this thread will be me trying to research and create a real cognito hazard or something as close to it as I can. I want it to be fairly compact (so at most a video like in, "The Ring") yet deliver profound and long-lasting effects when processed by the mind. Right now, I can think of a few things, like the effects of stimuli (colour pshyology, Bouba/kiki effect, infrasound ghost frequency uncanney valley effect) and actual messages/ideas like in memetics or general psychology stuff. This is all my own uneducated understanding. will think about it more and post what i thought of.

potential hazards. the first one can be annoying but only if you go through the steps for it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCollough_effect
>>14567 Do you want to control people or merely mindbreak yourself?
>>14569 You need to mindbreak yourself and survive it if you want to control others tho.
may reference these at some point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychological_effects >>14569 the ability to control people is related, for example NLP has some useful ideas which could help in the creation of a cognito hazard, but for me i just want to see how far one can go, the ideal being an actual SCP type cognito hazard such as a simple graphic which can effect the mind when it is seen. I am now realising i would have to make protection before making the hazard itself so thanks for helping with that conclusion.
>>14571 >I am now realising i would have to make protection before making the hazard itself so thanks for helping with that conclusion. Your welcome. Personally I learned how to create "blindspots" for myself. I can make images become hazy instinctively to avoid looking at them directly if I feel some bad influence emanating from them. This way I don't let my mind get infected nor I charge it energetically the wrong way either. Had to learn it, because you know... We are on a site full with weirdos that post their silly sigils that contain mind breaking servitors or demons. Cognito hazards are the same as poison gas. You can get a little "whiff" in some cases and know it's dangerous instantly then cover your nose fast and run away. You have to do the same with cognito hazards too. Once you know it's "bad news" you must change the direction of your focus fast and pretend you have never seen it and make sure to erase every trace of it from your mind fast. But these tips are against real nasty cognito hazards. Most just merely short circuits your mind and confuses you. Very few manages to overtake people fully and for a prolonged time. Thanks for the wiki link tho. Will serve as a nice reading material.
power is shutting off for a few hours, will be back https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earworm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memetics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meme >>14572 I think the mundane nature of what I am attempting will dull effects on myself if I know how it works, wont do magic stuff till i am ready.
i think the original story of a cognito hazard had the guy store it in parts and then present it to his victims, and there was some smart way were the detective presented it in his cell so he had no choice but to process it. idk, it was about a nazi mass killer.
>>14567 Indigo League 038 - Cyber Soldier Polygon Look up this Pokemon episode at your own risk. It's on archive.org in its original harmful version with no censor whatsoever. It caused serious effects in around 600 viewers when aired in Japan in the 90s. Some had permanent damage, supposedly.
>>14577 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Eox1ogr3SE This Simpsons ep makes far more sense after learning about this pokemon incident
>>14577 That's called epilepsy.
>>14579 That's a legit illness though. In Rome it was considered a sign from the gods. They didn't have cartoons to activate it or any modern media.
>>14569 Hypnosis to hypnotize others it's just auto-hypnosis in the same way. >It's just a attention and focus thing. It's same as meditation. Used for health and some medical problems. It can be dangerous yeah but depend, like having fear and just go bad trip. Regression therapy and visualization and sugestions can make fake memories you know. Brainwashing is not hypnosis, brainwash is a very method thing that yeah can use hypnosis. >manipulation, cohersive techniques, less nutrition to fuck your brain, isolation to fuck you more, no family or friend contact, dehumanization, attack on self morality ethics etc, yeah meditation-yoga-hypnosis techniques but focused on manipulation and group think making over independence, emotional dependence on group or boss-guru, crowd and group control, use of drugs, sexual abuse and making of traumatic experiences, torture, apocaliptic ideas or the idea of external danger world they destroy you and maybe you at the end do cult thing or bad things just to survive or gain favour of the boss or the guru Its more like a bussiness model used by religions, cults, woo-woo cults, fake business and maybe the military and para-military "services". >>14571 >NLP Better just study Hypnosis, NLP its more like a Hypnosis with old school (even for the time they created it) pseudoscience mix up. Some ideas of NLP just work bacause of hypnosis (some techniques are know to work by science-hypnotherapy back in time so its more like a purple hat therapy sometimes just taking science hypnosis and adding bizarre self theories not proved with something proved with other semantics just to sound cool) and the use belief or placebo on the pure system old theories of NLP yeah, it's like a magick system at this point

>>14582 by definition not a cognito hazard just a regular one.
Ok, so I havent had the time (or rather the self control) to think deeply on it, but i have some interesting and or useful properties (?) for the thing. These will rely on some context or embedded lore of the hazard (idk how to define stuff). one is the property of "reciprocal awareness" where awareness of a thing causes it to in turn become as aware of you as you are of it. I believe i asked about this already in the questions thread, and its some kind of interaction/contact. similarly there is the property of activating once someone processes the thing (?). again, idk what i am trying to say but it has to do with fictional stories breaking the forth wall, but that may be another thing.
might be able to clear some stuff up for myself here. so there can be a "narrative" which can be the sum of a few things. for example, a memetic earworm phrase or poem presented in a certain vibe, maybe a tailored background leveraging physiological mechanisms. the other part of it are the mechanical factors. the best example i can think of is how flashing lights can induce seizures or less harmfully induce a trance/entrain the brain to a frequency. so going in i think there will be the narrative design and the way it is presented, which probably sounds like a mid take but its one i can stand on confidently.
>>14611 clarifying: >memetic earworm phrase probably written over a graphic background. this made me think of the effect where a word such as red is written in blue ink, causing cognitive delay. just a side tangent

idk your stance on AI but I basically use it for finding and presenting information. these were interesting, will have to verify the info.
just remembered an idea that plays on fear of the unknown, basically the concept that there is something always outside of your vision watching you, if you turn around it goes away, and it avoids mirrors. thinking of mirrors made me think of the doppelganger concept, the you in the mirror is actually evil and moves on its own when you look away.
the carrot and stick part of the packet, it must exploit some universal strong drive/value. an example of this exploit would be the "reply/repost or your mother dies in her sleep tonight" type of post, or a chain letter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_letter or The Ring, where you must pass on the curse to survive it. this is also what is discussed in the pic here >>14568 when the receiver processes the information it must trigger various motivations. A picture of an attractive person or the phrase "you are about to die, pay attention". ngl a lot of this is similar to marketing
>>14792 >ngl a lot of this is similar to marketing Ye. Welcome to the 21st century m8
1. introduction to the concept (this involves things like presentation to grab attention and shape perception in the desired way). Once aware of the concept, it becomes real so you can not undo it easily. 2. interaction and additional learning make it even more real or enhance the effects. or something in general occurs as a result of increased connection to the concept packet, perhaps like a zip tie or punji stick trap. self fulfilling prophecy feedback loops. 3. event horizon where the target is pulled entirely into the hazard and it becomes fully real, enough to move into real occult stuff and actually function as a scp level hazard via chaos magic and quantum mechanics. fully manifested, brain rewired.
>>14802 >Once aware of the concept, it becomes real so you can not undo it easily. by this I meant that this is a part of the concept being introduced, a property that you introduce alongside the concept. real in warp/psychic plane, real in their mind.
I remember a story of a witch that cursed a man with a mirror. basically, she dared him to stare into it daily and he eventually messed up how he saw his own face, like he forgot it or something, all from mere suggestion and habit. a similar concept is Australian aboriginal bone pointing which induces a placebo effect heart attack. belief is a crucial aspect
curious as to what insights can be gained from psychedelic experiences, especially the visuals, but also ideas like "the waiting room" and similar archetypes found in dmt. are they useful mechanisms outside of the trip?

basic concept, should be harmless, mostly because i am not at that level yet but also I wouldnt post such a thing lightly. uses self reference effect for memory and attention, angular and red background for arousal/threat detection, left-right eye movement for encoding inspired by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_movement_desensitization_and_reprocessing words are blue which could create contrast and further attention drawing, but also calmness
>>15480 also further willing engagement creates subconscious consent or the implication/presupposition of it (the manual eye movement)

>>15480 added impossible shape, may bolster
>>15480 >>15481 spoiler that shit next time. It may have affected me while I was trying to hide it
>>15483 I am not that good, I knew it wouldnt effect anyone because I had no real intended effect. or could the ambiguity itself be a mechanism? sorry if it did anything though
>>15484 It was probably a placebo caused by the tension of trying to hide it without seeing it. I disassociated then noticed strong tingling in my eyeballs.
>>15485 yeah, that gives me ideas too, using ambiguity. excuse to be lazy as well lol
>Look at my image! <No This is too easy to counter. Make some sexy ladies with mind breaking images attached to their body parts.
>>15504 >Post porn No. In theory the image would be presented to someone unaware of its nature. Curiousity and the design itself create interaction

>>15596 Wanting to make a chad esoteric meme eh?
>>15715 I want to compress and deliver as much data as possible via the internet in the form of a short video or image that has such an effect that someone familiar with the scp wiki would consider it a cognito hazard. delivered to the human mind, that is.
>>15504 Isn't porn already full of sigils? >>15735 You're trying to make a blipvert for soap?
>>15596 >>15736 I meant sexy ladies like pin-up girls and not hardcore pornography. You pervs Something that makes people notice and stick their gaze to it. Like that rumor how some ads have subliminal messages related to sex in it. It makes people focus on it by instinct. >Isn't porn already full of sigils?

another thing i found interesting was reading someones post that looked like they had brain damage, and then wondering if i was having a stroke until i carefully went over it and confirmed it was incoherent (also others voiced the same response).
>>16386 Can you post an example?
>>16387 I dont have the post right now but its basically all messed up grammar and words in the wrong order to the point that you can tell something is wrong yet still recognise some coherent direction or point.

There are actual ways you can word sentences they can cause hypnosis or other adverse effects for the reader, but I heard about those tricks very long ago.
