I prefer to avoid words like "hypnosis", "trance", "unconscious" or "subconscious" altogether. You can use them to create an expectation, but they aren't necessary for hypnosis to work. I wouldn't even tell someone that I'm a "hypnotist". It has too many ridiculous connotations for most people.<br /><br />Another thing, if your non-verbal interaction is solid, then whatever you say is also likely to be solid. Both come from your 'state' or 'how you feel', whether you're aware of it consciously or not (and both socially in general and hypnosis in particular). I think you basically understand that, too, but I think it's more important than you may be aware.<br /><br />>If you're just creeped out by how much influence you can get when you learn the rules of the game - and the lack of a *built in* morality enforcer - then, well... yeah, it is what it is.<br /><br />True that. I think we're still a long way from the limits of what is possible, for that matter.Marc Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701776526777086824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340549211625160136.post-72699118051225111182012-10-02T11:38:20.685-07:002012-10-02T11:38:20.685-07:00I'll give the short version now and give the p...I'll give the short version now and give the pros/cons and light/dark of it later: implicit consent is getting consent through their behaviors rather than explicit words.<br /><br />If you walk up to your old friend and say "I've missed you!" with your arm outstretched and he comes in and hugs you, that's implicit consent. If you say "May I hug you?" and he says "yes", that's explicit consent. If you just go up and hug the guy while he sits there trying to hide his discomfort but not quite saying "no"... that's different, creepy, and not what I'm talking about.<br /><br />I'm talking about behavior that says "yes!" rather than the lack of words that explicitly say "no". I think that get's at your objection. Implicit consent is how the vast majority of social interactions run, and is how socially calibrated people operate. If you're just creeped out by how much influence you can get when you learn the rules of the game - and the lack of a *built in* morality enforcer - then, well... yeah, it is what it is.jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02321898801267236687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340549211625160136.post-66417006953415203872012-09-30T21:11:14.874-07:002012-09-30T21:11:14.874-07:00> I have been wanting to seamlessly transition...> I have been wanting to seamlessly transition from conversation to hypnosis for a while now - relying only on implicit consent (this is a really cool idea that I have to expand on one of these days).<br /><br />Please do, "implicit consent" sounds ambiguous and pretty creepy, actually.shminuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14839893305346338345noreply@blogger.com
