The Bomb in the Brain, Part 4 - The Effects of Child Abuse (The Death of Reason)

In January I posted the first three videos in this series - the fourth one is now up at YouTube and available, so here it is.

The Bomb in the Brain

by Stefan Molyneux

The effects of child abuse run like an outgrowth of tentacles into nearly every aspect of the personality and health of a human being. Though the empirical data and evidence is quite revealing as to the extent of its lasting effects, the effect it has on ourselves is not truly realized until one is humbled by years of battle in the tireless, toil and labor of intervening work required to heal and change for the better.

The scientific evidence underlying the near-universal resistance to reason and evidence. If you want to change the world, you first must understand the unconscious barriers to thinking.
