      training a dog to drop something is a good example of why fear is a terrible motivator. the dog will just learn to swallow it as fast as possible, the exact opposite of the desired behavior.

      every group is maintained by a boundary and every boundary is maintained by the threat of physical or psychic violence. a cult ironically is a group that is built on NON-VIOLENCE as it disowns its violence into a shadowy border

      when hunting the hooman you must keep in mind its two main fears: 1/ the fear of thinking for itself 2/ the fear of being accused of not thinking for itself that is, it wants to FEEL special, but does not actually want to BE "special"

          suffering can be defined as “shadow pain”. it’s when the thought of a thing is more scary/painful than the actual thing e.g. the giant needle for drawing blood. there’s both the physical sensation but also the looming dread prior to any physical sensation

          bubble collapse & cult implosion seem very similar. they take over the public(your) mental space and create the illusion that market activity meaningfully reflects reality. however once they can no longer ingest new members, the credit dries up and prices fall
