Humans are not mere LLMs. But it's nice to think we are. May be we can program other humans with carefully constructed prompts alone. May be hypnosis is just a prompt injection attack.
Isn’t that what scammers, catfishers, con artists, and marketers do?
If it all really is nurture rather than nature we're much more fragile than people may realize and only ever one generation away from going ferral
That doesn't seem right to me, as we cannot survive childhood without adults. Young humans are ready for life in society long before they are able to survive on their own without support from the society around them.
We have been depending on the continuation of some form of society for likely hundreds of thousands of years, not just for staying civilised but simply for survival.
Is that not what reasoning is in a debate?

No need to go into hypnosis. Mere prompts can inject false memories. This has been proven multiple times [1].
