How to Hypnotize a Person

B.F. Skinner used a game in which two students would agree with each other's opinions and then disagree when they were asked to come back. The effectiveness was astounding, he says; even if the student sitting in chair A was rather inarticulate, the fact that the group said ever agreed with everything he said made him extremely expressive. So you see we are under this tremendous social pressure, because talking with each other is our principal means of communication,. And so more and more it hypnotizes us.
