Gekke vraag, maar ik had op de basisschool een onderwijzer en die bracht kinderen soms onder hypnose en later was ik een keer bij een bijeenkomst van een hypnotiseur. Allebei zeiden ze dat ze mij niet onder hypnose konden brengen, maar bij heel veel anderen lukte dat wel.
Nu denk ik wel eens: Wat als een groot deel onder ons gehypnotiseerd is en waarom werkt dat niet bij iedereen?
It is the end of summer (in my part of the world at least*).
I started the summer with the Silly Summer Hatting project, the summary of which is shown below (& you can still see the full size images on the hashtag).
Planning an hour or two later of not doing much at all, so if you missed out, and would like to sneak your pet in at the last moment drop a reply to this thread.

lol– isn't this literally the plot of #AynRand's #Fountainhead?
The pseudo-intellectuals among the #MAGA types purport to be Ayn Rand acolytes. Her individualist diatribes against socialism as the highest ideal, used architecture as a vehicle. She preached that "classic" design for everything was the path of stagnant dullards, unlike her protagonist.
Meanwhile maga pushes exactly that – everyone has to wear the same hat and conform to the leader's ideology. Who's the collectivist now?
Europe's economic woes aren't just another downturn, they're a sign of a systemic unraveling.
The interconnected crises of debt, deindustrialization, and political gridlock in Britain, Germany, and France reveal that the core contradictions of neoliberalism are reaching a breaking point.

Laut Infinite-Monkey-Theorem wird, wenn man Affen auf Schreibmaschinen tippen lässt, zufällig irgendwann Shakespeares #Hamlet entstehen. Jedoch müsste dafür das gesamte Universum voller Affen sein. Und selbst dann würde es ewig dauern. 😳😂🤷♂️

Und tote und lebendige Affen müssfn zufällig verteilt sein.
Dann ist im Binärcode zoter/lebendiger Affe berrits alles enthalten. In jeglicher Sprachversion und Zeichencodierung.
Es müsste nicht ewig dauern, es könnte ja theoretisch schon einer der ersten Affen zu Beginn das ganze Werk runterschreiben - es ist möglich, nur halt nicht seeehr wahrscheinlich.
Aber wozu 🤷♂️ Es gibt ja "Hamlet" schon und man würde den getippten Seiten nicht unbedingt ansehen, dass Affen sie getippt haben.

A los diseñadores nos piden muchas cosas, como a las putas.
Nos piden trabajar a deshoras, como a las putas.
Nos piden muestra para saber si nos contratan...
Nos piden un plus por el mismo pago...

This #FreeCADFriday, I am using @FreeCAD to design a 3d-printable laser optic mount system for interferometry experiments!
The main element are the kinematic mounts for precisely aligning all the optics. I have opted to use a flexure based design which required a lot of prototyping to get right (and there is still a lot of room for improvement...).

We've successfully upgraded our Mastodon server to v4.5.0-alpha.2+mementomods-2025-08-30. This update includes today's latest daily build, so everything should be as current as possible. The version features some minor UI improvements tied to the new Quote Posts feature we're testing.
We've also set up an organization for all code-related work, so it's no longer on my personal account. Check it out here: github.com/mementomori-social

Invited this new friend to come live with me after I saw him at the Family Dollar last night when I didn't have my wallet on me (it was an unexpected sidequest when exercising) so I walked over 2 miles back there this morning to bring him home. His name is Buttons.

in reply to Catharina Bethlehem ☑️ Cath • • •There is this theory that hypnosis is actually an everyday thing. We do it all the time with ourselves: when we muse about ideas, when we daydream, when we startle. We are sometimes more or less open to suggestions, be it auto-suggestions or suggestions from outside.
To come back to your question. I think Adam Curtis kind of answers it in his documentaries this way: Feelings have during the 20th century become an essential "playing field" for politics. Many of us are emotionally influenced by media. Spindoctors use metaphors ("flood of migration") to suggest. One of the most vital sources of these spindoctors are the think-tanks of the (neo-)liberal movement and the counter-culture which go together since 60 years.

in reply to Catharina Bethlehem ☑️ Cath • • •Actually to me it is atm not crystal clear if and how explicit attempts of "(mass) hypnosis" or NLP (hypnosis' trite brother) have ever been made by politicians (though I would be very interested to know.)
I know that e.g. Churchill and Hitler were aware of Le Bon's book about mass psychology that argues how masses of people are hypnotically suggestable almost 100 years ago. So I can not imagine that politicians or parts of "the elite" today are not aware of the power of the suggestions they give in public language.
