Is is possible to be hypnotized to forget spoilers?
This may seem really trivial in the scope of all the applications of hypnosis, but would it be possible to have yourself hypnotized to forget a spoiler to a book, movie, or TV show?
Would it be possible to get to experience an iconic twist or plot reveal just like the people did when it first came out? Movies like Psycho and Planet if the Apes; or basically every episode of the Twilight Zone, have great plot twists and reveals that send chills even when you know about them ahead of time. With how ingrained they are in pop culture it is almost impossible not to know something about the classics (think how referential The Simpsons is). I always thought it would be amazing to be able to go back and see all these things for the first time not knowing anything about them, but that ship has sailed. There are a few great stories that I haven't experienced, but know spoilers to that I am wondering if I can clear my slate and go in completely blind on.
