I’ve always wondered how hypnotists could convince people the way they do. After all, the principle of recollection and learning is sense perception whereas it seems that hypnotism suggests by putting someone into a trance, which I interpret to mean that a hypnotist puts someone into a state of sensual suspension.
I just saw a hypnotist on vacation this summer. He stated that under hypnosis you always know what you are doing and choose to do it. It is never against your will and you do have perception of reality.
Amnesia and blacking out are not the same thing as a drug that allows you to make someone act at your commandments. You can’t just slip the date rape drug in someone’s drink and then say “hey, go slaughter these people in the theater.”
“Amnesia and blacking out are not the same thing as a drug that allows you to make someone act at your commandments.”
hospitals give versed to patients all the time…it allows them to give the patients commands during procedures…and when the procdure is all said and done…the patient doesn’t remember a thing.
Prime wouldnt you say that some drugs can make you do things you typically wouldn’t? From flirting with a girl out of your league,getting in fights and driving drunk? If you would agree that drugs can make you act outside normality then why can’t it make you kill?
All someone would need to do is find someone that doesn’t find killing outside their capabilities and brainwash/drug that person. Holmes could be someone who typically would nt kill, but if you create the right circumstances then he would.
