 Quote:Gestalt psychology or gestaltism (German: Gestalt - "shape" or "figure") of the Berlin School is a theory of mind and brain positing that the operational principle of the brain is holistic, parallel, and analog, with self-organizing tendencies, or that the whole is different from the sum of its parts. The Gestalt effect refers to the form-forming capability of our senses, particularly with respect to the visual recognition of figures and whole forms instead of just a collection of simple lines and curves. In psychology, gestaltism is often opposed to structuralism and Wundt. That doesn't mean anything, the entire fucking sentence, it doesn't mean anything at all! Psychobabble fucking quacks.

Argument from personal incredulity (a form of argument from ignorance): " I don't understand it so it's bullshit" It makes sense to me. But then I've actually tried some Gestalt techniques.They work.

You mean...it doesn't mean anything to you? (as opposed to not at all and to no one).

I had a look at the video and I gotta say, while very intriguing, the whole concept of the law of attraction, I still firmly believe that if you want success financially, career and relationship-wise, you have to work your ass off.
It's a load of bollocks because:
1. It has no evidence 2. I've tried it, it's a load of shite, and it fucked me over. '2.' is personal experience I just wanted to share. '1.' is the reason why there's no reason to believe it, IOW - the important bit. EvF |
