    UF217: Hypnosis Everyone knows that if you really want to mesmerize someone, you’d better have a audacious showbiz tuxedo and a pretty dark black Van Dyke goatee. And a cape, and a top hat, probably. Also a “mesmerizing” spiral coin, or a pendulous pocket watch. “YOU ARE GETTING VERY SLEEPY.” Actually it turns out there’s something to hypnosis, but there’s two avenues: there is the “stage hypnotism” that showmen and side-show acts perform, which is horseshit, then there’s the “might be something

The passage essentially argues that equality creates inequality. “Colorblindness” in terms of race simply means that in the case where a white man and a black man were both applying for the
