A considerable part of the covid response by many governments around the world has consisted of pervasive attempts at changing the public's behaviour. This is to be expected, at least in part - wash your hands, keep your distance, wear a mask - these seem like fairly sensible measures to combat the spread of a respiratory virus. However, the extent to which these behaviour change measures have been implemented - not only by governments, but corporations, international organizations, and of course, the mainstream media - is highly disconcerting.
This episode of The Crossroads Podcast takes a closer look at the behaviour change agenda and why the powerful are trying to shape the way we think.
