I don't claim to be an expert on Tony Robbins and his version of NLP. But I think I am an expert about CNBC as much as I watch that network. I wonder if Erin Burnett and her buddies were ordered to use a metaprogram of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) or if she just thought it was cute.
Come on Erin. You are using NLP on your victims, or should I say, your viewers. That is not nice. And yet, you look so pure and nice. Oh well.
Lets face it, the fact that Erin Burnett is practicing NLP on investors is in itself very disturbing. Not only are the markets manipulated, but the psychology that CNBC uses is a manipulation based in pseudo science.
The psychology is important in that it proves that stock market results cannot stand on their own. Stock market results need the assistance of a phony psychology in order to establish the desired ends of the manipulators. While NLP is phony psychology, it is successful as a form of brainwashing or even self brainwashing.
In other words, NLP could reflect reality, or it may not. If it doesn't and you lose your shirt in the stock market, at least you were warned here that methods are being used on you every day to buy stocks. Obviously the powers that be don't have confidence that you will buy as many stocks as you will by the influence of metaprogramming.
I wonder how many other metaprogramming phrases have been used to get you to part with your money? How about "green shoots." How about "poised for recovery." Or how about dredging up the old power of positive thinking? This is just the repackaged version, imposed on high by none other than Ben Bernanke.
It is difficult for me to see Ben Bernanke as a snake oil salesman, but come to think of it, he just may be. Look how the stock market keeps going up because he said there were green shoots!
There are a couple of things that we could take from this lesson in NLP:
- Green Shoots may not turn into green plants.
- The power of excess consumption rested with the US consumer. That consumer is wounded and we do not yet have anyone to take his place anywhere else in the world.
- Just because we are "poised for recovery" we cannot conclude that we are recovering. An alcoholic who says he is poised for recovery does not have my confidence, nor should he have yours.
The bottom line, then, is that some of you are being metaprogrammed. You are having metaprogramming jammed down your throats, daily. But clearly, you don't think that the insiders believe that hogwash do you? If God fearing Goldman (GS) wants to take chips off the table and leave you with major losses it is only money right? It is no sin that they are smarter than you, just because you believed in NLP.
But think about it. What greater crock of NLP exists in the world than having anyone believe that Goldman Sachs is doing God's work? If you believe it you are indeed smitten with NLP up to your eyeballs. Please, get therapy immediately.
