    I know. Scary isn't it. Hopefully with the advent of the internet and social media, it will be harder to suppress things for so long now.

    Thats why they are so desperate to "regulate" the internet.

    For this opacity alone the paper should have been rejected by the journal. Indeed, it should never have got past the funding and ethical committees in the first damn place.

    They believe in climate change? Well there's a small ray of hope.

    Duh - it cost so much to make it work :noteworthy:

    And that's not me saying it, Live Landmark herself:


    From an actual discussion in the medical journal in 2009, about adding LP into the ordinary health care, as many were complaining it inacsessible due to high cost. (bing english - norwegian) yeah.... those were the days :bored:

    That's literally the model behind MLM and other types of pyramid schemes. It creates an escalation of commitment that forces people to try to recoup their sunk cost and continue to spend. Also: cults, and casinos. Should not forget gyms, too, but that's a different topic.

    I think the OHC also falls into this category, with the added incentive that you can often get a discount to do their therapist training course and become an OHC therapist.......and so on and so on.

    Yup. And insisting on participants had to pay themself, was why one of the study proposals on LP here didn't get an ethics approval. There are reasons as to why participants are not to pay to be part of research... :p
