12 Hours

Yo, Praise,

If I had a dollar for every time I thought I'd do something in less time after procrastinating, I'd be millionaire. The delusion is incredibly real.

I spent 12 hours working on the mobile version of a bank app, whose desktop version I'd previously worked on some days before. Guess how much time I thought I needed?

3 hours. Lol. I'm fucking delusional.

About delusions, one of my interesting YouTube channels, James Jani, does documentaries on some of the craziest topics we have out there — Law of Attraction, Self Help, Money, Cryptocurrency, the Stock Market, Recession, etc.

But yesterday, I watched his two-part series on the Law of Attraction and his premise was that "it was a sham".

He asks, "what if my thoughts don't manifest?" The answer to this is where his problem lies.

LOA says that if your thoughts don't manifest, it's because you're "blocking it". So, the law is unfalsifiable. You cannot say it is wrong, because it is your problem.

He also talks about the sham that LOA is a scientific topic, explaining that the proofs that LOA is built on is based on a quite a number of Cognitive Biases, and has no empirical scientific background.

His final bullet was that none of the people who preaches the LOA message are actually real scientists or doctors.

One part of the video had me cracking.

The Law of Attraction believes that you can think away any illness. Most of the LOA preachers died from the same illness they said they'd wished away some time after.

What I thought about the entire topic was that "don't confuse the horse for the map". You'll gallop around but might eventually get lost.

How's your weekend coming, by the way?

Ciao.
