TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

Psychology mostly, particularly persuasion or political psych.  Though the international security stuff sounds kindof interesting too.

Persuasion and political sided psychology? Im sure works of political analysis exist, but "persuasion" itself i think its only thru derivation from knowledge or authors out for a quick buck write specifically about it.

As for an overall good psych book with practical applications:

Devereux, George "From anxiety to method in the behavioral sciences", 1967

Political ones im gonna have to think about which...

I'm looking more at journals than books.  Also, I try to avoid reading things published before they finally started throwing the Freudians/Jungian/other pseudoscientific bullshit artists out.

Are you calling Devereux's work pseudoscientific bullshit? Or was that a general remark?

I have no idea who he is, but he published in 1967.  Typically that means a behaviorist at best, who were full of themselves rather than full of shit.

There are a few real gems from back then, but I don't have it in me to wade through the bullshit.

That book by Devereux is "open/deep" interview methodology, but has very interesting ideas regarding transference/countertransference/anxiety.

And you saying its bullshit is saying the same of my opinion, because i recommended it with good intentions and you shat on me.
