Poll: Don't think about it!

[L33tsauce_Marty]

Last Friday my chemistry teacher was telling us about a psychology test that she read about.

What you do is this: Remember what you did in the morning today. Let it sink in exactly step by step what you did. Now try not to imagine everything you did again, but without thinking about a polar bear.

Can you?

No, because you brought up the polar bear, and by telling myself not to think about it, I am inadvertently thinking about it.

End of thread?

Damn polar bear D:

Great, now I have bears in my head. But if I was to do this later, I may forget to put a polar bear in there.

The way I believe it works is because you are told not to think about a polar bear, you briefly think about it and it shows up.

But I spent the morning killing polar bears...

 

[orangebandguy]

Wow, I love Polar Bears. Damn it!

But seriously I do love them, the way they just don't give a crap about tearing faces off things.

You told me not to think about something and by trying not to think about a polar bear, I therefore think of a polar bear.

There is a thing in our college called the Game. Something along the lines of don't think about the word game. You fail if you do. Eventually someone brings up the Game in conversation (or someone did it on a presentation), makes you think about it and bang, you fail the game lol... i still can not understand it nor pay any attention to it lol so i often win.

Shit I lost the Game. Why did you do that?

EDIT: Oh, and you can only win the game by dying.

What if my morning involved a polar bear ?

 

[HT_Black]

Why, yes-- yes I can.

But only because I spent the entire morning asleep.

Also, what happens if you spent the morning thinking about polar bears? Wouldn't that result in a paradox?

Without ever thinking of the game?
