I read something very similar in a book in the 80s, which I remember because a school friend of mine got into it and turned very woo-woo later in life. The more secular, non-spiritual explanation of the "method" is that keeping your eventual goal constantly in your thoughts means your unconscious mind will be working on the route to that goal without you realizing it, so your natural decisions will lead you to that goal. Or some crap like that.

Forget that, Scott Adams is a loving gravity denier. He thinks things just magically double in size every second, so if you jump the growing fills the gap.

To be fair, it's similar to the well-established practice of cognitive behavioral therapy, and to the extent that it works it probably works on the same principles. It's just that, coming from a non-scientific basis, it's full of the usual goofy snake oil beliefs.

IIRC, he doesn't actually believe this; it was a thought experiment at the end of The Dilbert Future demonstrating how we may think we understand some aspect of reality but what if we just don't know, maaaaaaaaan. It falls apart under cursory examination, of course.

I wish I could change every right-wing anti-pot polititoon about saving the children into anti-gun, just to gently caress with them. Hell, the sight of a kid face down in a pool of his own blood because he played with his dads gun that wasn't securely locked away is a lot stronger message than "lol he drowns in bong water, get it?"

Kopijeger posted:Oh, they are probably plenty racist, but money is most likely the primary concern. The same was true of slavery. Rebel Blob posted:Man, y'all are really over-analyzing this. It's a Hollywood movie, when this project first started coming together some studio executive said this needs a recognizable Hollywood star and everything else is just working around that. That executive had no objective other than profit, having someone like Scarlett Johansson as the lead will drag more butts into theater seats. Whatever creative decisions were made around the character are utterly secondary. Yep, ScarJo sure got butts in seats. GITS was the biggest box office smash since The Last Airbender. (My point, if it isn't clear, is that "we need white actors to sell tickets" isn't working, so that excuse should be retired.)

Based on this and his posts from his blog, I believe his argument is "I have heard of something called chaos and know it means we can't make predictions in a complicated system, so no one knows anything." In reality, it is entirely possible to make predictions about the long term behavior of a dynamical system. I don't even think climate measured on the scale of decades is chaotic. I'm pretty sure that a change of .001 degrees today wouldn't lead to a radically different climate a century from now. It could certainly cajange next week's weather, but that's a different subject.

I'm pretty sure that a change of .001 degrees today wouldn't lead to a radically different climate a century from now. It could certainly cajange next week's weather, but that's a different subject. A couple of choice quotes from his blog about his climate change denial. quote:. . .there has never been a multi-year, multi-variable, complicated model of any type that predicted anything with useful accuracy. Case in point: The experts and their models said Trump had no realistic chance of winning. quote:My point here is that I don’t care how many climate models are accurate if you don’t tell me how many were wrong. If 99 out of 100 climate scientists create models that are wrong, and one gets it right, would you bet on that winning model to stay right in the future? quote:Stop telling me the “models” (plural) are good. If you told me one specific model was good, that might sound convincing. But if climate scientists have multiple models, and they all point in the same general direction, something sounds fishy. If climate science is relatively “settled,” wouldn’t we all use the same models and assumptions? And my personal favorite... quote:Now suppose the Earth’s temperature was already in the good range for humans, but it was getting even better according to a natural cycle. That better temperature would – I assume – increase human activity in ways that (wait for it) contribute to CO2. If the economy is good, we build more industry and create more CO2. If the causation works in that direction, the heat of the world and the CO2 levels would be correlated. But the cause in this scenario is the warmth, not the CO2.

Remember when Scott Adams made that instagram model/his girlfriend(???) watch the debates with him and she was crying the whole time while he babbled about how Trump is a superhumanly intelligent hyperpersuader. Also remember when Scott Adams made microwave burritos that made people poo poo themselves. These are not questions, I am merely having you remember them back to back to get a full understanding of Scott Adams.
