Does mind control exist?

[mmatt9876]

You have obviously never say in front of a TV set showing adverts

Right. My mistake.

 

[mmatt9876]

Mind control has been going on for centries .

The difference in this century is that it much more sophisticated .

The study of human psychology has probably contributed to the science of influencing people.

 

[mmatt9876]

Are we discussing mind control in the sense of influencing peoples thoughts or are we discussing the paranoid delusional form of mind control?

 

[mmatt9876]

perhaps:
People who do not believe that mass mind control exists
are the ones whose minds have been controlled.
?

That is an interesting thought.

 

[mmatt9876]

Nah. Two reasons:

1) statistics. Hardly any people think it exists - and many of them are visiting psychiatrists and
2)Ockham's Razor

Mental illness is a horrible thing. Especially when you are delusional and paranoid.

True I understand that

Unfortunately some paranoid people have enemies

I guess anybody can have enemies.

Is it correct to say most people who believe in mind control have Schizophrenia?

It seems to me that people who believe in mind control tend to think it's the OTHER guy who's being controlled.

lack of definition of terms renders your comment into narcissistic diatribe.
this moves your position into "delusional".
is it logical to define conceptualized schizophrenic paradigms from a delusional perspective ?
probably not.

 

[mmatt9876]

I am sorry if I have made any errors in thinking. Can you guys help me correct them?

I was unsure about the definition of mind control. I would not classify the experiences of a person with Schizophrenia as delusions but rather as just their personal experiences.

Thanks for sharing. I did not know that.

I find it sad that so many people with mental illness believe they are under mind control. Maybe there is a way we can clear things up for them to relieve their paranoia.

I didn't spend a lot of time in the rubber padded ward but my observations and information told to me from staff there the mistrust of authority, paranoia and a few other aspects of their life style became exacerbated by self medication

Stand by for a lot more in America

When I was a younger man I was a bit paranoid about mind control.

Does mind control exist?
I doubt it.
There are times I wish I had it as my super power.

I am getting sleepy... Now when I snap my fingers I will fall asleep...

Nope doesn't work.

Just wondering who here thinks mass mind control exists?

I think it “exists.” Indoctrination is an example of it, and can be very powerful.

I think the word "control" is inappropriate. "Influence" would be more accurate.

A pedestrian can not "control" a car by jumping in front of it; he can "influence" its driver's control. Of course, the direction that that influence takes is not necessarily predictable.

I can "influence'"what you're thinking just by suggesting the word "influence" instead of "control" - but you might be thinking, "He's right! That's what I meant," or you might be thinking, "He's an idiot in every other thread, so I'll disregard what he says in this one."
