When they see something, they adapt to it as if it happened, even if it's on TV or the phone.

Your limbic system changes how you relate to people. Watching a show where a guy like you says something pro-gay, then gets the girl? Your limbic system now believes (a little more) that girls want you to be pro-gay.

Your reptilian brain reacts to urges and physical stimuli. Watching a show where a White guy says something "racist" and then gets beat up? Your reptilian brain now believes (a little bit more) that it's dangerous to be "racist."

If you watch a lot of TV and social media, your brain is being changed by it. No matter how much you know it.

But if you don't know it, then you just think these beliefs are yours, and always were.

This is why so many White people hate themselves, why parents troon out their own kids, why women believe more than ever that cheating is romantic and spiritual... because the shows make them feel that way, and they have never had the thought of "maybe my feelings aren't telling me the truth."

If you don't know that your feelings can be controlled, then anyone who can give you a feeling owns you. Not even like a slave. More like a robot. You would never even think to disobey, and you would never even know you're obeying.

They just show, you just feel, and then you just obey.

yeah I spelled vagus wrong I don't have time to change it you know what it means

True sure. I'm not sure why people aren't freaking the fuck over ads. Ads are targeted manipulation condensed into the shortest format possible. Even if you don't buy the product you are being molded in ways you can't even conceive. Ads should be made illegal. Watching ads should be considered self-harm.

If you believe the earth is a globe, you were already brainwashed by marketing, since globe earth is purely fiction, there is zero evidence for it in real life, yet almost 100% of people believe it, because they saw it on TV.

Does this mean that the boomer narrative that violent movies and video games make you more violent is true? For video games, does it depend on the game's realism?
What about books? Are they less likely to manipulate you on a primal level because it's just words and you need to use the intelligent part of your brain to process them?
What about highly stylized content like anime and manga? Would it influence you less than live action content?

...And asking the important questions now, do you believe that something like 2D lolicon content could turn you a real pedophile? As someone into 2D lolis (but not into real women in general let alone children) this is a topic I've thought a lot about and my personal conclusion is that if you're not a pedophile already at some level, 2D lolicon won't "turn" you into one, and if you are a pedophile, it will likely serve more as an ethical outlet for your urges than as a stimulant to do things in real life.

Yes, violent video games make you more violent, shooter games were invented by the military to train people to lose their inhibition on killing others, for that they work well, what most people do not know is that in wars often soldiers refused to kill other humans or they intentionally missed their shots, which the rulers did not like, so they searched for ways to improve that.

I wonder if its the actual hoe math.
