Corporations Hypnotising You Is Boring And Normal


By William T Batten

Never read the comments section. That's what they say because it's good advice. When Samsung started offering to hypnotise people into forgetting their favourite TV shows, the reactions were everything that you'd expect. There were jokes, trolling and delusion - hallmarks of the wild west that is the internet.

There was a lot of shock, too. People didn't know what to make of it. It seemed like a joke but they appear sincere.

A common reaction was surprise that anyone would subject themselves to this. Inviting a corporation into your mind? Watching TV is one thing but hypnosis is another thing entirely.

Uh... well...

If you believe that, then you're not qualified to talk about hypnosis.

Television hypnotises more people per day than all hypnotists combined. It grabs your attention, dissociates you from yourself and reality, and stimulates the unconscious parts of your brain. If you scoff and say that's not hypnosis then, again, you are not qualified to even have an opinion.

If you don't mind television but are afraid of someone talking to you, then you aren't afraid of hypnosis. What you're afraid of doesn't map to reality.

I assume Samsung is offering a genuine hypnotic experience. I wouldn't know because I haven't listened to it. Not because I'm afraid of them messing with my mind. I'd block it - something that, with a smidge of hypnosis training, is easy to do. There are better ways for me to waste over 20 minutes though.

But even without listening to it, I can be certain that there's no hypnotic command to buy a new Samsung TV. How can I be so sure? Because no one has said, "hey, you know what's weird? That part where he said I should buy a new TV."

Just because a command is hypnotic, that doesn't mean you don't notice it. Again, this is basic hypnosis here. Everyone should know this.

"But what about subliminal messaging?"

Hahaha. No. If that worked, you wouldn't need advertisements at all.

If you want to be concerned, be concerned about product placement. It's subtle enough to slip by your attention, overt enough for part of you to notice. It puts that particular product somewhere in your mind. Not quite at the front of it, not so deep that you never think about it.

Does product placement work? It tends to boost sales, sure. But it doesn't hijack your free will and turn you into a mindless consumer. Hypnosis is even worse at this, so don't fear the thing that doesn't harm you.

Of course, if you had any experience with hypnosis apart from what TV tells you, you'd know all this already. So stop being a sucker and be hypnotised with your knowledge (for a change):

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
