Quote from maxpi:
I worked with a really creepy, I mean really creepy, guy a few years back. He did the mind control thingy. The boss would ask him to train somebody on something and when he got done with the incredibly boring and penetrating "training" the person was afraid to touch anything related. He wanted control of everything in the lab and would use mind control at every opportunity... eventually I just sat back and let him do all the work, and he was not into finishing anything, just control, least productive person I've ever, ever witnessed. They took him all the way to the top personell people trying to get rid of him and he did the mind control thingy there too, he's probably there some three years after he ran out all the talent... I just could not stand the guy, he wasn't human... but it was obvious he was going to win the war and I wanted to change careers... How they figure out how to do that stuff I don't know, I never wanted to learn what he did. He was a brain nutrition starved vegan though, he'd been a vegan in his teenage years and that is known to retard brain development at that stage of life... he probably was Autistic or Asperger's for sure, he seemed more Aspergerish than out and out Autistic.. I've been around both... hard to take...
I put JH on ignore just to preserve my sanity, my head swims and I feel like I'm circling the drain when I read that stuff.. it's weird... NLP is an outgrowth of hypnosis, talk about mind control... he can write perfectly well, I've seen something written "in the clear" by the guy, it was fine...
I tried to cut through the bullshit and figure out what he was talking about, the channels are very weak tools imo. FTT is interesting but in other contexts it is not needed, PRV is useful but also a weak tool and prone to leading to overtrading... whatever, he has an assemblage of weak tools...
We need a contest here on ET with all the schools being touted here in play....
I did get a book on NLP, NLP for Dummies, the whole subject is not very complex actually. A funny thing, it points out that the subconscious does not understand negatives so when some assclown on ET says "YOU GUYS CANT TRADE" the reader's subconscious sees it as "you guys can trade"... Mind controllers understand that so they work around it and convince you that you can't trade without their inspired knowledge, they never tell you can't trade.. well Jack has said that people that don't analyze volume will never make money and I'm down with that.. he's said that people that get punished by losing too much will never make it. that's possible I suppose...
You sight an area I am well aware of in mind control. I spent 20 years managing before I retired to trade full time. Here are ways a boss performs mind control the same as they would on ET:
- Hire people (Iâm not referring to you) who are underqualified for their positions and then overpay them so it would be difficult for them to find a comparable job elsewhere.
- Hire people who are compliant and not likely to challenge your authority.
- Keep a tight leash on your staff and limit their exposure to outside conferences, professional organizations and other forms of continuous education.
- Limit their activities within the organization
- Make all the important decisions yourself and make this well known
- Discourage independent action by limiting the scope of your employees' jobs
- Insist on ironclad loyalty or they get fired
- Keep expenses extremely low
- Spread negative stories about anyone who challenges your authority
- Try to catch people making mistakes to demonstrate your superiority.
People in this type of an organization feel they are locked in cages even when the door is open. They donât trust it to even come out of their cubicles. Its sad but Iâm not describing dogs. These are people.
Todayâs business environment is the type that these mind control bosses become megalomaniacs. These people who worked for this overcontrolling, vindictive boss today will become basket cases if they do not find a release mechanism. I have seen these SOBs in action and it tore my insides out dealing with these creeps (because I could not take the kind of action I really wanted to take).
