Luci, I know why people want these things. It still seems unhealthy.

Leejosepho, not all visionaries are members of neurological minorities. Not all members of neurological minorities are visionaries. I know a teenager with ADD whose main interests are popular music, clothes, celebrities, fashion, fads, and TV. I have met autistic people whose main pursuits were your mama jokes.

I see nothing wrong with 'new age feel good' crap. If it gives someone a little poke in the direction of positive self esteem I see that as a good thing.

Is it a scam? No, actually it is rather upfront about being a commercially supportive of a book and, basically, a Wayseer's Club. Good for him. Free market economy and the american dream and all that... I might not use Progressive insurance but I still like Flo and the commericals...

I do find it unfortunate that a 'movement', which seems, at least, in part, focused on that newly growing population of previously undiagnosed aspies.. and other assortted free thinkers, has it's message imbedded in a seizure inducing video. I'm all for the message but the video was hard to watch.

To each his own. To buy or not to buy, that is the question... happy shopping consumers.

LOL! I could not watch this video past the first 50 or so seconds. It was irritating and annoying and the guy said "nothing" to me. Just a bunch of words. (How broken am I?) :D :D :D :D


Heh. I actually couldn't make it to the video at all, just seeing the still shot and then finally digging up a transcript was enough for me. It just set off too many alarm bells, I don't willingly expose myself to propaganda videos. They're designed to get inside my head, and I am careful about what I allow into there.

Could be a covert op for an intelligence gathering government department?

The revolution is too important to be left to revolutionary's, better to join their ranks and turn them round.

I'm more of a visionary.
