 I think that's why the call it "theoretical physics."  Didn't you learn that 
in your college physics classes?
 
 Still haven't seen any evidence that our resident armchair scientists on FFL 
actually know anything about science.  It's just "popular" to "look scientific" 
in the 21st century, I guess.

 Exactly and if he is any kind of a scientist, he knows it is not true and is 
therefore liar, huckster, fraud and con artist.

 Michael, he is promoting highly speculative theories that cannot be proved, at 
least at the present time, or probably, the foreseeable future. 
 
 If you care to frame it in a different context to suit your needs, please do 
so.
 
 
 But, it is no different than any other speculative theories promoted by 
respected and non respected scientists.

 This is in essence saying you don't care who is a con artist, nor who gets 
conned as long as it isn't you. Interesting moral compass.

 Not in a chat room where he insults people that think otherwise.
 
 
 Besides, his belief is that TM will make the world a better place, on the 
other! hand he's spent a lot of time slagging off the TMO for the way it 
handles things. That's what we mean by cognitive dissonance, he can't reconcile 
the fact that TM doesn't work for the TMO with his beliefs about how effective 
it is so he tries to remove the people who remind him of the dichotomy.
 
 
 I have not been a student of Doug's posting.  There was a lot of the "same", 
so I skipped over most of it.
 But, I think your assessment is a little severe.

 
 
 Yes, I would say he has been able to reconcile more disparate points than most.

 
 
 That works for him.
 
 
 How does reconciling things that shouldn't be happening become something 
"working"? Sounds like denial to me.
 
 
 

 You mean you actually like it nice and bland? It doesn't bother you at all 
that there are only a few people left, and me only because there's nothing on 
TV tonight? Go figure. 

 
 
 I think things are off to a great start.&nb! sp; 
 
 
 Hmmm....
 
 
 What gets your goat? What makes you want to raze the world to the ground and 
start it again? Do you ever care about anything enough to try and do something 
about it?
 
 
 Well, you don't know much about me, which is understandable.  And I don't 
reveal too much.  But, I am responsible for  the livelihood of about twelve 
people, and I believe they would have my back under any circumstances, as I 
would  have theirs.
 
 
 Not what I meant....
 
 
 The quest for truth clearly doesn't get you going if you are "okay" with 
blatant attempts to deprive you of money! Or maybe you should pay a bit more 
attention...

 It's everyone's concern if these "Nebulous theories" are a load of crap and 
can be demonstrated to be so and are costing people who don't know any better 
an awful lot of money.
 
 
 Hiding behind a PHD and claiming to be a world renowned scientist for 
instance, claiming that science has discovered this or that when your beliefs 
are so outside of the mainstream they wouldn't be accepted as likely in a Harry 
Potter movie.
 
 
 I would say the movement goes out of it's way to persuade the faithful that it 
- and it alone - is in possession of the real facts about life and that the 
rest of the world has yet to catch up. From day one as a TMer they start 
spinning the yarn of perfect knowledge from the unified field and all the 
technologies they have to help you gain the most from life that don't actually 
work but are all part of the mythos. I would say that's coercion, they do guilt 
brilliantly too. 
 
 
 It's a religion and expanding the coffers at the expense of the flock is what 
I expect. But the pope doesn't charge $5000 for a prayer. Check out the adverts 
for the yagya programme starting with Marshy's bullshit lectures. It's  con. I 
care about people I know being conned.

 Sorta funny, Sal, don't you agree?
 
 
 First you accuse Hagelin of all of his magical thinking, and then you appear 
to have special insight into Doug's thoughts and feelings.
 
 
 Oh well, that's how it goes at good 'ol FFL!
 

 I think it's a good guess about Doug. Cognitive dissonance is real and affects 
groups that have a strong "world saving" focus, when it all goes wrong and 
turns out to be nonsense they just carry on like everything is fine. It's 
classic True Believerism and I don't think it's funny at all but it is 
fascinating. I know loads of people who refuse to discuss the movement's many 
problems that it isn't supposed to have.
 
 
 And you think his dislike of us "apostates" is reasonable? It always sounded 
scary to me.
 
 
 And I accuse Hagelin of lying or delusions not magical thinking, though he 
might do that as well.
