Have you ever sat around a campfire? The television only emulates the ancient hypnotic flickering that our ancestors evolved to become addicted to.
We exist because they huddled around the protection of fire.

It is a beautiful video .
Deeply philosophical too.
Bjork is basically looking at an open TV. Of course she understands shit about the way it works.
She keeps on saying how the circuit is a tiny little city with skyscrapers and roads and bullshit like that.
She says how your brain is busy putting all the pixels together whilst ignoring the actual message.
To answer your question. Yes, this is probably true as it is definitely true that reading opinions you disagree with, with your own voice also hypnotizes you.
The beauty in the video is that she ends it by saying that
"You shouldn't let poets lie to you. The scientific truth is always better"

The truth is the truth. It is the lie that needs to be dressed up in emotion for it to prevail.
Propaganda.
Bjork was based and redpilled when she didnt have to.

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, by Jerry Mander. Talks about the flicker rate of old tv technology. But the real "hypnosis" seems to come from how fast the scenes change. Rarely is a camera angle held for longer than six seconds...usually two to four seconds before switching. It's particularly noticeable on so-called "reality tv". You start to sense that your life should also go at that speed. If you turn off your tv for a month---no cheating---then turn it back on for a few minutes, you will see what I mean.

On this matter, take notice of how fast and how continuously most of those on television and in Internet videos talk. By spewing forth a constant stream of words, they prevent their listeners from forming counter-arguments in their own mind, and induce them to accept what is being said without filtering it through reasoning.
This technique is old. Auctioneers have used it for centuries. So have snake-oil salesmen, three-card monty crooks, and fundamentalist Christian preachers. It's still around because it works. Whenever someone starts jabbering a ceaseless stream of words at you, trying to get you to buy something or believe something, take a step back and listen to silence for a while.

The people on tv live a more exciting life than the average person. We should strive to be like the people on tv.
It's more than just the flicker rate of cathode ray tubes. It's the constant repetition, the subliminal messages, the use of sex and violence to reinforce political and social messages. Yes, television is a tool for "re-education" -- which is to say, for brainwashing. That's why the Jews are determined to keep control over it.
