Scott Adams thinks he's a hypnotist, which is all the proof anyone should need that it's fake

The guys calling it fake are misunderstanding what it actually is. It's not magically compelling you to do things against your will. The best way I can think to describe it is: if you're open to it, the hypnotist's words take the place of your inner monologue while your "self" goes silent.

So it's just playing along. Got it.

I don't think you have.

I'm really sorry that I had to be the one to tell you you can't actually hypnotize girls.

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.

That man reading a rousing speech at a podium and everyone clapping? Absolute scam, anyone in grade school could read a bunch of words :agesilaus:

If your just saying hypnosis is manipulation then just say manipulation. Why use an obviously loaded term to obfuscate?

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.

I really want to get people who say stuff like this to smoke a nice fat bowl of salvia extract. Just take a massive rip of some 100x. Derealization + delirium and rigid philosophies mix like fluorine and magnesium :science:

Altered states are hella real, but you need hard drugs and not ASMR.
