Ordinary skeptics are not credulous or gullible. They don't take things on trust, but must see the evidence before believing. Ordinary skeptics doubt the miraculous claims of religions, the claims of alien abductions, the claims of psychoanalysis, etc.
Your second point:
http://www.skepdic.com/hypnosis.html
Hypnosis is a process involving a hypnotist and a subject who agrees to be hypnotized. Being hypnotized is usually characterized by (a) intense concentration, (b) extreme relaxation, and (c) high suggestibility.
The common view of hypnosis is that it is a trance-like altered state of consciousness. Many who accept this view also believe that hypnosis is a way of accessing an unconscious mind full of repressed memories, multiple personalities,mystical insights, or memories of past lives. This view of hypnosis as an altered state and gateway to occult knowledge about the self and the universe is considered a myth by many psychologists. |
No need to insult me troutman.
Getting information from a site with the word skeptic invalidates your point to a certain extent because the whole premise of the site is to disbelief. For example, I'm sure you would have issues if i sent you a link from the psychic association of america supporting phychics used in an investigation..
Considering all of your posts on this thread are actually from other sites, do u have any rational thoughts of your own that aren't copied and pasted from another site? (since you started the insults)
Please answer the question. Is hypnosis a valid investigative tool?
