In this episode, Mark deconstructs the dark psychology behind the question “Who are they?” and why it acts as a hypnotic circuit breaker for uncomfortable truths. Drawing on his work as a hypnotherapist and author of the Dark Psychology Defense Toolkit, Mark explores the intersection of trauma, inner child survival strategies, and systemic influence.

Inside the episode:

  • The Weaponization of Falsifiability: How “logic” is used to delete measurable data.

  • The Just World Fallacy: Why we would rather believe the system is fair than face a faceless threat.

  • The Debunking Pivot: Why giving them a name is exactly what they want you to do.

  • The Social Compliance Check: How listeners use labeling to decide if you are socially “safe” or “crazy.”

Key Takeaway: Learn the specific reframe to use so you can stay focused on the results and stop being the target of someone else’s defense mechanisms.
