Then again, perhaps someday YOU will understand there's NFW you're going to get through Mike's impenetrable confirmation bias. IF you want to address the imagined lurkers, you might consider a different strategy than just being tossed about with every wind of Mike's bull shonta.

GSC offers first, clear vision that twi-followers are caught in trap
Rocky replied to skyrider's topic in About The Way
I think he stopped. He asked to be removed from GSC membership. I'm not sure, but the mods may have honored his request. Nevertheless, I just found this YouTube clip. -
Do I need to post another YouTube video of Professor Irwin Corey here? Do you have any idea how freakin' outrageous it is to continue engaging with him at all? If you want to address something to the great unwashed masses (or even if they wash regularly and just get an inkling to question the "greatness" of a certain cult), why not synthesize and summarize the essence of his arguments and claims in a succinct document and get it posted to GSC and ask the mods to make it not subject to inane ramblings? IOW, develop a document, post it or get it posted and not have it be subject to discussion... at least on the post or new thread on which it's initially posted. For ANYONE to continue to pose the kind of question (even if not in the form of a question) you posed in what I quoted herein, is tantamount to continuing to do the same thing repeatedly and expect a different outcome. Don't continue to criticize him. Criticize his bottom-line ideas.

Did you mean to say YOUR INTENTION was to calm the discussion down somewhat? Your intention appears not to have translated into a message which could accomplish such an objective. Do you REALLY think how you were actually viewing your statements matters at all to anyone? Not just here, but anywhere? Let me see, I'll try it for you, see if this makes any sense to you, Honestly Mike, WTF? More than two decades of doing the same thing and you expect different results?

Unless you had removed yourself already. For me, the removal was in 1986, 37 years ago. I started THAT journey in the early 1990s. My employer incentivized taking the bus to work. I started reading and exploring during said commutes by bus. I'm quite thankful. Similar to the firehose of falsehoods. Because how can someone encountering such a firehose cope well enough to figure out what's truth or consistent? Propaganda is communication that is primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is being presented.[1] Propaganda can be found in a wide variety of different contexts.[2] IOW, we were inundated with propaganda and had no chance, in the moment, to sort it out or critically analyze any of it.

An insightful reflection indeed. To me, it's clear this particular cult is locked into a social framework based on fear of having its cash-flow severely diminished. When its followers break the chains in their minds... well, I envision stories (fiction) to provide encouragement to break those chains.
