But you and I will have to agree to disagree on NLP. Again, you have a theory unsupported by empirical evidence. Or, at least, I've never been able to find any credibly peer reviewed scientific documentation on this. This makes it more akin to a religion than a piece of science. While I agree that there are plenty of ways to modify a human psyche... and in fact I am doing so with Carol, I just think there's simpler and much more supportable answers than some sort of semi-mystical programming. I also sincerely doubt that any such "programming" would hold up long in an environment in which it was contra-indicated. quote:
Plasticine said: But my version of how all this works is the closest version to the predators' that anyone will ever admit to. Ahhhh yes, another of my personal favorites... the "predators" line of reasoning. Of course, amusing enough very few people who talk about dominance in species other than human has every actually read any ... you know... actual science from the field of veterinary medicine. The sad news is that dominance and submission in animals is quite a bit more complicated than "me tarzan, you jane". And by the way, why would I really care what dominance and submission is in some species OTHER than the target species of interest to me? Overall, my assessment is that you gone all over the map in your claims of science... first with the seriously debunked "brainwashing" then grasping onto the never really accepted NLP and finally to some poorly define theory of animal behavior. So far, all the things you could "write your book on" are either totally crap or marginal science at best. Feel free to write your book though. I'm sure you'll be able to impress some naive people somewhere with it. In the mean time, those of us who are actually dominant and comfortable with that will just go along our merry way though. And by the way, I wouldn't say that this thread was a catastrophe of advertisement though. I'd say it was truth in advertising and so a particularly stellar example of advertising. For those of you who are into the whole "Mind control is real" thing, I'd really truly liked to be shown wrong. If someone can show me a credible scientific article in a peer reviewed journal, I'd love to see the reference. I will gladly recant my position if anyone can give me something more than BDSM pseudo-science.
