Heaven deliver us all from those deluded beings who are nurturing the psychotically illusive notion that anything that exists to be other than under their absolute control exists to be radically out of right control. The reality of the matter is the inverse of their conception of it.

re these studies--I is amazing to me these studies are being done; because virtually all of them were already done in the 1955-1975 era by endless social psychologists. e.g., have smokers write anti smoking articles to see if it changes their attitude toward smoking. it does. but usually for only a while. as a former smoker, likely only as long as the time it take sot walk to the car after the experiment. so now we get to pay for these studies all over again. there is more smoke here than fire.

I knew my burned-out-brain-with-no-short-term-memory would be helpful in my later years!

As you are raised to the Heavens nailed to your cross, know that you could have been saved if only your questioning mind stop with all the questions. Salvation, redemption and nurturing slavery were only a drug away.

Well, we all have to earn a living. Let’s be scientific – compare and contrast.

Some, like the interventionists you mention, earn their living with no morality, straightforwardness or insight and will invariably harm others and eventually, their own shallow, self-deluding selves.

On the other hand, willing and cheap service providers. available in many a back alley, ply their trade honestly and transparently to fully informed and consenting customers.

QED – more or less.
