Can we use this to our advantage? Maybe tattoo "Less Wrong" on one's palm and look at it when in distress?
btw, this is almost the sort of thing a chaos magician would do. They would create a symbol by smashing the letters in Less Wrong together and then tattoo the created symbol on their palm. Or at least keep copies of it around all the time.. Perhaps the symbol has more priming power than mere words. Any evidence of this?
Not that I know of.
This is a bit shaky; but I think I recall from reading Peter Carroll and Austin Osman Spare that one's supposed to create a sigil, energize it, then put it somewhere you'll never see it again; not perpetually see it. I would expect a double-blind study to find more priming from explicitly visualized concepts than from obfuscated symbols, but it might be interesting to throw that in as another option alongside various vectors for subliminal messages.
