I'll start with this. I'm not accusing you of any wrongdoing.
The way your comment was delivered, with the included image, could be considered an example of power of suggestion. I wouldn't have thought about that version of reality had you not said it that way while suggesting what needs to looked at, and how it should be seen.
Power of suggestion is used in media all the time; tucked away in 'news' a lot, regardless of source. I've known about it for years from previous studies. When I read things, or listen, watch; I don't consume. I observe. I study it. Things like advertisements and hype; no effect on me. I'm not looking at it the way it's intended to be seen. Naturally picking it apart like it's a magic show.
I'm not saying you're full of crap. I'm saying I picked up on something in your delivery that you might not even be aware of; how it can be processed by others. Don't be offended. You asked. That's my answer, with respect.
We see what others have trained us to see, or what we have trained ourselves to see, or what we are led to see.
It is interesting twist on the frequent criticism of the news, it's not reporting the facts and allowing us to draw conclusion, it's reporting of the conclusions, and selective reporting the facts, so we agree with the conclusions.
They attempt to tell us how we should feel about the news, then only report the parts that support that feeling, instead of reporting the facts and allowing us to reach our own conclusion.
I think your saying we can do this with images by prefacing the image with a narrative or conclusion to be drawn from the imagine. And this can be unintentional or intentional. Which you quickly point out, and rightly so, we shouldn't assume ill intent or subterfuge. This can be accidental, unintentional and be a complete surprise to those we accuse of premeditated actions.
I think that's very fair, and very pre-emptive, which is always wise on the Good Ship Hive, where we don't have the benefit of facial expression and body language to tip us off to intent, so we can be misconstrued.
You have definately put in your time, and weathered more then the occaisional storm on the good ship Hive.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it. The results can be observed simply by looking at the reactions. There are several layers and when combined lead to a form of hypnosis. Explaining is difficult. Most think they're immune and it could never happen to them. Every consumer of online news/information on the planet has been exposed to it. Spreads easily.
In everyday conversation it is far less likely to be intentional. Information intended to be for profit/views/consumption; far more likely to be intentional though when the thought is being spread by many, those folks passing it on would most likely be unaware since at that point, they've already been influenced, and most likely didn't know.
Yes, at times, I find communicating some ideas is far more strenuous than it needs to be, but that's what I get for being a freak and knowing it.
I actually heard of it for the first time two days ago while watching a testimony of someone that used to be an ex-hypnotherapist.
Why do you ask?
