I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I am utterly dumbfounded you can do this, then on the other hand I'm underwhelmed he would waste his talents on these post-wall women that nobody wants.
When I was in college, a hypnotist came and put on a demonstration. He asked all of us to close our eyes and then he gave us simple instructions like, imagine this, breathe like this, think about this.
When he was done, most of us looked at him expectantly, and at the same time, there were a small percentage of the students, something like five out of two hundred, who stayed in the trance. They were just sitting there, heads lowered, eyes closed.
Turns out I knew one of them, most of them were women, and she was a really cute basketball player, about five eleven. Afterwards, I grilled her on what had happened, and she couldn't explain it. It was like she just naturally obeyed all his commands and fell into and stayed in a trance just as naturally as the rest of us were all playing along.
It was very mysterious at the time and of course, as a guy, the first thing you think is how awesome it would be to hypnotize women like that.
Later on I read up on hypnosis some, and found out that this scenario is very common, and that hypnotists have several techniques that test people for suggestibility, and that with experience, they are very good at sizing up who is suggestible and good at following the lead of an authority, which is basically what a hypnotist is.
It is all very sticky however in terms of legality and blame. On a certain level, it is reasonable to assume that there is som level of consent going on with these women, and that their minds are playing along with the fantasy of what he is doing, being hypnotized and being naughty with the lawyer in his office is certainly not something that no woman has ever thought of, and the hypnosis aspect removes all responsibility for them.
So they are in a state of knowing and not knowing at the same time which is very similar to being in a state of full hamster, or, as I once heard a woman put it, 'Rationalizing is the key to ignoring your conscience and still sleeping at night."
On the other hand, the whole concept of suggestibility is an extremely strange one, and we all know that kids and people with Down Syndrome are very suggestible, and that they can be influenced to do things that aren't good for them, and if you did that, it certainly would be your fault.
So how do you decide what exactly is going on here? Some people who used to practice hypnosis now believe that suggestibility is all that matters and that you don't need trances or anything like that, you just need to get them agreeing with you and then push them into areas further afield.
So, maybe there is a class of people, normal in all other respects, who are very open and trusting and easily swayed, and anyone with the slightest bit of personal authority can get them to do anything.
So do we have to figure out who these people are and them classify them as having a lower level of free will? Do they have less responsibility for what they do? And does that mean that everyone else has a higher responsibility to them?
I think in the case of this lawyer, it would make the most sense to get him convicted on professional improprieties and leave the hypnosis aspect out of it altogether.
I doubt these courts really understand hypnosis better than anyone else.
This video tripped me out the first time I saw it. It appears to be a perfect example of finding a suggestible person and taking advantage of him.
No trance, just some alpha body language and some pacing and leading, and the guy is doing what he is told.
Even when they debrief him afterwards, he can't explain it. He just accepts another person's authority blindly.
If any of you learn how to do this, please don't be an evil hypnotist.
