[quote="Cassandra"]^ Sadly, the only option for some people whose lives are being ruined by people who will not change their behaviour is to go no contact.

From my experience of Moly and his teachings changing habits doesn't cut it with him. It is simply 'go', there is no compassion shown to those left behind and he does nothing to improve relationships. Not only that we can see people struggling to eek out a living as potential career's are abandoned. The RTR bullshit is only a cover up. His intended new recruit is all ready entangled in his 'web'. RTR is just a process in the whole charade as he rings up a few more dollars in the till.
Perhaps for some, recognising that a change in habit is necessary, it is worthwhile doing so. Hopefully your missing one will return to a better life. Thing is, they need to go back and find out for themselves but Moly doesn't endorse that.

Yes, he is abusing the concept for his own purposes, both to continue his mission to destroy families and also to line his own pockets with "voluntary donations" from his followers who believe he has shown them the only way to "personal freedom".

The way you people obsess over that fruitcake makes you look retarded.

Exploiting people's ignorance for personal gain is called 'common sense'. The ones I'd diss on are the ones that believe that nitwit and his ridiculous claims; if you fall for that sort of stuff you deserve to 'lose' everything your stupidity puts forward.

Seriously, people.

Vichy,

It appears to me from your statement above that you are proving the assertions of those who find sociopathy to be repugnant. And it is also apparent to me that you are incapable of comprehending that reasoning. Now as to whether this is a good or bad thing, that is still up for debate or discussion.

But let me ask you a question. For those like you and I who are in the long tail of intelligence, I wonder if you cannot perhaps make the calculation that the 'moral' choice is also the most efficient, and therefore the most beneficial to your own cause?

First, let me point out what should be obvious to you, and that is that there will almost always be someone more intelligent than you. And so, in that context, you will almost always fall into the situation of, "if you fall for that sort of stuff you deserve to 'lose' everything your stupidity puts forward." Can you agree with my thinking on this? And if you do agree then does this change your perspective on the subject at all or do you simply reply that you, yourself, deserve to have your head bashed in with a wrench, or whatever manifestation of this you might imagine?

Next, looking simply from the standpoint of economics, it seems to me that mutual respect must lead to the greatest wealth for all. I've written about that here, World Economics: the Most Simple of Calculations, and if you care to read it I would be curious as to your comments on my reasoning and how it may apply to the subject at hand.

Years ago I read a compilation of the works of Henry Hazlitt and the underlying sense I came away with was that his view of economics lead to the inescapable conclusion that morality is logically the most efficient way of increasing wealth. I'm wondering if perhaps that thinking will reveal itself to one who thinks morality is nonsense.

Ah... okay, now I follow your comment. Thanks. And I agree. That is about where we are now with NewSpeak having infected so much of English political discourse. One can no longer* have an intelligent conversation with most people on many topics because there are simply no points of verbal congruence.

* Me making the assumption that there was an earlier, perhaps better, time when word meanings were clearer. It's probably always been this way and I'm just a fool#. I wonder if the internet (being the global medium that it is) is bringing more coherence to language overall or not.

# Although, in my defense, I do recall reading that the early years of the U.S. was one of much greater literacy than currently.

Someone left the door ajar again! Sheeeeesh!
