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.
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.

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.

It’s real. It’s a cognitive thing, relaxation. Trust was an issue for me.
My fear of hypnosis was thinking maybe I’d bark like a dog for a day and fought against it so took a bit of time.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is a form of advanced hypnosis. It is extensively used in sales and many other communication-based endeavors. Tony Robbins was trained in it and the Clinton brought him in for seminars occasionally. Obama was trained in it.
I hypnotize myself from a youtube video. Oh, it’s real.
You will feel very sleepy...
Hypnotized
by Fleetwood Mac
1974
It’s the same kind of story
That seems to come down from long ago
Two friends having coffee together
When something flies by their window
It might be out on that lawn
Which is wide, at least half of a playing field
Because there’s no explaining what your imagination
Can make you see and feel
Seems like a dream
They got me hypnotized
Now it’s not a meaningless question
To ask if they’ve been and gone
I remember a talk about North Carolina
And a strange, strange pond
You see the sides were like glass
In the thick of a forest without a road
And if any man’s hand ever made that land
Then I think it would’ve showed
That’s why it seems like a dream
Got me hypnotized
And I know that’s right
Seems like a dream
They got me hypnotized
They say there’s a place down in Mexico
Where a man can fly over mountains and hills
And he don’t need an airplane or some kind of engine
And he never will
Now you know it’s a meaningless question
To ask if those stories are right
‘Cause what matters most is the feeling
You get when you’re hypnotized
Seems like a dream
They got me hypnotized
Seems like a dream
They got me hypnotized
Seems like a dream
They got me hypnotized
Got me hypnotized
In society today where people no longer need to think, but just follow directions, they lose their ability to THINK. Using MapQuest when driving, using the cell phone as a calculator rather than math in your head....
This sets a person up to hypnosis.
During hypnosis, a person loses discernment and is highly suggestable. Trump Derangement Syndrome is just one of many examples.
An author Lauent Guyenot in a film about the 1968 assassination of RFK Sr, “Israel & The Assassinations of the Kennedy Brothers: A Documentary By Laurent Guyénot” notes evidence that Sirhan Sirhan was manipulatively hypnotized based on a technique abortively employed by the Israelis to get Yasser Arafat.

It is not a debate.
It is a scripted question and answer session.
Years ago, we had a party about thirty friends. We hired a hypnotist to hypnotize volunteers, which more than half agreed. It was silly stuff so this one gal, her name was Susan was told her name was no longer Susan, it was Linda and then said, “by the way Linda, you don’t have any clothes on” immediately she started covering her body with her hands, ran to the bathroom crying. The hypnotist woke her up and she was fine. For years afterwards, the other people that had been there, including myself would accidentally refer to her as Linda.
