    Default Covert hypnosis



    I don't agree with this video, quite, but it raises a topic I've had in the back of my mind for a while. I think this "covert hypnosis" is a study of the effectiveness of behavior for leading a crowd. Put through the lens of a theory of mind control, Obama seems like a devious manipulator.

    Tbh I feel Obama is Fi IJ.

    Idk whether gamma or delta though. Ash says Fi ISFj, but Im not totally convinced.

    I dont think we should just label every charismatic black democrat as beta NF.

    Nope.

    But I would like to assert that Ashton is a seriously damaged EIE, and not an LIE like he claims to be.

    The above is an example of this affect.

    When enough people say repeatedly that something is some way, others previously unconvinced will feel brow beaten into agreement or will feel internally pressured to concurrence both from a lack of standing opposition and from a deep psychological need to be accepted.

    Unfortunately this community has absolutely no qualms about using this, but the mechanics of it are quite interesting to observe.

    Its like watching scientists observe the movements and lives of rats in cages and yet I'm a giant, observing the scientists who are actually in a cage themselves.

    Fun stuff, you should try it.

    The last time I called Obama EIE, someone told me (paraphrased) "His campaign is EIE, but he isn't." So I'm talking about his campaign.

    To me, this "covert hypnosis" stuff makes a case for him as EIE in and of itself. Either that or he's studied NLP and is deliberately brainwashing the public...

    You know, it would be a brilliant tactic, if the maker of the video wanted to hypnotize his viewers, to set it up as if the person he discusses in his film is the hypnotist, thus diverting the attention of the viewer's rational mind - "distracting the rational mind" as he calls it in the video.

    The great tactic of "look at what this other person is doing, beware of them". So while you're busy worrying about the other person, it leaves the door open for the accuser to do his own hypnotizing on you.
