Dear Folks,

 

There are four choices, at least….

 

1. I’m NOT OK, and You are OK

2. I’m Not OK, and You are NOT OK

3. I’m OK, Your are obviously NOT OK

4. I’m OK, and nobody, including me, is OK

 

This is the true essence of the Pop-Psychology idiocy of the 1960s, of course….

 

Do you recall this book:

 

What about this one:

 

1. I am dysfunctional, and…YOU, too, are dysfunctional.

 

Also, most primates, including baboons are dysfunctional, but few baboons have ever read this book.....although....

15 million copies have been sold, to date.

So then, if the lesser primates have not been reading this book....

Who has?

You?

 

What did this book do for you and how did it improve your life, and the lives of your loved ones?

 

If you wish to truly appreciate the importance of the Social Sciences, then you will need to re-read this book by Harris, if you have forgotten it...

I guess.

 

And, by the way, do you think that Harris will be running for Prez, and will Harris be our next big winner in the year 2028?

 

Our world is so crazy that even the best Pop-Psychology books cannot help our humanity.

Someday, only the baboons will rule this Planet of the Apes, presumably.

Or, some AI from Meta....most likely.

What do you think?

 

Is it now time for us all to get back to the Natural Sciences….?

Or, not?

 

Best regards,

Gamma

Exactly.

How about this? "You are Not Ok. Stop deluding yourself."

Give me a thumbs down.

But....ONLY IF....

I might be not OK....

Or, not up to snuff.

But, you are correct....

MAD was great, back in the day.

 

Now, we will all die, as I said, due to MAD.....

Bombs away.....!!!!

I never was OK.

 

5. You are not OK, but you think you’re OK, and that, my friend, is definitely not OK, because everyone else is right as rain, perfectly OK, but you keep telling yourself they’re not OK, which is really not OK at all, so you’re stuck thinking you’re OK when you really are not OK, not OK, OK, and here’s the kicker, you insist you’re the only one who’s OK, everyone else, in your mind, is some kind of not OK, so you keep repeating that story over and over like a broken record of OK and not OK, and the more you try to prove you’re OK, the less OK you actually seem to be because real OK doesn’t need to shout it out loud, real OK just is OK, meanwhile the rest of us, happily not OK or perfectly OK, just keep rolling along while you’re stuck in a loop of OK and not OK, so you see your OK is a special kind of not OK which is actually not OK but hey maybe you think that’s OK too, confused? Perfectly OK, because that’s just the way the world spins around your OK and not OK dance, not OK, OK.

The entire DYNAMIC of the Book, in question, is .... P. A. C.....

 

Parent

Adult

Child

 

Please read the book, and you will see what I mean.

 

Are we adults here?

Are we children?

And, who are the Parents?

 

 

 

This is what you call

 

POP-PSYCH  SCHEMATIC.....101   

 

Just all boils down to something like ....

 

Transcendental Meditation, but from a Psychoanalyst....
Which is NOT science, as we all know.

 

So, do you recall this book when it first came out in hardback?

 

What a joke....!!!

 

Or, do you disagree???

No, Freud was onto something ... cannot be completely dismissed.

each to their own I guess....you remind me of a  time when I used to work for some professors, geniuses ( is that correct word) but in day to day life they were as dumb as heck,, doubt they could even cross a road

I'm OK, couldn't be better BUT Judging by the anger, the nasty, hostile replies to my unprovoked comments to the many articles I reply to, it seems some here are obviously NOT OK.

Fun book - I read it in the 60's - seems to be a lot of "little professors" on this URL. (or is it AI speaking?)

It’s a <deleted>e state of affairs, and all the fresh air in the world won’t make any bloody difference

Obviously, Miss Daisy!

Funny but Friday as I was going through TSA area at Palm Beach Airport in Florida, some big burly TSA guy kept asking me am I OK?  He persisted as I just ignored him.  Then he asked if I wanted him to call a supervisor.  I said I don't care what you do.  I said I don't understand the question.  What do you mean by OK?  My financial status?  My family relationships?  He was just bored and looking for something to do
