lol @ psych, more knowledge, and documentation
No offense to your profession, but even the best psychologist will admit to you that a lot of psychology is bullshit. Not because its not true, but because we keep finding shit out and so it changes things. Psychologists can lend their expertise but they're no experts on the brain or its inner workings
yes unethical shit has been happening for a long time. & If you know about ethics and you're a psych major then you should know about the experiments done on little Albert. Psychologists have been conducting experiments to push the boundaries of whats ethical. They had that fake prison experiment too where some participants were guards and others were prisoners. The guards got abusive with their power and even treated the prisoners horribly. forgetting it was an experiment.
& you're right @
Jason, there's limited evidence. There is limited evidence according what we know and understand as we're bound to the knowledge and technology of the times. How do you know it doesn't have a profound effect on your sub conscious mind?
Your sub conscious mind is what governs you. Psychology is barely on the cusp of understanding dreams other than terms they throw around like REM, adaptive theory, sleep-wake cycle, melatonin
And yeah Jason, I'm not saying it'll cause violence on a large scale. I'm just saying it'll contribute to the negativity/violence/evil in the world..
GTA 5 is unlike any other kind of violent entertainment we can encounter as humans living in this modern world Jason. Gladiators are long gone
That leaves us with music, movies, and games
Games like GTA 5 being the most dangerous of the 3, because they're virtual simulators where you control the actions of the character. You play God. That's what makes GTA 5 more dangerous than all that other shit
Some people already have problems distinguishing video game fantasy from reality. What's next? GTA 6 on the PS5 with virtual reality glasses and the violence becoming more realistic? Video gaming is heading towards realism in a virtual environment. A lot of bad shit is bound to happen because of this
