Subliminal Learning Thru the PC?

Posted by Cliff on from the osmosis-jones-and-the-last-monitor dept.

dieckert_heath asks: "I spend so much time in front of the PC, I recently started wondering if there was a way to learn what interests me (cisco routers and networking in general) via subliminal messages flashed on my PC. Anyone done anything like this?" Good idea! I wonder why no one hasn't thought of it, until now?

    Subliminal messages are a fun, safe way to make learning easy! Imagine the incredible advances that would be possible if this technology were made available to the consumer.

    All hail Bill Gates, our benevolent leader.

    Origionally.. I was interested in the case mods that most Linux uses do to their boxes, but what really impressed me and my Windows using freinds, was the tremendous up-times that Linux users have.

    I spent so much time looking at my Organic Chemistry text books that I thought it would be interesting to see if I could learn some of it subliminally. It probably would have worked better if I wasn't drunk at the time.

      I tried it too, but my subconscious can't read.

    It exists as an Xscreensaver module called xsublim.

    We used it to program a friend to randomly lick their keyboard.

    This is a real program, written by Greg Knauss, of Suck.com fame.

    I used to think that there was something intrinsically interesting about all those pr0n sites that I visited.

    That is, until I found out the ugly truth: that they were flimsy front organizations displaying subliminal messages about computer technology, the OSI layer model, router configuration, and other lurid topics.

    You can imagine that I was simply outraged at having been used in this way.

    I thought I really wanted Britney in the worst way, when, all along, it was really just her routers that formed the basis of her great attraction.

    I don't think this is quite the same thing as the poster asked for.

    However, binaural beats are cool to play with. There's a lot of discussion about this somethines on the alt.dreams.lucid newsgroup.

    If you want to try "brainwave" stuff, check out either Cool Edit from Syntrillium software (Windows) or use the open source program sbagen. The latter is pretty cool, and I have hopes for it, but it's not nearly as easy to work with as Cool Edit.

    Can't say the brainwave sync stuff has done much for me except help me fall asleep more easily. Of course, I haven't been a diehard user, so I'm no authority.
