[ljf613]

Latest episode of The Irrational really missed the opportunity to compare traumatic flashbacks and re-experiencing to that flight simulator-- the brain recreates the event over and over trying to make sense of it, trying to understand how it happened and how to prevent it from happening again, maybe adjusting a few slight components here or there to see if there was a way things might have played out differently…

The Barnum effect

(also knownas the Fowler effect orthe Barnum-Fowler effect) is a common psychological phenomenon inwhichaperson receives a high degree of accuracy inadescription of his personality that isostensiblytailor-madeforhim, butisin fact vague and general andthereforeapplicable to manypeople. This effect maypartlyexplainthe widespread use of paranormal beliefs and practices such as astrology, divination, aura reading, and some personality tests.

These characteristics are often used by practitioners as a methodof deception to convince victims that they are endowed with paranormal talents. Because the evaluative statements are very vague, people make their own interpretations, whichin turn makes the statements"personal" to them. In addition, people are more likely to accept a negative evaluation of themselves if they perceive the person giving the evaluation as a high-levelexpert.

The term "Barnum effect" was introduced in 1956 by psychologist Paul Mele in his essay "Wanted-aGood Cookbook"when he linkedvague personality descriptions used in some "pseudo-successful" psychological tests to descriptions given by showman P. T. Barnum and the "delusion of personal evaluation." Name-calling.

it's good to know that whenever i am at my lowest. my nadir. my psychologically weakest. i will inevitably get roasted by a fortune cookie

me trying to write a uquiz result in a way that would work for literally everyone:

You exist. Whether you want to or not, you still do. Or at the very least, other people perceive you as someone who exists. Who knows… maybe you don’t actually exist. That’s up to you to figure out.

[mummer]

i saw a tweet that was like "if you dont believe in astrology: why?" and all the answers were like, Oh, i just find it too confusing, or My sign isn't really accurate, or Oh people take it a bit too seriously. hey.... how about that Astrology isn't real. there's nothing about it that's actually seriously physically or metaphysically real. It's not a real thing, that exists

i'm not saying i believe in astrology (i do) but people who come on here and talk about exactly how much they don't believe in it are way nastier than whatever silly bullshit an astrology person has said to you because of your sign

Added in Edit: Having had this up for a while, I have to say that it truly amazes me just how many of the religious (most of them in fact) are the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Not just stupid, but dangerously stupid. "Threat to the survival of humanity" stupid. Death cult stupid. So I'm adding a couple of tags to the blog, just for them.

Barnum was right. "There's a sucker born every minute." If you can believe in a god (or gods), an invisible, all knowing, all powerful being, based on nothing but your feelings and some moldy manuscript written before modern medicine and electricity, then you'll believe anything at all, no matter how ludicrous. And the evidence of that is in front of us every damn day. Trump. Republicans. Anti-vax. Anti-science. Climate-denial. Anti-abortion. Flat Earth. Steal from the poor and give to the rich.

Added it Edit on 04/02: Just had a porn pusher call on me to repent. Typical of the breed. Hypocrites, all of them. ROTFLMAO!
