ITT: The Case Against Jenny McCarthy As A Scientist

[Cain]

I really detest these people.

Edited for agreement.  If it ain't this mushy-headed shit, it's some other equally obnoxious bullshit.

I basically had to suffer a toned down version of this during most of my childhood.  Not the New Age aspects, thank God, or else I probably would've killed someone by now, but because I scored highly on some standardised tests above my supposed skill level, the first several years of my life were devoted to minimizing my fun and maximising my "potential".  And by potential, I of course mean my parent's social standing, since they could show me off as their child genius.

i tried to watch it something about living in harmony/love with fishes in sound pictures around and oh hell i gave up to much exposure to this crap my tolerance is shot...

Jesus.  I almost went down that road, but then both parents had to spend a lot of time on a research ship for the Canadian Fisheries Department, and I spent 3 years living with my no-nonsense, unimpressed grandparents, who had been around long enough to tell a reasonably smart kid from a GENIUS.

As a result, I was tragically hauled out of the land of "potential" and into the land of "go fishing, hunting, and get your damn schoolwork done before losing an eye playing street hockey".

There were more chores, too, but it was a small price to pay.,

Yeah, it was basically a montage of boring ass home movie shit all lashed together.

Like I said...I'm not wild about Kai, but this cannot stand.  Something must be done.

[Cain]

Yeah.  But as you can imagine, I have little truck with people who use children as their personal ego-crutches, especially if its doing them more damage than good in the process.  If your child has ADHD or autism, get them to a specialist, don't retreat into some fantasy world where you can imagine they are some sort of Chosen One.

Unless you LIKE giving money to this Celia Fenn creep who makes a ton of money off of your misery, of course.

Fucking quacks.  There has to be some way of trolling the shit out of these people.

Most really good con-artists tend to delude themselves into believing their own bullshit.

IOW, they're really gullible when it comes to their own belief system.  Something which seeks to flatter and give credibility to their cause would be a great in.  Say, if a fake scientific think tank was set up, and representatives from this think-tank had some research which seemed to indicate Indigo Child-ish things...put in sufficiently scientific language of course.  But to do a larger and more authoritative paper on the issue, the think tank would require outside funding...

GAH!  I was looking for one, and clicked on "Private Channels".  Take a look...apparently the Archangel Michael wants his $170-$200/email, and he wants it in South African Rands.

based on personal experience most of these new age guru fucks are leading screwed up personal lives, and would be easily led if you can get into their life and become their guru, its a bit up close and personal con artist style,  but i bet it would work if you didn't start to feel sorry for how screwed up they really are..

This "Celia" is a piece of work.  $170-$200 for an email reply?

I think I've established I would have little problem with conning con artists.  Its like stealing from crooks.  Well, it is, essentially.  And yeah, unless they are the deeply cynical, dangerous sort who really went into it knowing they'd be doing it purely for money, they usually are full of insecurities which they have (usually only partially) resolved through their frentic hodge-podge of New Age treatments and courses.  I think even they know, deep down, they are frauds, but they have to deny it.  And that unresolvable tension makes them eminently vulnerable...

It's like EST with email (and lots and lots and lots of pics of "Celia Fenn").

are your emails crafted from "the Unconditional Love and uplifting energy of Archangel Michael and the New Earth"?


Ya
