Shannon how can I convince someone of subliminals?

[Shannon]

My friend's argument is that he read in his psychology class that Subliminals don't work.

I know they work but I want to prove this to him so he starts buyingyour products.

Shannon can you please explain how your subliminals work?

I remember reading something a big post from shannon that explained it quite well but i cant find it.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for my products.

Go ask him... How long was it a "scientifically known fact" that the Earth is flat? Or that heavier than air flight is impossible? Or that going to the moon is impossible? Or that communication around the world in less than a second is impossible? Or that machines thinking is impossible? Or that the Earth is the center of the solar system? Or any of a thousand other "facts" that have been dis-proven over the centuries, after the "experts" stated that they were true?

If you look at the history of science, you will see this pattern:

X is accepted as a fact.

Someone comes along and shows that X is false.

Science first ignores them, then laughs at them (discredit), then attacks them (usually destroys their career), and then X is discarded as false and their work is accepted - usually after it is too late for them to benefit from it.

The science of Psychology as a whole does not believe that subliminals work, even though there are plenty of studies that show that they do, and plenty of evidence otherwise that shows that they do as well. The key, as I have said before, is that they must be scripted properly, built properly and used properly. Not many people in the world know how to do all three of those things, if they know how to do any of them.

Psychology's current position on subliminals not working primarily boils down to two things. First, the subconscious is not really well enough understood for experiments to be crafted that make sense or to have the results be understood correctly, and second, there is a vested interest at play in "not believing that subliminals work". You would laugh at a lot of the experiments that have been done that "prove" that subliminals don't work. Many of them are relatively obvious efforts to prove it doesn't work instead of find the truth, and many of them are so badly crafted that even a non-scientist could see the flaws in them.

Over time, probably the next few decades, this will change and subliminals will be accepted and even become mainstream. But at the current time, the only thing you are going to be able to do is suggest one of our free programs to him. If he's interested he'll try it; if he's not, he won't. Proving it to him is up to him, not you. As has been said, some people are open to the idea, and some are not.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
