Most of what you think you choose—laughing, taking offense, obeying signs, reacting to slurs—are post-hypnotic suggestions planted by authority figures and culture. You're responding to triggers, not making decisions. The speaker argues your behavior isn't actually yours.
If you can watch a comedian and laugh, you could be hypnotized. If you can get offended by something somebody said, you could be hypnotized. Every time you stop at a stop sign, you just responded to a post-hypnotic suggestion. Every time somebody sneezes and you say bless you, you just responded to a post-hypnotic suggestion. If you brown like me, at some point somebody probably sat you down— a mom, an uncle, a father— somebody probably sat you down and say, hey, if one of those white kids at that school call you the N-word, you better punch him in his face. He don't get to say that to you. He didn't. And if you go to— if you 20 years 25-year-old, 30-year-old white boy at the job call you then, where you punch him in the face, you just responded to a post-hypnotic suggestion. There's no different than every time I ring this bell, you're gonna quack like a duck. Every time somebody says this word to you, you're gonna get angry and you're gonna lash out at them. That's, that's hypnosis. That's hypnosis.
