She just doesn't finish the thought; which makes it useless as advice. Her $19.99 example is not wrong, but she misses to tell everyone what the correct approach is. She hints at it - "habit formation".

I'm thinking $20, whenever I see $19.99. I think that's what she's getting at. It's not enough to know that $19.99 is a trick, you have to actively counter-condition yourself.

The question is how much she tries to mandate that conditioning or whether she leaves it to everyone else to choose which way and about what they want to condition themselves.

Maybe; I'm not in any position to assess that. But I know the feeling. Just hearing psych. Prof from Harvard or the likes, my first thought is always "ok, what gender-study bs is this now?".

What about your mentor? Confronted him with your doubts? Sounds like he would understand and handle it appropriately.

Well, if you had a breakdown, you'd be at her (the Prof. who wrote what you linked) door kicking and screaming, right now. You don't seem to have it that bad.

I can only give you the tip I already hinted at: I'm always looking for those little jabs and nudges. Does the speaker give you neutral information and wait for questions or do they try to answer all questions before they are asked or, even worse, do they use those little nudges ("It's better you do, or else...").

A psychologist without alternative motives knows that what they say is never true for everyone out there. Like me with the $19.99; I can't remember having ever thought anything else than $20 to that, i.e. while her theory might be true, it seemingly wasn't for me. Well, in that very particular case, actually. I'm sure I'm falling for heaps of other tricks.

I would just keep listening and then you choose what to try; whatever you feel makes sense to you (and your wife).

Knowing IS half the battle. Action is the other half.

I'm a Vet. This is what we do. Research (Intel), research analysis & plan development, action (combat/non combat operations), after action report, op analysis and evaluation. Notice the circle of events starts with knowing (research/analysis), action follows, back to knowing(research/analysis), then on to action again.

EVERY op is planned and acted out in this fashion. Training, Combat, Construction, etc.

Your "happiness" "professor" is an idiot who's probably never had a real job a day in her life and probably hasn't had any real world experience applying what she teaches. I found this to be the case 90% of the time in college. As a 40 yr old Freshman, this didn't bode well for me.

I've considered for some time the issues you seem to have (fortunately) developed an allergy to. For a while, I felt allergic, but couldn't pin down what was bugging me.

The article linked is what I'd call a mild version of a discourse which leads much further. To be brief I won't address the details of that whole journey. Since you ask about identifying propaganda, the key part of the article linked is this: "This is a lesson that therapy has taken to heart, but one that "pure science" continues to neglect.".

primary alarm bell: the subtle disparagement of "pure science". This signifies a mistrust of rationality and evidence-based reasoning, and ultimately, the pursuit of objective truth.

Also, the linked article is badly argued. The idea that knowing is "half" the battle is nowhere disproved. Of course, it is difficult to quantify respective portions of hypothetical battles in abstract ways! But that's kind of the point of using a shortcut like "knowing is half the battle" in the first place.

Surely knowing is some quantity of the battle? Then what quantity is it? If it can't be defined, then is it really true that "pure science" would be behind a 50% proposition that couldn't be supported? And what do we do about it anyway? What's the rest of this article's battle?

hence the second alarm-bell: vagueness. The article applies a firm conclusion to an ill-defined argument. The fallacy against which the article purports to argue is not well-defined, so neither is the counter-argument.

There are further alarm bells but those are the main ones I'd pick. I don't know what else is in the course (though I'd be interested to see, based on this). But I can say that this part is veering toward bullshit of the kind that goes further, ultimately undermining people's confidence in truth. Worse, making them feel self-righteous about that position. Even worse, using people with good intentions to distribute a hidden agenda.

Welcome

To The Great Awakening

We are researchers who deal in open-source information, reasoned argument, and dank memes. We do battle in the sphere of ideas and ideas only. We neither need nor condone the use of force in our work here. WE ARE THE PUBLIC FACE OF Q. OUR MISSION IS TO RED-PILL NORMIES.

This is a pro-Q community. Please read and respect our rules below before contributing.

WHY Q?

"Those who cannot understand that we cannot simply start arresting w/o first: ensuring the safety & well-being of the population shifting the narrative removing those in DC through resignation to ensure success defeating ISIS/MS13 to prevent fail-safes freezing assets to remove network-to-network abilities kill off COC to prevent top-down comms/org, etc. etc. should not be participating in discussions." Q

Welcome to the Digital Battlefield - Together We Win

Rules

Q Supporters:
This is The Great Awakening. Our community is international, focused on helping ourselves and others walk away from the programming, and return our governments to "by the people, for the people!"

Follow the Law:
No posts or comments that violate laws in your jurisdiction or the United States. The Feds are always watching!

No Bad Behavior!
No doxing, including revealing personal information of non-public figures, as well as addresses, phone numbers, etc. of public figures. All GAW users must adhere to the highest standards of conduct, whichever .WIN they are on. If we are notified by other moderators of incivil behavior on other .WINs, you WILL be banned here!

Civil Discussion ONLY:
They want you divided.
They want you labeled by race, religion, class, sex, etc.
Divided you are weak [no collective power].
Divided you attack each other and miss the true target [them].

No PAYtriots/No Self Promotion:
Linking or promoting merchandise, fundraising, or spamming personal websites, blogs, or channels is not permitted. Do not attempt to profit from Q or advertise for those who do. Peace is the prize. We do it for free.

Expand your thinking:
Remember, this .WIN is the public face of the Great Awakening, and, as a member here, you agree to represent the Great Awakening movement against Globalism, Communism and Progressive Insanity in the best, most positive way possible. NOTE: Your comments and posts may become news. Keep it classy!

This is not a 'fringe conspiracy' site: Topics related to flat earth theory, faked moon landings, and chemtrails are explicitly prohibited on The Great Awakening. Visit https://conspiracies.win if that's your thing!

No doomers, shills, or tards: THIS IS AN ELITE RESEARCH BOARD. If you can't use common sense you'll get banned without hesitation. If you're a shill, you fall under this rule. If you're a doomer, you fall under this rule as you just add garbage to the site like the other two. This includes forum sliding. Q said "We are saving Israel for last," and so are we. And if you're a tard, oh, man.

General Rules:

-Mods used to issue warnings, followed by temporary bans and/or permanent bans. We don't, anymore. DO NOT GRIEF THE MODS.

-HIGH EFFORT, HIGH-INFO participation only! Please respect other readers' time. Please use descriptive titles. No URLs in titles, pls. No clickbait. Keep your comments high effort. No BS.

-No fame-fagging; no, "your" post did not get removed! Were you the original author?? Eyes on the prize, frogs!

-Memes encouraged, but no low-quality, low-info trash, pls. Excessive, low-effort posting may earn users vacations!

-Keep it honest and accurate.

-Patriots.win / Q Supporters ONLY. (Sorry, this train still has no brakes.)

-Handshake noobs will be scrutinized by their command of Q, sincerity, and respect to others.

Remember, your conduct here represents the Q movement! OUR ENEMIES ARE WATCHING! (Hi, Mike! You LOSER!)
