http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/20086 An interesting discussion [57:01] with two professors of philosophy and psychology on influencing and programming the unconscious mind. Especially with regard to art, literature, and imagination (with possible application to fantasising role-playing). Although I personally find their idea of alief to be reinforcing an artificial separation between the conscious and unconscious minds. Then again, I've always found reason and rationality to be overstated. Usually I find the conscious mind follows the unconscious, and most people will then rationalize this with their belief system.
