bobcrowproductions.com/2010/09/the-mind-and-its-modes/ >Research has shown that the alpha mode is an ideal state for learning. In alpha the mind is sharp and it is very receptive to suggestions and ideas and here is where we have our epiphanies. It’s in the alpha mode where our thoughts and concepts come together.
uoflife.com/epicenter/TV.HTM >One of the reasons that the mind slips into alpha mode while watching television is due to the lack of eye movement while watching television. Because most television screens are relatively small, very little eye movement is required to absorb all of the images on the screen. There is a direct correlation between eye movement and thought stimulation.
Fascinating Side note: I believe that a person can actually stimulate their left prefrontal cortex by practicing rapid eye movement while listening to music. The more I practice these rapid eye movements, the more I sense a dull magnetic feeling come over my left brain. Even Weirder, I can make it move…
You do realize that alpha mode is where we learn? Meaning watching propaganda is bad, but watching facts/learning shows is good.
It's not brainwashing intentionally, although some content is likely chosen with knowledge of the brainwash effect.
You still shouldn't watch TV though
Jackson Gomez
And no you can't make your brain move dipshit. Too many useful idiots on Holla Forums these days, not that we don't appreciate your aid in the movement but come on. The brain doesn't move.
Kayden Russell
weird… my eyes never stop moving… I am tarded
Charles Morales
I'm not saying that. I'm saying it definitely feels like I can move where the highest activity is.
Luke Green
Article confirmed for written by a retard. It's trance-like not trans-like.
Adrian Ortiz
Not necessarily user. You can achieve alpha state purely through thought, but concentration physically manifests as still eyes in part so it makes sense. If you want to study binaural audio is alleged to be able to get you to alpha levels.
That's probably placebo, but good on ya.
Leo Hernandez
Probably placebo effect. You think you can move it hard enough or you're feeling so much sensory 'white noise' that in trying to make sense of the sensation you interpret it as moving the activity. Your eyes are always moving due to saccade reflexes. Look them up to understand your optics a little better.

Talmudvision is very very bad for nationalism in mixed race countries.
Cameron Sullivan
Watching TV is fine in moderation, just don't watch crap. You'd have to be pretty dumb to fall for advertisements and brainwashing anyways.
Michael Gomez
Do online video have the same effect?
Daniel Sanchez
Reading must be the same, I get all my 'epiphany moments' and good ideas when reading, but that has lots of eye movement obviously, but not rapid.
Jordan Butler
I watched the tv a bunch growing up since my family was never home and I was basically always a racist/mean/fascist leaning person
guess it didnt work on me
maybe it was because I went to a multiracial school

It was not a mistake

You might have brain damage and be suffering from nystagmus.

ok
Thomas Edwards
Is "alpha mode" the name for the mental state of people binge-reading TV Tropes?
Adrian Foster
No, that's called autism.
Matthew Parker
The real lesson to learn from this is to be careful what you put in your mind. Browsing image boards can be just as harmful if you're looking at boards like Holla Forums, Holla Forums, or Holla Forums
Jaxson Thomas
Wait, since when is a sharp mind one which is very susceptible to suggestion? That sounds like a dull and weak mind to me.
Jace White
Look up doublespeak.
Isaac Lopez
Maybe high comprehension but low criticism.
Kayden Bell
Rapid eye movement was gamma or beta mode. It's the mode you also enter when you dream. Brainwaves sound like pseudoscience but they are real but I am not sure if you can really influence them. On a pseudoscientific note when I bring my forehead close to another persons forehead I feel a kind of pressure. I guess magnetic feeling describes it too. Dunno what it is other people don't have it. Might be my autism

Alexander Morgan
Unrelated to the brainwashing bit but wouldn't this be really helpful for educational purposes? Put all your kids in trance mode then teach them algebra, etc. Kinda flies in the face of the whole "active learning" kick teachers are on right now.
Joshua Sanders
Pushing down on me? Pressing down on you? No man ask for.

Fabricated news is the most potent form of TV mind control.
Have watched selective shows online for years, there are no advertisements.

Hunter Adams
Why I specified not watching propaganda. When we are on Holla Forums I think we can all agree that everyone who posts here knows the difference between facts and (((facts)))

Never point a meme gun at a mind unless you wish to destroy it.
A TV is a meme gun.

It's not you, I experience that too when I'm close to someone else's forehead.

Benjamin Ortiz
I don't need to role play being autistic
Kayden Thompson
I was about to say this, this is a field we could use more study in. Custom edits of audiobooks with low volume beats in the background could be useful, or maybe researching if there's a particular brainwave pattern that associates with focusing on exercise for better gains and whatnot.
Matthew Gutierrez
That's because of morphic fields.
Aaron Howard
Am I the only one here who abstains from TV not because it's bad for you, but because usually everything on it is pretty shit and/or boring?
Robert Martinez
OP, you retard…What tv does is put you into a, LOWER state of consciousness. Beta or even Theta.
Kevin Cook
No, your parents weren't joking when they said the jewbox made you stupid. It's full of the worst [current year] propaganda. Movies are even worse.
Noah Lopez
This. I like watching KoTH reruns, and that's about it.
Nicholas Cook
But user, that's exactly what we need!
Kevin Lewis
probably
Sebastian Jones
Don't wanna derail, I know all the edgy 'y-gen' kids are weened off television. But before you go all high-and-mighty how red-pilled you are, someone should really start looking into the effects of sitting glued to the interwebs and shitposting 12-hours a day. I have a feeling it might not be pleasant.
Camden Edwards
An Alpha state of mind while watching the propaganda machine isn't of any good to you.
