There is a war on for your mind, as behavioural scientists increasingly shape the narrative that you hear and see. This is especially true in regards to Covid-19. As a UK government document from<\/a> March of last year stated, \u201cmany issues around the coronavirus response relate to behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is why the UK government has an entire team of behavioural scientists who work to improve public compliance with scientific dictates in relation to Covid-19. It is called the Independent Scientific Pandemic Insights Group on Behaviours (SPI-B)<\/a>, with a similar group formed during the co-called swine flu pandemic of 2009\/10 and the Ebola crisis of 2014.<\/p>\n

The behavioural team is a sub-group of the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), which advises the UK government on Covid-19. This sub-group is comprised of more than 40<\/a> scientists and academics, from such fields as health psychology, social psychology and anthropology. They provide \u201cbehavioural science advice<\/a> aimed at anticipating and helping people adhere to interventions that are recommended by medical or epidemiological experts.\u201d<\/p>\n

The behavioural sub-group has suggested various measures. In order to increase public compliance with Covid dictates for instance, the sub-group suggested \u201cincreasing risk perceptions<\/a>.\u201d A UK government document also notes that the behavioural sub-group is \u201cmaintaining a log of COVID-19 specific behavioural science<\/a>, including polling.\u201d In other words, Covid-19 is the grandest live social experiment in human history, and we are the guinea pigs.<\/p>\n
