Transcript (Auto translated can have spelling mistakes)

subliminal advice what is it actually subliminal advertising yes this is an idea a lot of people have uh back in the 50s there was an idea that so for example uh a a movie a film strip is 24 frames in 1 second that's how because all a film is is is pictures it's just photographs but if you take 24 photographs and you basically spread show them to a human being in serial uh format in one second 24 and one second the eye and the brain that creates the visual system and our visual perceptions perceives it as Mo as motion so in every second of film footage there are 24 pictures uh in video I think it's a little bit less but now of course we're in highdefinition video so it's a little bit more the frame rate's a little higher but the idea was wow so that means one picture is 124th of a second which they did studies and they showed that that's not perceptible to a human being or is it here's the idea what if in that 20 that sequence of 24 pictures I put in just one frame that says buy popcorn will a person subconsciously see it they won't consciously see it they won't go hey what was that did that say buy popcorn no because it was only up for 124 of a second but maybe subconsciously we will influence the person to buy popcorn and so they did they they they experimented with it uh some Cinemas would throw in Coca colola or buy popcorn or something like this to try and make more money um and yet they didn't actually it didn't work because it doesn't work we we now know that study after study after study after study has shown that it doesn't work you can affect people's perceptions by doing things in the their peripheral vision um but you can't really get them to act in a different way through things like this and so the idea of subliminal advertising died until the 1980s in America when the satanic Panic kicked off and uh everybody started freaking out that America was being taken over by satanists and heavy metal music but they're putting in subliminal messages they're doing back masking which was a technique the beedles pioneered where you take something you record it backwards and you insert that as a series of sort of nonsensical sounds in your recording and uh you know oh a boy killed himself and if you listen to the song of one of his favorite bands it says kill yourself backwards and they're putting in all the Satan is Lord and so of course because people were saying this some of those heavy metal groups started to do it because they knew that they would sell more records does it work no it doesn't I've listened to those songs that say uh kill yourself and um I'm still here so when when we talking about the satanic stuff is like you know maybe they could they put the prayers also along with the um songs mostly maybe you know I mean price yeah exactly but here's the thing if it worked then wouldn't the Christians be using it since they're especially the ones who are so big on converting every single person they encounter to their particular brand of protestantism of which there are over 500 variations so you know wouldn't you think if we knew it worked wouldn't we be using it wouldn't we be using it all the time M if I were a Christian Evangelical preacher with my own TV show trying to get money I would be putting in subliminal things of $1 thousand give me a $1,000 give me $1,000 right now all the time during my broadcast and if it worked I would have way more money but they don't do this because it doesn't work uh so so the and just to let you know I did I did an episode I haven't done one on subliminal advertising yet but I did do an episode about the satanic Panic number number 66 because I thought that was funny about the satanic Panic like yeah yeah which was crazy I mean it went on for 12 years it was really nuts almost 12 years it was like yeah yeah yeah maybe more and there's still people today who I mean you know they would burn I just love them they would burn there was a case where I can't remember where he was Indiana a preacher got together with his flock and
