Hello, my name is Phoebe, and I am a female anthro cat. I am currently in college studying the liberal arts and history; I pride myself on being an analytical thinker, aware of the systems that govern society. And due to this knowledge, I can affirm that hypnosis is not a real phenomenon: at best, it is one of the many ways the masses are taken advantage of by charlatans - at worst, it is a pseudoscience which preys on placebos and ignorance. To prove this, I volunteered at a hypnosis show.
