2 examples. a) way cults work, and b) ways a magnet works. In a (religious) cult, the newbies are first encouraged to join in on simple actions like clapping. This is a psychological device to get them to participate and show that nobody objects to their "actions". Then they are encouraged to "sing a little bit" .. moving onto dancing, chanting, praise be the lording or whatever .... Pick a magnet, any magnet. Pick a piece of unmagnetic iron. Gently stroke said magnet in the same direction repeatedly over said piece of iron. Note those little (Brainwashed) magnetic dipoles lining up just so ... That's how the faith model and Al-Qaeda works.
