[quote:Menow 1417891:MV84MTQ3MzlfMjU1MDU4MjZfMkM2OTI5Rjc=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 74444] [quote:Menow 1417891] [quote:Anonymous Coward 74444] So, what quality is it, in all of us, that makes us fall for those Nancy-like thoughts and cults? I do remember Festinger's book 'When Prophecy Fails' though it has been years since I read it. I just wonder about the mechanism in the brain that is 'worked' by similar leaders. Why do some ideas catch on, regardless of outlandishness? Why do some, which seem nearly identical fail so badly? For every Nancy, there's got to be some that fail even harder, and some that balloon up into full-on religions, like some of the schisms in other faiths. What quality is it that allows one set of ideas to flourish, and another to die? It certainly does not seem to be the factual content of the idea, nor the predictive qualities of the leaders (or Lieders). I'm not expressing what I am trying to get at very well, but perhaps discussing it will improve my ability to convey it. [/quote] The desire to feel "special" is part of it. Also, the desire to blame our problems or life situation on others. [/quote] I agree that is certainly a part of it. I just wonder how the desire to feel special can be *so* deep seated, that self destruction becomes preferable to letting go of that feeling... ala Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, among others. [/quote] Well, that is several levels past the "feel good" idea which sucks people in. That later stuff is born out of something akin to hypnotic controll. [/quote]

Let's see how long the Three "bunker" Amigos can bounce off each other in their little padded room over there on
Zetatalk Jive Turkey Chat!!
PS: If any of you debunkers want to meet in the GLP text/voice chat for some LIVE audio conversation we should set a day/time to meet up in one of the rooms to have a discussion etc.
Would find it a pleasure to converse with some of you guys. I mean there's a wealth of different subjects to talk about besides this silly zetatalk stuff.
