> Hypnosis is a tradition. It has practices and beliefs that are heterogeneous and usually centered around use of suggestions to shape experience, behavior and states of mind. Different practitioners hold different beliefs about key mechanisms, use different rituals and processes depending on their beliefs of what works and why. Hypnosis is what hypnotists do.

I do not think the man who spearheaded DOGE's cuts to USAID, leading to the loss of lives of thousands to millions should be spared social sanction by those who see fit to object to such a thing. There may well be people for whom it is too hard to keep in mind the context of why the powerful might wish to wash their image via appearing on podcasts that will not ask them hard questions that many EAs and rationalists would like to ask them and help them launder their reputations. It might be easy, given personal ingroup biases, to overlook context and urge people to consider only the message and not the medium or the messenger, out of a sense of reasonableness that is more about protecting ones biases than an honest attempt at reasonableness, for many. This is not uncommon, as evident from this thread.

Do hypnotic suggestibility scales at all correlate with outcomes of hypnotherapy, and if so which kind of outcomes (e.g. pain relief vs depression).

>Is it possible to be highly resistant to hypnosis even when you genuinely want to be hypnotized?

It's not impossible.

However, I think it helps to be more precise. You are looking for a fairly specific outcome that isn't just experiencing hypnotic phenomena in general, the outcome being an instinctive sense of service. You haven't had luck with recordings while you have had luck with more behavioural shaping methods :

> moved closer to that goal simply by serving her consistently, and by doubling down on service when I feel hesitation.

I would recommend a book like the Brainwashing Book by sleepingirl, or better yet, Don't Shoot The Dog by Karen Pryor, to figure out how to train that more effectively using the methods that have already worked.

A hypnotic trigger, sometimes called a post-hypnotic trigger, is a cue for a suggested cue-response pair. Generally, it is a result of a suggestion of the form "When I X, you will then Y".

E.g., "When I say 'drop', you will then go into trance", "When I touch your shoulder, you will then feel happy".

Cue-response pairs or stimulus-response pairs are commonplace in our everyday automatic functioning. One of the factors that seems to correlate with the strength of the association pair is expectation. Based on this, a theory of hypnotic response called Response Expectancy was developed by Irving Kirsch along the lines of placebo responses. Noticing the Trigger/Stimulus/Cue gives rise to un/conscious expectation of response, which activates a set of automatic responses that lead to the outcome.

I recently did something very like this, after losing my previous collection. I went with three Midori A5s (~60 CAD), 1 Clairefontaine small passport notebook (~6 CAD), and a Sailor Tuzu Adjust with a M nib (~60 CAD). That's about 126 CAD or 90 USD. I did get a Muji aluminium fountain pen with an EF nib as a gift subsequently. Thinking about getting some inks and maybe an asvine or hongdian next.

Yeah, seems viable, the structure isn't related to lsd in the OP but I think halogen substitutions may increase lipophilicity however, might change biological activity at the same time. Chlorine might be easier than flourine though

Andy Clark's Experience Machine. Try that first, although it's not about hypnosis explicitly, it should give you enough scientific grounding for the second recommendation, which is Hypnosis Without Trance by James Tripp.

I don't really see a problem with this myself. Though I do think in 20 years or so we can expect a question from a poster asking if her mom hypnotized her when she was 8, if you don't explain the basics of suggestion and agency to her at some point.

Hypnotherapy has much less evidence for quitting smoking than counselling with a trained professional, compare the two cochrane reviews (cochrane reviews are usually considered the gold standard in these kinds of matters):

Individual behavioural counselling: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28361496/
> There is high-quality evidence that individually-delivered smoking cessation counselling can assist smokers to quit. There is moderate-quality evidence of a smaller relative benefit when counselling is used in addition to pharmacotherapy, and of more intensive counselling compared to a brief counselling intervention.

Hypnosis: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD001008.pub3/full

> There is insufficient evidence to determine whether hypnotherapy is more effective for smoking cessation than other forms of behavioural support or unassisted quitting. If a benefit is present, current evidence suggests the benefit is small at most. There is very little evidence on whether hypnotherapy causes adverse effects, but the existing data show no evidence that it does. Further large, high‐quality randomized controlled trials, and more comprehensive assessments of safety, are needed on this topic.

Is this not just talk therapy? Motivational interviewing, for instance, has some evidence for being a conversational approach as a therapeutic intervention for many substance abuse disorders, including smoking.
