I would encourage folks to look at the ads on this video and any they may see on TV to spot the hypnosis technique.

Here is how it works.

Objects move from the left—then they move from the right.

This confuses the brain and makes it more susceptible to “believing” whatever message follows.

It is most obvious in auto ads—cars driving in one direction, then another.

But—it is also done with moving graphics of any type.

These folks do not play fair.

TV is designed to program _you_.

It’s just more insidious creeping Diversity and Inclusion (must include both L-R and R-L).

I remember when these techniques were used in early 1950s and 60s advertisements. There was even a book written about them.

THE HIDDEN PERSUADERS by Vance Packard(1957)

I believe subtle hints in advertisements are still used.
