Abstract

The article provides a brief analysis of the concept of “virus of mind’ and its functioning in the modern information field. It is indicated that in almost all works in which the problem of the mind virus is addressed to one degree or another, it is considered in the context of influencing human consciousness or the mass of people. It is stated that the use of certain verbal units, as well as their structuring in the necessary order, can lead to almost the same effect of exposure to an object as with a biological or computer virus, i.e., leading to psychological stress, distortion of reality, information failure, negative emotions, etc.
