Binaural beats are poorly understood. Poorly understood. It’s a shame Kim panic’d about this. In an adjacent section of the mind playground, left-right beats are used in EMDR and other therapies and DO engage (again) poorly understood syntheses of areas and functions of the brain/mind; and work only to assist the very difficult work by client with therapist. But that’s not binaural beats. There’s so much to learn about things. Panic about marketing hype is just a shame, really.

The binaural beats produce a hypnotic state and while in a hypnotic state you can be convinced of pretty much anything (i.e you’re on acid or your uncle touched you in the bathing suit area when you were two) Of course hypnotism is only effective if you believe it works to begin with. The mind is a playground.

Go do a youtube search for Virtual Haircut and grab some headphones. Probably a lot better than the digital drugs :)

So how do I mask this should I have to do a piss test for work?

What happened to that guy in New York that used to release nonsense press released to the gulible media? Anyone seen him around lately? This sounds like one of his.

From the I-Doser website:

“A simulated state can be achieved through the use of our advanced Binaural Methods.”

Jeez. It looks like they hired the guys from Firesign Theater to write their ad copy.

Dude, I can get telepathy and psychokinesis from listening to music? Well, now I totally have to go download some of these.

Yeah, these things really don’t work. I imagine most people who have them work are people who are having some wishful thinking or flashbacks.

I’m kind of tempted, because that’s the type of guy I am, to go up to our state house of legislator and speak out against binaural, telling the tragic story of how my brother got addicted to such a horrible, horrible drug. Then I’ll laugh and laugh and laugh once it’ll get banned.

If you think like that, you should see if you can pick up a copy of Taylor Caldwell's Devil's Advocate (pops)

I remember when this sort of article was satire. Of course the sounds alter your mental state. That’s why our ears are connected to our brains. The sound of your family singing “Happy Birthday” alters your mental state too, by making you ashamed of them and hungry for cake.

Seriously, if sounds are a real problem, then education is the solution. Parents should sit their children down and mime the dangers.

ROFLMAO! (Raucous blasts of laughter) Oh, jeez, is this like those dumb-as-posts ads in the back of comics, advertising subliminal seductions tapes (give this to the girl you want and she’ll play it and fall in love with you!) and other pathetic crap?

Hmmmm…maybe I can convince this person to buy some oceanfront property in New Mexico…

Is it true that if you play these binural beats backwards, they contain a message telling the listener to worship satan and commit suicide?
