Subject: Re: Stupid Statistics
Ok, I try to formulate this in a different way : of course I didn't
count the posts to elaborate some kind of statistical study (it
could be fun!). In fact, I wanted to say that 90% (read : almost the
whole) of the pseudo-explanations about Derren Brown are pure
nonsense.
I don't say it's bad ; yes, it's a fan group, and everybody can say
what they want, it's ok.
DB is very good to make people believe his effects are genuine
hypnosis/NLP/psychology. Why not?, some people believe one can twist
a spoon with the mind, or predict what will happen next year.
But I think there's a little problem when people start to take
courses, or buy lots of books to study NLP, because they think this
will give them the "power" to reproduce DB effects.
A fact ? : When I imagine someone thinking that Derren Brown can
tell a word with some kind of "throat reading", I can't stop
laughing !
A last word : keep cool guys, it's christmas ... :-)
