Like, everyone talks about hypnosis is fake, recovered memories are fake. The hypnosis just induced false memories into people.
Hold up though, we the power to do total recall and people don't talk about it? What is the MIT skeptic community psy-op is going on with this.
See, I don't think they actually midn wiped people. I think it is just them not being able to diagnose severe PTSD combined with the trauma of knowing the government might just do that to you as a bit.
A normie of 1960s had a premodern understanding of the world at best. Imagine them learning every terrible truth about the world being a lie, then trying to sit down and watch gunsmoke or whateer wholesome cowboy show.
apart from being horrifying that sounds like a useful therapeutic tool. if we were able to destroy memories like that it would be a useful thing to use that they are just keeping in their pocket.
yeah, that is how they did it. However if it actually worked the mechanism would have been found accidentally in there. Whatever the actually part that caused the effect might not be nearly as traumatic. That is just how they made sure to make it work. However this was largely government people back before medicine really got modernized. There might actually be something cool here if done by people that knew what they were doing.
Hypnosis to make people do your bidding is just fancy talk for grooming or standard social engineering.
For all the MKULTRA & Project Stargate stuff that gets tossed around, all the spooks managed to find out was standard bribery & blackmail are far more useful.
My understanding is that hypnosis is an altered state of heightened suggestibility, which can't really be triggered without consent. What happens between a 'therapist' and 'patient' though idk, I wouldn't assume a therapist is making their client think theyre a chair
Having hypnotized people before... yeah it's a pretty whack phenomenon but you're not really making them do anything they really wouldn't. Generally in a stage hypnosis show, all the people up there are on a spectrum between very suggestible and open to goofing around to just playing along because they don't want to interrupt the show.
I mean like, fuck a moral panic. The ability to recreationally create fake memories sounds rad as hell. Total recall style, I would pay for someone to give me a kick ass fake memory of something.
Well, I think nearly everyone has at least one (if not several) memories of things someone said/did/acted towards them that absolutely never happened, ever, purely because their minded needed a way to fill in the cracks. And this includes how often we mentally rearrange events to put ourselves least at fault, forget that something we thought really happened was actually in a dream, the way we re-evaluate past events and realize that there was nothing special to them at their first occurrence, etc.
So to blow your mind: all memories are fake.
So then you are saying, we could do this. And everyone is just ignoring the possibility cause "lol" or something.
