The problem is dumb people thinking that it's literally mind control likely pictured in your favorite media while in reality it's just cooperative exercise of sorts.

I dutifully await "martial arts is bullshit because I can't spirit bomb like Goku" thread.

I love all the euphamisms in this thread for 'the participants are playing along' stated like its trying to prove the opposite point. this is like the fifth one.

I've never been hypnotized or at least that's what the nice man with a watch told me, but it sounds a lot like assisted meditation if the participant essentially allows his mind to slip into an altered state.

Don't you know, altered states are woo woo bullshit. I am an inviolable and unchanging locus of consciousness, awareness, and reason situated behind somewhere behind the eyes and so are all of you. Anyone who says differently is a stupid liar.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

I went to a hypnosis show in middle school with my parents and was pulled up on stage. I had no preconceived notions of what hypnosis was so I just kind of zoned out for a bit, I didn't start acting like a chicken or whatever he wanted me to do. Meanwhile the guy next to me was doing a high kicking dance.

I guess I told my parents I felt really relaxed but that was it. Everything I've read and seen yet confirms that - you're basically in the same mental state you are when you're really engrossed in something, but some people are willing to play along or think they're supposed to act like that.

If you think about it paying for a prostitute is quintessential hypnosis because you are convincing someone receptive to do what you suggest to them.

If I want to eat Mexican and my wife wants burgers, and I convince her to get Mexican, did I just hypnotize my wife? I want to know if I'm a master-hypnotist, since apparently changing minds in any way, shape, or form is hypnosis.

Non-consenual attempts to convince people of anything is actually hypno-rape.

My sister once did a thing where I closed my eyes and she clapped either side of my head for like 10 minutes and then said she was tying a rope to my wrists and that the other end was tied to the back of a truck and then she said the truck was driving away and my arms went up automatically.

I was about 8

Your sister was beating the poo poo out of your head for ten minutes that was the loving fencing response dude.
