The secret to "The Secret" is that there is no secret to "The Secret".
It's all about g and no g. It's about - (g)reed, (g)ullibility and a general lack of (g)eneral intelligence. But most of all, it is about gullibility.

"The Secret" is all about g

I'm continually amazed at the gullibility of some people who are well educated and very competent in other areas of their lives. Usually this gullibility seem to be accompanied bye an insatiable need to find a short cut, i.e. why work for something when I can get it simply by 'attracting it into my life by thinking about it'.
ReplyDeleteIf it was this easy, we'd all be millionaires by now! (although probably not as rich as the people who thought up The Secret)

ReplyDeleteI started working some time ago on my new project, "The Ultimate Secret". I thought it would make me filthy, stinking rich. But then the reality struck me, I'm not a big enough bullshitter to bring it off!
