8 keys to Eliminating Passive-Agressiveness (2013)  // 18 books by Andrea Brandt

// I have an imperfect memory but this needs to be said.  "Shock therapy" was originally designed to be a method to eliminate passive aggressive behavior.  It is not supposed to be painful or high current or a "shock."  It is supposed to be medium current and constant.  The idea is to run a current across someone's head to eliminate evil from their brain.  It is supposed to be done for 2 hours for children who demonstrate behavior abnormality and a high IQ.  Without the high IQ you are supposed to be euthanized.  Without predicated health insurance like Australia, though, our system isn't trustworthy enough to be used.  I think I had it done for a half hour in preschool.  I was willing because my father had started to induce terrible behavior in me.  I chose my own settings because of course I understood the technology better than the teacher.  And nobody ever set it up correctly.  Forget the shock behavior!  The hitch is - it makes people a little more lustful rather than less lustful because it eliminates homosexual tendencies.  If a child goes through with it, they need a girl when they are finished.

It is nicknamed "Figure out the meaning of fuck on your own therapy."  That means electro shock therapy will boost your intelligence until you figure out the meaning of fuck on your own.

I remember a weird tip - it is exactly 3 hours and 14 minutes to eliminate sodomy from our brain. 

I also remember, setting the current for medium low rather than medium makes it too wimpy.

Also, a full 3 hours removes you from the curse of homosexuality.  Or more precisely nobody will ass fuck you for getting laid using the therapy if you get the full 3 hours.

America does seam to dominate psychology publications.  Perhaps reluctant to take our own advice.

Stargazing for dummies.  Stellarium-web.org is beautiful, and it reminds me of how awful the failing of the Hubble telescope is.  You have no idea how much better the sciences would be if the Hubble had been done well.  If the Hubble had been done well, maybe they would have funded the Super-collider.

Related to psychology is the subject of the Rorshach exam.  There is a version that you can take online that I have found

Harrower-Erickson Multiple Choice Rorschach Test

developed by the US military at the end of WWII it is much simpler than seeing a psychologist.  Also, for psychopharmacology

I found another newer antipsychotic drug, Rexulti, approved in US, AU, and EU. It, like clozapine, is not listed in the 15th ed pill book copyright 2012. The year of introduction on these two meds, also, is not available. The best antipsychotic in the Pill Book is risperidone, micro dose only.

In the movie the Virgin Suicides, we see a psychologist conducting a Rorschach test with the youngest sister and she is doing well.  It's a shame he didn't finish.  They are a normal form of treatment.

I will say that the original Rorschach test as described sounds too long.  

Antipsychotics boost your IQ and your reading ability.  It's like the quest for a superman pill.  Or should I say an "absolom" pill?

K, I just got done with the Harrower-Erickson test and the result is jammed up.  Now I remember why the army made their own version.  The Rorshach test is flagrantly a "Do you know what a vagina looks like?" test.  I won't say which of the 10 images is what.  The thing is, in the Virgin Suicides, when the youngest and prettiest sister starts to do well at a Rorshach exam, the pscyhologist breaks it off.  I suppose he wanted to demonstrate that she wasn't smart enough to know what her you know what is since she is attractive, and when that wasn't happening, he gave up.  God I need Windows 11.  I use Spywareblaster in addition to Webroot.  Maybe that's why it isn't working.

The Harrower-Erickson version of the Rorshach exam has a drop down that says "sex organs" so you can avoid using the "v" word.

k, I got through it.  I was freezing up on a questionnaire at the end on TV watching habits that I couldn't bypass.  The score measures how many mentally disturbed answers you give.  If you give 4 or more, you are mentally disturbed.  And presumably ineligible for military service.  I got a 3.  Sanitarium.  Leave me be.

https://www.rorschach.org/ for the original inkblot test.
