http://www.reversespeech.com << What I saw
Okay, a bit of backstory. I was messing around a Flash website, looking at things that would, hopefully, amuse me. Now, I came upon something that had lyrics to Queen's 'Another One Bites the Dust', and soon came upon a website after a few minutes.
The author of this website claims many things about reverse speech, that it is your unconcious thoughts, etc, etc.
Now, I have some questions I'd like to pose. Who here agrees with the aforementioned site? I heard things clearly in his backwards recordings... however, he had the words you were supposed to be looking for bolded right before the 'Download' button, so you really cannot tell if it is you REALLY hearing the 'message', or that your brain is fooling you into thinking that its there.
That, and he COULD have doctored them, though I didn't check, since I really... can't at the moment.
I browsed 'Commonly Asked Questions' under References. There it said listening to your own 'reversals' was ill-advised, saying it could cause psycological stress, and that listening to your family members' reversals could cause tension.
Now, what kind of stress is he talking about? Are you really figuring out 'secret' things about yourself, or manipulating the garbled message to be what you do (or possibly do not) want to hear?
He also proposes that you learn to speak backwards first, and has recordings of babies talking, and then reverses them. Do you think there is any validity to this claim?
Now, if this were true, how could this be used against you? Could it possibly take away personal freedoms?
...Should I drink less caffeine? ._.; I personally don't believe this, though it could be interesting.
