Really great tips, alot I wish I knew years ago . But we learn as we need to .
The point of subliminal advertising is really interesting. I did an experiment in photography/ art class in highschool with 2 different teachers (visual art / photography that didn't particularly like me and and always gave me low grades. I had heard about subliminal advertising and wondered if it really worked.
So I did 1 art piece and 1 photography piece where I hid messages that I thought would appeal to each teacher in my art work .
I laughed so hard when they both came back to me praising my work saying they weren't sure why but they were so drawn to the pieces . For the first time I got great marks . Yet I didn't put the same level of quality or care into them, so technically they weren't my best pieces.
It just proved to me that there was a personal issue why my grades were lower and that subliminal messages really do work .
I suppose I could have used that to my advantage after my little experiment, but that didn't feel ethically correct. I wanted my work to be based on my own merritt & creative expression. That felt like cheating and didn't sit right .
But it did teach me a valuable lesson to really try and pay attention and be aware that subliminal messaging is a real thing. Yet even being aware of it, you can't be on guard constantly .
So the logical conclusion was to not listen to subliminal recordings of people for self help ect that I didn't fully research or trust their motives. I avoided advertisements and commercials as much as possible and now try and be mindful of what or who I listen to on any social media platform . Musical lyrics are another tricky way of suggestive subconscious programming .
I still find myself enjoying a catchy tune only to stop and really pay attention to the lyrics and be a bit horrified by what I'm hearing .
I still try to precautionary measures against subconscious programming. Yet there are times even when we know it is a thing that we can still get tricked.
Interesting video and I'm really glad subliminal messages was brought up in the points!
