Surfs up/tacitus' post: Pheromones and social volume

the b-nol to anrosterone were about 1:1. I shouldn\'t reveal the exact method of dispersal other than to say noone was aware of it. The scent was mild by musky -none standards.

The room itself was about 36,000 cubic feet, about 40\' x 60\'give or take 20%.
The timing of the effect was unmistakable. There were some offhand comments by others about the social intensity. They attributed it to good team spirit.

This is unlike alpha-nol as alpha-nol seems to make the recipients quieter in a group setting, distinctly more intimate. When a decent cloud of alpha-nol has been released in noisy restauants there will be a clearly marked shift in the quality of the group energy from loud babble to a close murmer. The fractal dimension of group conversations will easily distinguish an alpha-nol crowd. The voices are much more carefully modulated and the range of volume, competition to be heard or assert social dominance ?, is lessened. With beta-nol the recipients may be come somewhat louder and more boisterous, although this seems to be more realted to social confidence in the sense of group acceptance.

In contrast with this, an experiment was performed in another crowded restaurant with pure androstenone. Within 45 minutes the roar had become so loud people were literally screaming over each other to be heard. The sound pressure reached such an intensity that some of the waiters appeared to become disoriented.

alpha-nol moves to \"emotional fusion\", beta-nol to group acceptance, androstenone to social dominance competition, said on the basis of larger groups where there was frequently ethanol-brain interaction as well.

Some unusual behaviors have been observed with cannabis-pheromone interaction which are distinct from ethanol-pheromone interactions.

A psychological aside. A neurotic personality was observed to exhibit lowered neurotocism, defensiveness, and self criticism in the presence of strong pheromonal cloud.
