Consideration about contemporary psychology 2003.6.X First appearance

Really,it was fear…I felt like that the spine became cold.

I wonder if human knowledge came until here….

When I was still naive,I felt the same fear also when I had read novel of Dostoevsky in the first time.

Speaking of Dostoevsky,
Although there are many people who imagine a difficult book that personage will read,I also truly think that it would be good if that was the right case.
But it is not so.
The first thing I thought when I had read a series of novels by Dostoevsky is that "hey hey hey,is it okay to sell such a goods? ".
It is as if a criminal handbook.
I thought that If people who are planning bad things has read Dostoevsky,It will becomes very terrible situation.
In short,In other words,Because if know that what is human beings until the limit,We'll become can manipulate human beings.
I became fearful due to felt it also in contemporary psychology.

Contemporary psychology is unraveling the mystery of perception one after another.
"How if do to make human become delighted" "How if do to make the human being angry" "How if do to make human become sadness" "How if do to make human become fun" In short,The mystery of emotions.
Six perception in Buddhism's theory of perception = eye,ear,nose,tongue,body,consciousness….
The mystery of "How If stimulate those part,what will happen to humans".
Contemporary psychology is revealing them more and more.
Speaking of what is scary of that things,
As same what I felt when I had read Dostoevsky's novel,Because if we use those knowledge,we will be possible to manipulate humans.

It is already starting to be used,Until a little while ago,
Even on citizen level, There were the SF Commercial Law or the Afflatus Commercial law,And,There were mind control etc. by Emerging religion or self-development seminar.
In recently,Also in the military,
When they want to obtain information from prisoners of war,
It seems to add torture effectively using techniques of contemporary psychology rather than immoderately condemn them as it used to be.
Terrible.

I have received consultation that I'm in trouble because of mother can not stop pachinko even lost 10 million yen by pachinko.
Modern pachinko parlor also has created pachinko addiction patients by releasing drugs into the customer's brain,using almost artistic psychology techniques by color and sound or chair spacing etc..
Probably,The acquaintance's mother still has go to the pachinko parlor.
Even if I hand over Dostoevsky's "The gambler" to person on such state,She will never read it.
But surely the pachinko machine developers should have read it.
Terrible horrible….

Although I have experience that talked with 50's person who are familiar with psychology, It seems that all the Japanese were naive before the 1970's due to Knowledge of psychology itself has not came into Japan.

But in modern times,Both scholars and businessmen,Both religious groups and gigolos,Everybody with the initiative has the knowledge of psychology.

From now on. Everyone may be necessary to hold introduction of psychology for not be deceived also for protect the loved one.

A wicked person despises knowledge,
A simple person admires knowledge,
Just wise person uses knowledge.
In short,knowledge itself will not teach own usage.
                                            Philosopher Francis Bacon
