So, Richard, I take it that psychoanalysis is not bringing very many
clients
to your door. I understand completely. No patient would want to lie on a
couch and listen to you rant for an hour.

Luv,
SHP

Bob, your message may be deadly but the address is
wrong.
No Englishman- not even a psychiatrist- would have baseball pop up into
his
brain as an apt metaphor. Cricket is the name of the game.
The original SHP in his Yahoo and other disguises is not a Londoner.
I know psychiatrists- SHP's jargon is not their jargon either.
Not that it matters who exactly is selling the Belt product on the web.

Ludo,
My opinion is that Dr. Graham has superior intelligence in many
respects, and, as he makes a hobby of deception, deliberately uses metaphors
to confuse. His approach to us smacks of the Turing Test, which essentially
means that the more intelligent entity can lie undetectably to the less
intelligent entity. I feel that in this regard, his posts contain a lot of
cold calculation in the tradition of counterintelligence deception. While it
is also the case that his posts exhibit lack of balance, sheer lunacy, and
possibly drug-induced mania, we should not discount the the capability to
function at a superior intellectual level.

The cons have a slogan among them: "There ain't a horse that can't be
ridden", which means, there is no one who cannot be deceived. In a mental
jiu-jitsu, the con deceives the victim into believing that he is more
intelligent than the con.
It appears to me that Dr. Graham has made this a side interest of his study
of mental processes. He knows, as you have quoted, that 29% or so will
respond to a placebo. He used this as the basic fact of his assault on this
group.

Thus, I suggest that you have underestimated the extremely high formal
intelligence of this individual. It is easy to do so, due to the extreme
instability of his emotional makeup, and the inadequacy of his "theory of
mind", which leaves him in the dark as to the mental processes of others,
except in an extremely formal sense.
