Crazy?

Interesting.
Recallone says he is "not committed one way or another," and Sebring comes back at him with "It's understandable why you are so enamored with Manson."

Journalist background, Sebring?

People are told what to think, not how to think.
The result? A follower.
I think Recallone was offering an opportunity to see HOW we think, if we are capable of detaching long enough from WHAT we think, to see that we're conditioned with beliefs that may or may not hold water.


I wasn't there, so I cannot say for certain that this is all fact.
I have not been to prison, so I don't know an institutionalized perspective.
Yet I do know what it is to influence others, and to be influenced. I do know what it is to intentionally hurt someone, and to be intentionally hurt by someone.
No judgment either way, from me.


My unconditional observation is that Manson doesn't need to be paroled, he's already free.

The interviews, if viewed from an objective, neutral position, can pose the question, " Who are the truly imprisoned? "
I don't know that the average hypnotized mind even caught that, it isn't easy to do so, while immersed in conditioned beliefs.

I wonder if people feel some sort of psychological vulnerability when they contemplate being without belief.
As if they must adhere to one way of thinking or another, in order to feel as if they are in control, or have a valid position in this life due to falsely identifying with an opinion that was influenced upon them..

It appears that people feel they have to choose a side that is offered, followed by a sort of unconscious righteousness in their choosing, even though they have only actually bought into the game.

Thank you Recallone, for bringing an interesting social experiment to the table.
