schadenfreude Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Yeah, maybe you can have this merged somewhere. Quote
red_ed Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 meh, doesn't bother me the slightest. Just an observation. Quote
schadenfreude Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Does anyone find it disturbing that flashes of light can be used to put people into a trance? Quote
Barry Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Does anyone find it disturbing that flashes of light can be used to put people into a trance?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>i'm more disturbed by the possible usage of subliminal messages in films and TV shows and the fact that i could be being indoctrinated or inadvertently loaded with advertisements. the government have made it illegal to use them but how can i be sure that they are not being used . . .

They know that most households have a TV and the TV is plugged to the electric socket 24/7. They claimed that the reason for this project was this: In times of emergency, the government can just flick the switch and then relay messages to every household. Conspiracy theorist was worried that the government might insert mind-controlling devices in the TV as well and used it with the combination of this device. I don't believe that subliminal messaging would work though.Flashing messages in a single frame could not do that much harm. Quote

schadenfreude Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 Hmmm... have you seen people being hypnotised? Quote
Barry Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 Hmmm... have you seen people being hypnotised? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yep . . . my friend was hypnotised in the summer . . . the hypnotist made him imagine that he was having sex and he simulated sexual acts on a chair. Quote
red_ed Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 ^ Hypnotism works! Whether or not it was faked doesn't really matter in that context Quote
Barry Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 my friend is a bit eccentric though and he claimed that he didn't feel that he was in a trance and that he just felt more 'suggestible'. one person couldn't be hypnotised by the guy though so i am somewhat skeptical . . . Quote

Some people (e.g. schizophrenics) have a higher level of susceptibility than others. So it's not something that works on everyone. Quote
