In this video I consider how much control we have over our own minds. We may not have as much control as we think and this can be demonstrated in ironic processes of mental control as well as unconscious processes. While exploring this question, I introduce thought suppression and counter-intentional effects, dual-process theory, system 1 (unconscious, low road, fast pathway) and system 2 (conscious, high road, slow pathway), evolutionary theories about unconscious processing, priming, the replication crisis, the mere-exposure effect, and the role of advertising on influencing our behavior.
