Flip the Script

Tweet

It's too easy to mimick television personas that may or may not genuinely exist. Really, with the way that the psyche seems to function, if the persona did not exist before becoming a script for a drama, it did afterwards. It does now. The psyche, unlike a physical structure, is a lot more malleable and vulnerable to linguistic assault. Just the right phrase, whispered in just the right way, can send your train of thought on a completely different route. One that you may or may not already be aware of. What about when you dont even know the language? Or rather, when there is no language. It's one thing to build up a distorted respect for an archetype via fictional or even documental means, but what about those subtle tones that play in the background? You might not always notice them, as they can blend in with the music, but if you really listen, some sounds are a bit too precise..too measured. Ivan Pavlov inspired, hell, he created the prototype for this technique. His approach was more along the lines of dogs and natural responses, but it is very much a basic framework. He would strike a tuning fork as they were eating until they had been given enough time to correlate the sound of the fork to the taste of their food. Then, he would remove the food from the scenario, strike the tuning fork, and the dogs would salivate. If such a subtle correlation can be created within our canine counterparts, what keeps it from blossoming into a nation--if not World--wide practice to train the standard into a population?
