We spend endless hours on the Internet. If you can honestly tell me you don’t, then I’d be shocked. You’re indeed one of the few. As for the rest of us, we love the World-Wide-Web. It presents us with endless possibilities. We can pass emails back and forth to friends and family. We can shop without the burden of parking spaces, crowds and retail costs. We can research information on our favorite subjects. Download all the newest tunes and even converse in local chat room communities. This concept has revolutionized the way we live, function on a day-to-day basis and communicate with one another. It’s extraordinary to say the least. Just imagine all the people waiting in cyberspace for you.
Okay, here’s a quick survey. Raise your hand high in the air if you’ve ever chatted on the web. Now wave around like you just don’t care. Uh, forget that second part. My point is we’re all curious. I doubt too many individuals with access to a PC or Mac failed to raise their hand. We all search for local chat room communities. There’s a small part of us that wants to know who’s lingering inside. I’ve certainly been there. And trust me when I tell you, a local chat room can be addictive.
I tested the waters with just the basic ones that came standard with AOL back in 2000. I thought it was great how many different rooms there were. I could easily hop from room to room in search of different and new folks to meet and chat with. Everyone identified themselves with their handle. It was commonly something like 24Msingle. This is cyber talk. Virtually anyone on the planet can decipher this stuff.
After a few weeks of conversing in random local chat room communities, I decided to give it up. Oh, who am I kidding? It was taking up too much of my time. But, if you’re a teenager, I could see why you would be addicted. It’s expected from our youth. It’s all about the local chat room, myspace.com and instant messaging. Try to avoid addiction. This is one statement regarding local chat room communities that you should take seriously. Just like video games, chat rooms can be seriously addictive. Have fun with them on occasion, but try not to get sucked into a daily routine.
It is strange how fascinated people are with the idea of mind control. Whether it is hypnotic mind control or mental manipulation by the CIA, the idea of controlling the thoughts of others is everywhere. I think that this is for one simple, psychological reason. The idea of mind control really represents the core of human desire. Everyone wishes that they could just think of something and have it so. No matter whether you want money, power, love or success, it would be great to just be able to think it and have it so.
In recent years mind control has become big business in many different ways. On the one hand, ideas of black ops of CIA mind control conspiracies, become more and more common, as our liberties are stolen from us and we slip into a culture of paranoia and constant surveillance. With all of these evil people watching us, supposedly for our own protection, and with all of these advertisers trying to manipulate our thoughts to get us to desire what they have to sell us, paranoia almost seems like a rational response.
But on the other hand, mind control is being taught more and more as a technique. The applications range from business to dating, but techniques such as NLP promise to make it easy for you to make people bend to your will through suggestion and other tactics of mental manipulation. Even hypnosis, hokey as it may sound, is making a comeback. The idea of having someone else completely under their power is so appealing to some people that they will do something as strange and outlandish as trying to hypnotize their target. It is really strange what some people will do for fun, but there it is.
I have for a long time wanted to study these methods of mind control because I have seen people do them, and would like to learn how to frustrate and defeat them. Business types regularly use tactics of NLP, where they will consciously use your words or emulate your body language to try to bring you over to their side. Political think tanks will try to steal the language of the other side and change its meaning to take its power away. Advertisers will tap into our hidden desires to make us want things which everyone knows that we do not need. All of this is mind control, and all of it is intentionally used to manipulate people.
