It's kinda fascinating because you have to have the right kinda brain to be susceptible to hypnosis. Most people just Aren't. That's why derren brown puts hundreds of people through some sort of testing before he gets around to hypnotising them. It doesn't work on everyone no matter how fast you swing the watch in front of their face.

Also it's very much a spectrum, some people are more susceptible than others

I wouldn't go that far, although I did like his joke about how 50 years ago a bunch of white men with clubs chasing a black man was a lynch mob and today it was a golf tournament.

Manning was definitely a better person than Glinner though. It's a low bar, mind, but at least Manning said he wouldn't have played a BNP rally while Glinner's out there begging every LGBT hate group for a platform.

My understanding was that it works by allowing a person a rationale for exploring a part of themselves that they for whatever reason do not feel able to explore under normal conditions, by presenting that part as being external, caused by the hypnosis, so it isn't really "them" doing it, and so it doesn't reflect on their "real self" what they do while under the alternate persona.

This would presumably necessitate believing on some level that hypnosis is "real" in the sense that it represents a true external force capable of compelling you to do things, and having a desire to do that thing on some level anyway. Situational pretexts like being in a room full of people doing the same thing can also help, or being on stage where everyone is expecting you to act a bit weird.

I would expect the main crossover would be with people who are susceptible to stuff like mass religious mania, speaking in tongues etc, or who believe their cult leader has magical powers. And also people who do things like acting, or other kinds of performance where there is the concept of the "reality of the stage" or however you think of it, the idea that there are assigned places and conditions wherein a person can behave bizzarely and everyone goes along with it.

There's an old book out there, somewhere, about the concept of games and how they operate on a collective suspension of disbelief, and that shares an element with things like theater. I think hypnosis is a form of that.

The fact that even those hate groups think he makes them look bad and want nothing to do with him is very funny. Although apparently the Unherd/GBNews crew still think he's cool, since Andrew Doyle put out an article complaining about their Fringe show getting cancelled.

Was he the guy that did a routine about how he was going to be become something like (extremely nasty) the chief oval office kicker-inner. Heard it on the small hours of student radio way back and have never been more :stare:

Maybe there's another guy in the same field that it could have been, like how you might mistake Rodney Rude for Kevin Bloody Wilson

Edit: apparently actually Dudley Moore and Peter Cooke, jesus. dj probably playing some album called 'aural atrocities volume 3'

Speaking of flying helmets, at the start of the WWII Battle of Britain Greatest Generation there were still airmen being sent up in Chubby style leatherhead hats


They're better than nothing, but don't do you a great deal of good if you go into a spin and start bashing your head off of the acrylic canopies repeatedly, so by the 1950s the headgear had been replaced with the multi-padded Mk2A 'bone dome' helmet


Who gave Fighter Command the idea that multiple alternating layers of padding around the sides and back of your head could stop you mashing your brains against the side of your own plane by sudden deceleration?
At least in part it was

BBC are helpfully reporting for any bigots interested in attending that Linehan's "comedy" event is un-cancelled and now has a new venue.

For some reason they aren't confirming precisely where that venue is. Perhaps they're concerned about people standing outside with homemade "down with this sort of thing" signs.
