subliminal messages

 A sneaky technique, a clever one, a very distasteful one at that. This technique is called subliminal messaging, mostly used in the business world for advertisements, tv shows, and movies to lure people in. How you may ask, this how, these messages are insufficiently intense messages used to produce discrete sensation by influencing one's mental process or behavior. Many business find the subliminal messages to sell more product when using this technique. The biggest businesses to use this are soda companies, for example coca a cola, the shape of the bottle is deistically recognizable, with all the curves, it signifies the curves of a women. Amazons logo as well, the smiling shaped arrow pointing from A to Z to show that they have all of the products from A through Z. Although these a petty subliminal messages, there are subliminal messages that work your insecurities and mental health to make you buy the product. Social media is greatly drawn to subliminal messaging as well, ads or posts are created by influencers to give their fans or viewers a message. For example, an influencer advertising a product for weight loss, once you see that product once and it already is lodged in your mind it will start to appear more, making the viewers think "oh because that influencer is doing it i should to". These subliminal messages are making business richer while us viewers poorer.

What if: 100% of our brain

 Our brain is only being 10% used, there has been many articles of scientists trying to create a human with the brain capacity of 100%. With our brain being used at 100% it hasn't been proven to know what we would be capable of doing. What if our brain when used at 100% can read minds, learn 6 languages in one minute, read 5 books in an hour. These things are all things we think about, what if. Everyone wishes to be smarter, just like the next guy. It's not impossible to be smarter than the next guy, but it is impossible to use 100% of our brain. In order to use that much, one would have to have a bigger brain to start. You can't grow a bigger brain because your brain is there to fit your body. In comparison to a human brain and a whales brain, the whales brain is 5 times larger, but a whales body is what bigger which shows to need more processing power. Our body and mind is smaller, which is why we don't need that much processing power as a whale does. There is a movie...

The jersey devil: Baader Meinhof Phenomenon

 There are many different opinions confirming the myth the jersey devil, ghost stories of hunters in the woods of Pine Barrens, where the devil resides. As for me I believe that the once you enter those woods thinking about the The Jersey Devil, your mind will create the Jersey Devil. This is called the Baader Meinhof Phenomenon, this is when your mind plays tricks on you, it creates an illusion for you to see so you can think it is there. Your mind is very powerful, like many other myths such as ghost in your house, or the myth of Bigfoot. Your mind will create an illusion so you can believe it's true. The Baader phenomenon will back me up on my belief, it has been proven that once your mind is set on something it will see it more often. For example, when someone wants a red car really badly, it will be lodged in the back of your brain, even if you are not thinking about it, red cars will start to appear more often because as the phenomenon says, your mind creates a selective atte...
