gradenko_2000 posted:what the gently caress Whoops sorry, it was in an interview about the book. [Secret author Rhonda] Byrne writes: "Imperfect thoughts are the cause of all humanity's ills, including disease, poverty, and unhappiness." When asked by one interviewer if this meant that the Jewish people were responsible for the Holocaust, she replied that "many factors" cause millions to die in tragedies such as the Holocaust, but "if their dominant thoughts and feelings were in alignment with the energy of fear, separation, powerlessness and having no control over outside circumstances, then that is what they attracted".' As it turns out, "your thoughts are the cause of everything that happens to you" has some problematic implications in a world where horrible poo poo keeps happening to people. Goon Danton has issued a correction as of 16:57 on Jun 3, 2019 |

It is 100% always going to shake out in any Just World belief system and frankly it is a fun call out to use.

The Secret has been around forever. I remember a weird teacher showing my whole class a video about that garbage when I was in High School.

The Secret was actually a movie before it was a book. It's almost impressive how they've managed to keep the grift going for so long

i probably know the answer to this question because online wokes are online cops, but does this checkmark actually think that genderswapping the Joker will instantly absolve all of the criticisms people have of that character?

Yeah but in the book it happens secretly and without the masses knowing, because they can't tell the difference between a world run well by human apparatchiks and the woorld as it is run by AI. In the movie people are fighting robots in the streets and getting owned, until the Benedict Arnoldbot betrays his own kind out of respect for humanity or someshit.
