ASMR ✨ Relaxing Phrenological Examination ✨ | Soft Spoken Historical Pseudoscience RP

With a methodical practice of running my fingers along your skull, I can determine your personality traits with the utmost accuracy :) Welcome to your phrenological assessment! Phrenology was a pseudoscience that was most popular in the early to mid 19th century, but continued well into the 20th. The practice was first developed by Franz Joseph Gall, who also described five tenets to phrenology, four of which I recite in the beginning of the video. Sit down & relax, and I'll be measuring and palpating all over your head to ascertain the size and shape of the "organs" on your brain. Phrenology is a 📢 PSEUDOSCIENCE 📢 From Wikipedia: "Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method." This video is only intended for relaxation purposes, and I'm just an actor on the Internet. DISCLAIMER: Phrenology was often used as a justification of racism against anyone not white. It was an awful & ignorant practice to do that, and it has been discredited for a long time. I chose to use the Fowler style of phrenology as it was less serious and "scientific", more used for personality and vocations, as this video is only for relaxation.

I don't tolerate discrimination or hatred based on attributes you can't change like where you were born, what color you are, if you have a disability, or who you love– above all, be kind to one another. We're all just people, just trying to do our thing. ❥ If you want to donate (but don't ever feel pressured to!) I have three ways to go about it: Ko-Fi link (one-time): ko-fi.com/calliopewhispersasmr Patreon link (monthly perks like early access videos & exclusive content): patreon.com/calliopewhispers Throne Gifts (wishlist for props/equipment): https://throne.me/u/calliopewhispers ❥ Check me elsewhere on the Web: The Big List Of It All: https://linktr.ee/xxcalliope Twitter: @xx_calliope TikTok: @xx_calliope Instagram: @xx_calliope ❥ Frequently Asked Questions: “Why do you ask for a preferred name & address?” While I'm a cisgender woman, I'm very aware of my audience having members that don't use their 'legal' names (I'm one of them) and use specific pronouns, or are questioning their names and given pronouns. It's just common courtesy to make everyone more comfortable here. Even if it doesn't apply to you, it may apply to others and makes the world of difference. “Why do you ask for consent to touch (even if it's a given)?” Coooommon courtesy; big thing with me. I hate being touched by anyone I don't know, but being asked even if I know I'm going to have to anyway is much more comfortable than someone putting their paws on me without warning. Common courtesy. “Is your name really Calliope? How do you say it?” Yup. It's pronounced Ka-Lie-Oh-Pee, not Kal-Ee-Ope. ❥ Channel intro created by Bearded Audio ASMR (   / @beardedaudioasmr  ) :) background image is “Close-up Photo of Green Leafed Plant” from user Aditya Aiyar on pexels.com, no attribution required. ❥ My equipment: Audio Recording – Rode NT1-A Microphones, 3Dio XLR Binaural Microphone, Blue Yeti Microphone, Roland CS-10EM Binaural Microphones Filming – Lumix G85 Camera ❥ Like & comment if you enjoyed this video, subscribe if you want to see more! ❥ Thanks for watching, have a whale of a day! :) #asmr #asmrroleplay #asmrpersonalattention
