HYPNOS
The Hypnotizable (approximately 65–75% of the population)
Origin: The term derives from the Latin «hypnos» (sleep) and the suffix «-oid» (form, kind, type).
Brief Description: Hypnoids are individuals connected to the collective hypnotron — a manipulated mental network that steers their emotions and beliefs without their conscious involvement.
Characteristics:
- People live in a mechanical reaction pattern: feeling → media → reaction → forgetting.
- Constantly consume information, but with minimal analysis.
- Language is loaded with system-internal thoughts and slogans, yet empty of inner reflection.
- They see, but do not observe. They hear, but do not listen.
Social Role:
- They feed on ideological hyperreality.
- They maintain the stability of the system, even when it is hollow inside.
SUBTYPES OF HYPNOS
- Hyper-Hypnos (10–15%) – highly susceptible to hypnosis.
- Drifting Hypnos (approximately 45–60%) – moderately susceptible to hypnosis.
HYPER-HYPNOS
Brief Description: Hyper-Hypnoids are individuals who are extremely vulnerable to mass hypnosis. They respond rapidly and completely to collective influences, without doubt or inner resistance. They are the most effective carriers and amplifiers of mass hypnosis.
Characteristics:
- Tendency toward fanaticism and blind obedience.
- Deep identification with the official narrative.
- Inclined to repeat, spread, and reinforce systemic messages.
- Emotional reactions toward those who think differently—often aggressive or hostile.
Social Role:
- The best tool and expression of deliberate mass hypnosis.
- They serve as the «guardians» of the collective, protecting the system from doubt.
DRIFTING HYPNOS
Brief Description: They sense that something is wrong but are unable to exit the hypnosis. When they begin to awaken, they often fall back under the influence of media and authority figures.
Characteristics: They doubt but do not act. They see, but remain silent.
They require an inner or external «call» to awaken.
Social Role:
- Will-less followers, controlled through fear.
- They understand that something is wrong, but the fear of standing out keeps them silent.
CLEERS
The Non-Hypnotizable (15–25% of the population)
Origin: Derived from the Latin word «clarus» («clear», «transparent»).
Brief Description: Cleers are not affected by the hypnotron and do not drift in a mental fog — they live in clarity of consciousness. Their presence is quiet, yet powerful.
Characteristics:
- They know how to move through both invisibility and visibility.
- Aware of systems, but do not identify with them.
- Choose silence more often than shouting.
Social Role:
- Their presence affects the space—they do not persuade, they resonate.
- They awaken only those who are ready.
(This typology does not offer absolute definitions but rather a framework for understanding the different layers of human psychology and consciousness in the era of mass phenomena.)
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND
Scientific research shows that human susceptibility to hypnosis is distributed approximately as follows:
- 10–15% of people are highly susceptible to hypnosis;
- 65–75% fall into the category of moderate hypnotizability;
- 15–20% are very resistant or completely unsusceptible to hypnosis.
Hypnotizability is a relatively stable personality trait that can remain unchanged for decades. It is measured using specialized tests such as the Stanford or Harvard Hypnotic Susceptibility Scales.
PSYCHOLOGICAL MASS HYPNOSIS
Signs of Mass Hypnosis:
- People do not think independently but blindly believe everything told to them by the media, authorities, government, or officials.
- Behavior, thoughts, and even identity are strongly influenced by collective norms.
- News, social media, and advertisements «program» people’s mindsets.
- Group pressure shapes individual decisions and perceptions—people follow the group’s opinion, even when it is clearly false.
- Independent thinking is replaced by a collective «truth».
