I think people would pay more to be persuaded (brainwashed) than they would for other entertainment. if you ever hear the government, an advertisement or a religion talking like this get away, because it works. it’s used on you every day.
An example of persuasion.
You are sitting there “knowing” a beach front house is better than an in ground pool mostly because of lies in movies and on television. Remember that part because I’m about to influence you with some facts. It doesn’t take a long time either.
imagine you feel a warmth go over your entire body as it relaxes you from head to toe, your head is on a soft perfect little cloud where you float. you’re on a soft raft floating in a pool, completely relaxed, drifting around the pool as you drift off to sleep.
Which would you rather have? the cool clean safe relaxing in ground pool OR the ocean which has poisonous arsenic that causes vomiting all your lunch up eww, abdominal pain that makes it difficult to sleep or move, encephalopathy that gives you a severe headache and watery diarrhea that contains blood. And toxic mercury that causes muscle weakness making it difficult to move, poor coordination that could make you drop something heavy on your foot or stub your toe ouch, numbness in the hands and feet, skin rashes, memory problems like not being able to remember loved ones, trouble speaking, trouble hearing and trouble seeing, imagine you’re suddenly blind, that doesn’t feel good. And radioactive caesium which causes damage to dna, vomiting your stomach acid up damaging your teeth, nausea which means you can’t eat, headaches that make it difficult to think and low blood counts which cause sickening infections and throbbing cancers. And saltwater that prematurely ages you by drying out the skin, think of what it will be like to look in the mirror and you look 10 years older than you are. And sharks that bite off arms, legs, hands, feet and even kill, try picturing yourself reaching to grab a beer with a stump forgetting a shark bit it off, oh no. And jellyfish stings that cause intense pain. And used condoms on the beach left by the intravenous drug users which may or may not be infected, imagine having herpes or HIV. And used syringes on the beach that may or may not be infected with HIV, hepatitis, syphilis or other STDs that you step on accidentally pricking your foot. STD infection rates are also higher near the coasts, nationally 1 in 3 people have an STD but it’s even higher near the coasts, you wouldn’t want to have sex with a hooker would you? then why have sex with people with STDs? And undertow to suffocate you as you drown gasping for air breathing in water into your lungs. And flesh eating bacteria that causes an incurable painful death eating you alive. And parasites that attack your brain or genitals. And hurricanes which destroy everything you love and own, think of what it would be like to be all alone with nothing.with how expensive the beach is all that money wasted could be spent building an in ground pool that increases property value. remember when you hurt or kill yourself by going to the beach you also hurt those who love you.
An in ground pool sounds better than a beach front house right now doesn’t it?
It’s that easy to change your mind about anything.
