All the talk about whether Joe Biden can stand for the "debate"
(How can you debate another if you're not allowed to talk to the other ?)
leads me to wonder and question whether hypnotism might be a way to make a zombie appear alive with a brain.
IS hypnotism a valid science, or what?
. . . . . and doesn't a subject need to be of a particular mind ?
Can just anyone be hypnotized ?
Not everyone can be hypnotized.
It is real, though......................

Interesting theory.
I had imagined they were prepping him with lots of practice sessions, using a lot of repetition and even quizzing him on answers to see if they can give him practice answering something unexpected or not in order.
But aside from the fact that I have been for years half serious/half jesting for years that they are dosing Joe on adderall (and the media has only recently started to catch on), I think your theory has merits. I wouldn’t call it hypnotism per se, but inducing a trance, or altering his mental state so that he is more lucid.
It’s real but you can’t hypnotize someone who is comatose, or in this case, a vegetable.

I’ve done some stage hand work for a hypnotist and saw the show a couple or a few times but never could pin it down.
Biden already did, so no-loss/no-foul.
You’ve never met my ex or her 5 ex or her other 4 ex husband’s. Yes, hypnosis is real.
The San Diego VA uses hypnotism, in the same therapist’s office where the “coexist” poster is hanging on her wall.
Hypnotism is a valid scientific treatment.
It has its limitations.
It is potentially very dangerous.
I say that having been trained in both clinical and stage hypnotism. I no longer use clinical hypnotism and have never used stage hypnotism, even though I trained to understand how it works.
If I were to write a book on the strange events that happened when I was using hypnosis, it would qualify as a horror story.
No offense, but after I recovered from my LSD hippie daze, I have never allowed myself to get mindless . . . not drunk nor high nor whatever . . . . I don't let go, anymore.

There is carnival hypnotism and there is medical hypnotism. Some carnival-type practitioners are good and can hypnotize people. A teenage friend said she was at a fair and the school's macho athlete was on stage, and was hypnotized to nurse a 'baby' (doll). So he looked around cautiously and slipped the doll under his shirt. I was skeptical and the young lady kept saying "HE would NEVER do that! NEVER!" Others have similar stories.
I've been told that you could never use hypnosis to make someone do something they would otherwise not do. Back to the example of the teenage macho man, he apparently wouldn't withhold food from a hungry baby, and yet he accepted the false reality that he could physically nurse a child.
Medical hypnotism is more structured in the study and implementation of the technique. Not everyone can be hypnotized - a common phrase I've heard is, 'you have to be suggestible to be hypnotized.'
Because Biden is drugged, he would likely be suggestible and therefore could be hypnotized. However, he would experience the same cognitive issues with speaking coherently, maintaining his place in a conversation, forgetting and transposing information and yelling about 'dog faced pony soldiers' etc. A hypnotist could not make Joe function cognitively any better than he (doesn't) function now.
How about just inviting some demons in?

That would be more effective (and evil) than just creating a state of suggestibility. Demonology is a wild field, and while I tend to be super skeptical about all things supernatural, the bible certainly supports it. A powerful demon could answer debate question with a great deal of guile and even give him the appearance of a charisma. ‘Hypnosis’ could be used to open him up to a demon by suggesting to him that the demon is actually good.

Thank you . . . I appreciate that reply.
eCan you give an example of a strange event?
