Damn rooftop. I knew you were smart and eloquent but didn't know you were so well versed in breaking down Psychological conditioning paradigms. As a former Psych student myself, I am impressed in your verbiage and lexicon.
Do you have a psych degree too? Psychology has been a hobby and passion of mine since I was a teenager and became obsessed with breaking out of my introverted shell by studying and learning as much about the pick up artist community as I could lol
Since I was about 16 when i first read "The Game" by Neil Strauss, I set off on a mission to grow myself into an extroverted, outspoken, confident and effective communicator who would be able to consistently strike up conversations with intimidatingly attractive women in random public places and befriend them enough in a short amount of time to be able to get their phone numbers more often than not.
It was an uncomfortable process with countless failures and embarrassments in the beginning as I conditioned myself to become outcome independent in my interactions and increasingly authentic in my ability to convey a colorful, interesting personality and high self esteem.
Long story short, this led me to pursuing studying Psychology in college (which was much more difficult than I expected and required strenuous amounts of reading comprehension and memorization of authors & concepts of about a dozen different scholarly papers for each test) and eventually, after much struggle, getting my Bachelors degree back in 2017. It was so incredibly difficult lol.
Fascinating! I can empathize with the reasoning for your drive. I absolutely loathe being deceived or manipulated. It's by far one of my biggest pet peeves. I've always loved that quote, "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". The message is a powerful, yet simple one: "Never make the same mistake twice".
