John McAfee begins by invoking Arthur C. Clarke’s idea that any sufficiently advanced technology is seen as magic by those who do not understand it. He asserts that the mainstream media has been using a technology called neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) for more than fifteen years, and that NLP makes people think and believe things which are not true. He claims that the media deceives the public about various topics, including Iraq’s alleged nuclear weapons during the second Gulf War and the claim that the COVID-19 virus is decimating the world. He states that these beliefs are propagated through NLP, and he asks if the audience wants to know what NLP is and if he can demonstrate it.
McAfee then provides a demonstration with five cards on a screen. He asks the audience to pick one instantly and to stay with that choice. He asks them to think about it. He then shuffles the cards, puts them back, and repeats the process, ultimately revealing that the card the audience picked is not there on the screen. He reiterates that the card they chose is not present after the shuffle, concluding, “Why? Because you have seen the magic of neuro linguistic programming. Wake the fuck up.”
