"It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."- a French guy who died from syphilis

is this correct @DLaurent? not so in my limited trout experience, but they do stay tend to in the same spot, i dunno if they are territorial or care about boulders though

I always thought they must have an interesting view of life, the trout in the stream, life constantly coming at you with bugs and snacks but if you stop pedalling against the flow you will be washed away, ultimately you would end up in the sea but trout are not salmon or eels they are either fresh or salt as far as i undertsnad not both.

also disappointed to know that heraclitus of the wise words about the river also said about the inevitability of war: "Πόλεμος πάντων μὲν πατήρ ἐστι πάντων δὲ βασιλεύς, καὶ τοὺς μὲν θεοὺς ἔδειξε τοὺς δὲ ἀνθρώπους, τοὺς μὲν δούλους ἐποίησε τοὺς δὲ ἐλευθέρους." = "War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods, and some men; some slaves and some free" so he was a bit of a warmonger bon mot originator, i wonder did he do anything or just come up with dinky memes?

I don't know about Trout really. You do get different kinds, Sea Trout, Rainbow, Brown etc but I couldn't say much about their behaviour as I've only ever caught 2 of them. Hooked another one but it jumped out the water and shed the hook.

I watched K-PAX last night and hypnosis played a pivotal role in the story. Personally, I wouldn't let myself be hypnotised. I'm not trusting enough to let someone try to assert that sort of control over me.

Plot twist: all communication is hypnosis.

You can hypnotise yourself to some degree by just reading some hypnotic scripts e.g. sus' favourite the NLP fast phobia cure.

hypnosis into future life progression is the most interesting use I've heard of.

Do you think you can do it with music or film? I have definitely felt hypnotized by some of Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films.

I don't see why not, in that someone hypnotising you in person is mostly audio and visual data.

i saw one of his in the cinema and you're right. coming out the cinema and walking across town at night afterwards felt strange in a good way. i felt like my perception was very clear. one of the best bits of going to the cinema i think, the first minutes after you cross the threshold out of the door.

i love it when the film colours the night you walk into

 

[luka]

you walk into the film not into the world, grand theft auto does this too. reckless freedoms

 

[shakahislop]

i've had it with a couple of slow arty things, tarkovsky and akerman, particularly the latter, where you walk out and the world seems comparatively really fast moving, loads of stuff going on everywhere on the street, your attention latches onto and takes in everything that happens

 

[luka]

it's a great feeling, walking into enchanted night, random events mean something, you have forced the subjective onto the randomly occuring world and made it cohere to narrative. wind in thy sails shipmates!

There is a great probability that we're all hypnotized at this very moment - there wouldn't be no way of knowing, no? Even traffic light is sort of primitive hypnosis if you really think about it. And that's just what three colors can do to you - so multiply that by billion and put it in the hands of an evil, odious mastermind.

 

[luka]

shaka hypnotised you. he made you dance the belly dance. the lure of the seductive east and all thy deny thyself

Indeed, especially as children are in different brain wave states, being the more hypnotisable the younger they are. Evolution has selected for extremely high suggestibility and culture is aware of this and restricts access to the paths of communication to children...until now when children can be being hypnotised by any through their multifarious devices.

Felt this way with Memoria, Tropical Malady, Uncle Boonmee, and First Reformed. I saw First Reformed with a friend and we were silent for the next 2 hours. The first three I think were the sort of hypnosis we're talking about, but the latter I think was more the knowledge of seeing a film so definitive, transcendental and attuned to the zeitgeist there was really nothing to say.
