How to Not Get Manipulated, Conned, Played, or Gaslit in an Age of AI, Social Media, and Social Engineering

Synopsis

We are in the early days of the fifth disruptive technology revolution of our lifetimes.

Disruption 1: The advent of the personal computer.
Disruption 2: The internet.
Disruption 3: Social Media.
Disruption 4: Smart phones.

And most recently perhaps the biggest and most disruptive of all—AI. Each disruption has been built upon the ones that came before.

All of these have combined to rewire the brains of several generations and to spawn an epidemic of anxiety, insecurity, fear, rage, polarization, and most of all, deception. Deception and manipulation.

In Escaping the Matrix, Christian author and teacher David Holland is joined by licensed family and marriage therapist Bob Hamp to equip you to live a “reality-based life” and live in the freedom of the truth in an increasingly deceptive world.

This is why “critical thinking skills” for Christians are more important than ever before. The available tools of manipulation are insidious. But it’s possible to become large immune to their effects.

This course is designed to help believers live “reality based” lives, in an era of widespread, tech-driven deception.
