Do you believe hypnosis is a thing?

[OddBeMe]

Like TV hypnosis…lol, where the murderer was hypnotized by the real killer. (Law and Order sound, Jerry Orbach: “I guess everyone is zoning out these days”).

Yes it is

No it isn't

Some people are more prone to it than others, but I don't think someone will kill another person on demand under hypnosis without long pre programing, very high sensitivity to hypnosis and lack of any empathy. A psychopath with limited mental capacity and special training under hypnosis will probably kill

I did birth hypnosis to take away the labor pain and it did work a bit

[OddBeMe]

Interesting. So perhaps it focused the mind and maybe compartmentalized the pain? Did you feel brainwashed at all?

[Apple1996]

I did feel a little weird but not brainwashed

[OddBeMe]

Sounds like well used.

[OtterMan68]

it's not mind control like often portrayed in the movies, but it is real. You can't hypnotize someone and get them to assissinate the president, for example

[OddBeMe]

Well shit. There goes my investment in Manchuria.

[Kaneki05]

It helps as a therapy but it's not mind control.

[OddBeMe]

Agreed

[purplepoppy]

I think it can relax you but if it was real we'd see it being used more in real life not just in entertainment. Even there it seems to be dying out.

[OddBeMe]

I agree there’s a focus thing that could help people.

[Sevenpointfive]

no. telepathy unless between twins has no science

[laly520]
