    I like how the patent app goes right back into one person shooting another. Whoever put that together knew what they were doing.

    This patent is borderline “there are 4 lights” shit. What’s to stop the ‘passcode’ from being “I sure am hungry, let’s get mcdonald’s” and pavloving the general population?

      That’s absolutely the point. The goal of most marketing is to worm into everyone’s brains so when they think of a need, the product is their default. This doubles down on that by trying to generate a need through action.

    I like to think there is a point where the average person would observe a certain level of bullshit and immediately escalate to extreme violence against their corporate overlords.

    I’m not saying that this patent is my level. I’m not saying this patent is not my level.

      I hope so. Too much corporate apologia going around.

        Won’t someone think of the shareholders?!? If they don’t get the profit they’re expecting, then they may not be able to afford that 6th home for their kids spring break! Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be for their kids? Have a heart you filthy peasant! Think of the children!

    If I remember correctly, US patents are protected for 20. So If they want to pull this of, they likely gonna do it in the next 10 years.

      Inventors of those patents are Robert L. Sweet and Alan B. Densky. Those names mean anything? I don’t know them and I don’t get the point you are trying to make…

        I think he is assuming it is a google patent, from the domain name.

      The program as viewed by the person’s unconscious mind acts to condition the person’s thought patterns in a manner which alters that person’s behavior in a positive way.

      (Emphasis mine). I’m pretty sure they mean subconscious mind. Not so sure an unconscious mind can view a video, since, you know… it’s unconscious… …

        Unconscious can have several meanings, it does not necessarily mean that someone is knocked out, it can mean that you perceive something not consciously, which is recorded in your subconscious. The subconscious is a place in your memory where impressions are stored, including those that you have not consciously perceived, but they can condition your behavior, your aversions or your preferences, without there being an objective cause or you really knowing why. This is what this subliminal manipulation takes advantage of. We are surrounded by these manipulations that remain engraved in us, in shopping in supermarkets, colors of packaging, location of items, even using product names as a generic synonym, like eg googling to search for something on the Internet. Worse is that it is also used in political slogans, influencing voters towards a certain ideology against any reason. Recognizing these techniques is the first step to combating them, although it is very difficult not to fall into this trap, despite knowing it. We are all Pavlov’s dogs in this game.

    If this ever gets implemented the amount of bricks being delivered through HQ windows would skyrocket.

    See, shit like this is why I pirate crap. Why in the world people use almost any streaming service is just beyond me.

    The only good ones are the independent services run by actual Youtubers like Nebula and the like. At least those ones help contribute directly to content creators.

    Who is dumb enough to just allow themselves to be manipulated, abused and taken for a ride in such a way?
