Do you ever think about how powerful movies are?

[O.Red]

The visual is what makes it “real”.

Play a song for someone who never met or saw NBA young boy and they won’t know what he looks like nor be able to connect to the lyrics of the song, besides possibly the bop.

Let them watch the same video of the song and now they can see exactly what he rapping about, possibly become influenced by how he dresses, mannerisms, and whatever else is displayed. You can’t achieve that sync without a visual.

That wasn't the point tho. You were comparing music to movies

I already confirmed the power of the visual but a music video is not a movie. A music video is in service of the music

Again my point is a song, and a video accompanying the song, do the job of a movie with a fraction of the time. That's a testament to the power of music, with or without a video. It's a highly concentrated shot of cinema

This is a great example of how music sets the tone and turns the visuals up to 10 in terms of impact. As the modalities stack the sum of their parts is far more together than alone.

You could add color grading, scene composition and various other bits of editing as well due to how they capture and shift your attention but that may be beyond the scope of the current discussion.

Yeah but then you stop caring. Who could honestly say that a movie made a lasting change to their life or to their attitude about something. The sympathy machine runs out of sympathy once it runs out of film

I can most certaintly say that about movies and music and I would imagine a lot of other people could attest to the same.



From Achillies to Muhammad Ali, from Gilgamesh to Captain America...story telling is vital to the human experience. And as mundane as it can seem in the moment, we are in the midst of making the mythology that succeeding generations will study and even invest in them as truths to a degree.

I think there is far more to this influence than most people will admit, mainly due to how invisible it is if you live a life unexamined.

Once you've seen it though its quite obvious the world dances on the fingertips of the hidden hand and are pulled by strings attached to their subconscious which cannot help but take in everything it witnesses and then uses it as the basis for the rest that happens next. Remember, your brain cannot differentiate between imagination and the real thing:

The shyt a trained NLP practioner can do without an 80 inch screen and surround sound...shyt is real.

Yet, nothing to be 'scared' of. It's a matter of being mindful and having enough discernment to be selective about what it is you internalize. Without that, the media machine pays a pretty penny for free access to your subconcious.

Well if we take it back to music vs movies, I would still disagree with you. Movies require more investment, and are more complex the way they play on your emotions. The stimuli also has a longer lasting effect than music I’d say.

Music gets you moving and keeps energy in play. They do offer something aspire to also. Movies can introduce you to a whole new way of life and are even more aspirational than music.

Movies are introductions to people from varying cultures around the world. Movies can establish stereotypes and cement them in minds in ways music will never be able to.

Think back to when you were a kid and listened to music on the radio. You may have not known exactly what the lyrics were about. Now if you watched terminator movie, you’d what a gun is, and how it can be used to kill someone.

Yep. Once you've seen the use of language patterns and modality tricks its impossible to unsee them hence words are weapons and thoughts are things if you are ignorant of the deeper meaning of these spells and rites. Does what it says on the tin! Its so Devilish, friends.

Politicians use it very well as do those in law enforcement and the legal profession. Actually just knowing is akin to a firewall for the brain as you are more resonant with your subcon. Side note:

I don't watch the news and haven't done for a very, very long time but probably a decade or so ago I walked through a room when it was on and stopped in my tracks when I noticed something. The place in question had just had a new surround system installed and whilst the presenter was droning on about some bad event etc etc I couldn't help but notice the swell of strings and backing they were broadcasting. Very subtle but undoubtedly present and used to great effect as it was almost invisible but wielded great influence.

How many of you have noticed the news has a soundtrack/score now?

Like I said this was around 2012 and at that point I probably hadn't watched it since 2002 at the latest so it was a brand new development. Subtle but, as this thread shows, a very effective form of emotional manipulation. How many of you have spotted this and actually noticed the shift in real time as it wasn't always like this.

the scarier thought is what would be in its place if there was no programming?

these conspiracy "make you think" threads are always interesting because of the rebel trope always present

but people...what would you do when you escape the evil empire to find whats outside of the custom made for you yolk/shell?

You saying the programming is for our benefit?

Fight club and the matrix or two movies that made me think. Think it made me better tho.

assuming you'd have to do your own domestication...

walk me through how you would make a big mac in the rainforest/savannah

to make this easier (cheat codes) you could start with:

wildebeest (x2)
wild tomato
mustard seed
wild wheat
wild lettuce
10 years of non-aggression from locals and animals

now if you a no limit soldier, howd you do it without cheat codes?

Y'all can't enjoy anything without getting scared of the occult.

"Welcome to Subway, would you like a sandwich?"

"Sand witch? Arabian witchcraft?! Sub guey? You're subliminally trying to replace me with Mexicans?!?!!"

That was a hell of an example using R Kelly

People were programmed to hate him. Most these same people knew bout the tapes since the early 2000s and didn’t give a fukk till they was told how they should feel in the late 2010s.

Now those same people who watched the tapes and didn’t care now all of a sudden the same ones who want him boycotted and thrown under the jail.

It’s scary how unaware people are of the mind control they’re under when you can see it clear as day

I think I get what you’re saying

I been saying some level of programming is necessary for the functioning of a society. But the way people are under complete mind control and don’t even realize it is

And that wildebeest Mac sounds delicious

you said in the other thread "all those bible quotes you posted are just gonna make people aggravated"

its like you have a robot that has stock mind control, you introduce new mind control to it and say: this is also mind control but I am letting you know that now you have the choice on what mind control you eat from

what If I told you the holy people did all the domestication for you, even increased the flavor of the ingredients, built a shadow empire out of the sea, and sit back in hiding while you contemplate which mind control you'll eat from?
