What would you want hypnosis to do for you?
i knew a dude once who used to toast to hypnosis and another dude who toasted to acupuncture. they both, however, toasted to each respective discipline as a cure for alcoholism…
…dunno that i could help from at least giggling after anticipating the hypnotist softly saying stuff like “alllriiiiiiiiiiiiiight, now you’re going to relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax every musclllllle”
i would snort and then have to just leave or else just play along for fun cuz perrhaps i think the reverence would be pretty well beat out of it by then. so as to let them get on with it, i’d excuse myself and go get a drink of water or something.

Coffee makes us yes men?
Australian researchers say a caffeine hit improves our ability to process information and increases the extent to which we listen to and take on board a persuasive message.
They tested this by quizzing people about their attitudes to voluntary euthanasia and abortion before and after either the equivalent of about two cups of coffee or a placebo.
They were also given a persuasive argument to read after having the caffeine.
The experiments showed that “caffeine increases persuasion through instigating systematic processing of the message”.
But caffeine also puts people in a better mood, which makes them more likely to agree with a message, the researchers say.
The research is posted on the Queensland University of Technology website and is submitted for publication in the European Journal of Social Psychology.
