Psychology should be the ultimate science, right up there – and on the other end to – physics.

Everything we do and experience filters through both those disciplines.

But that’s where the similarities end. Physicists enjoy their experiments and the pursuit of Truth. Psychology, as an academic discipline, is a joke.

Take, for example, treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The American Psychological Association recommends the following treatments for it.

(1) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

I’ll give them some credit here – CBT is great. It’s not the best thing for it, but it’s a solid and reliable treatment.

So a win for psychology, right?

Not so fast. CBT is Stoicism but with an academia-compatible name. I guess they get some credit for recognising a great technique, but they didn’t develop this or even modify it. It’s just straight up, pure, unadulterated ancient philosophy.

(2) Prolonged Exposure

Uh… huh…

The idea here is to get subjects to engage with the trauma and then breathe through it or something.

Well, I like the simplicity of it.

Part of me even likes the “suck it up” attitude here.

But mostly, I’m not a fan.

For minor issues, sure.

For trauma? No.

This might help some folks but it’s slow, unreliable and needlessly painful.

 (3) Medication

Because of course they like this.

(4) Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

This is only tentatively recommended, which is insane. EMDR is quicker, easier and more effective than anything else on this list.

Psychologists didn’t discover this. This came from neurolinguistic programming (NLP). Like all ideas from NLP, academics refused to even study it until someone gave it a dorky, academia-friendly name.

You know what’s missing from the list?

Reintegration of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol.

It’s so blindlingly effective at resolving trauma that if you don’t try it as your first attempt, you’re being negligent.

I’ve seen a modified RTM delete a woman’s snake phobia, permanently. She was so phobic that she’d pass out if she thought of a snake. It took about 25 minutes and no special equipment to permanently resolve it.

I know a guy who’s a brilliant student of the mind. He struggled with memories of a bad breakup. He’d tried everything from science to shamanism, but the memories still had a charge to them.

A modified RTM approach kept those memories intact but wiped out the emotions in about five minutes.

This stuff is absurdly powerful. It’s even been thoroughly studied. But, no, of course a psychology association would know nothing about it.

I recommend you improve your life.

But I don’t recommend getting therapy.

Joining a hobby group or sports team is much better than that.

And even better than that is joining a Christian church.

If you need a little something extra on top of that?

Well, this wasn’t designed to blast your PTSD.

Only to improve your life in countless ways.

If you’re curious about some of those ways, read on:

The Gospel of Matthew begins by telling you the family tree of Jesus. This tells you He’s a man born into the world like any other, but that His birth fits a biblical pattern going back to Adam in the garden.

The Gospel of Mark begins by tying the story of Jesus to the prophecies of Isaiah. This tells you He’s the long-awaited Messiah.

The Gospel of Luke begins with the story of the conception of John the Baptist. As John made straight the way for the lamb, here he makes straight the way for the story.

The Gospel of John begins with the creation of reality.

Taken together, this tells you many things all at once. Among them is the idea that the birth of Jesus wasn’t an event. It was a moment in time, yes, but it was the culmination of everything that came before. Generations lived, fought, loved, thrived and suffered, all to advance this story by a fraction.

And, of course, that only describes the Era of the Father – the time before Christ when God ruled the world like a father and we disappointed Him like a son.

Then Jesus walked the earth and, for a few decades, it was the Era of the Son.

Now?

Now we’re in the Era of the Holy Spirit, dominated by His church and His people.

Because this part of the story is all according to His plan too.

If you’re curious about how you’ll contribute to it, then you’re my sort of person.

And if you do more than just feel curious and decide to take action, then you’re practically my brother.

Self-improvement is biblical.

Here’s how you can be biblical today:

Look.

I might be on the same side as these folks, but I can’t sit idly by.

No longer can I listen to them spout dangerous, ignorant nonsense. I might agree with their conclusions, but their reasoning? No.

So here I am, taking a stand.

I prefer cooler weather to warmer weather.

But boy do I not prefer people who prefer cooler weather.

Give yourself one point every time you’ve heard some variation on this:

“When it’s cold, you can always just put more layers on. But when it’s hot, you can only get so naked.”

Minus one point for every time you’ve said that.

To my fellow appreciators of a soothing, cool breeze… have you ever actually been in cold weather?

If you’re cold, you put a jacket on. Still cold? Put a coat on over that. If it’s a decent coat, now your body is warm but your hands are cold. And every breath stings.

Ah, but you can fix your hands with some gloves. And you can wear a scarf or ski mask over your mouth.

Okay.

And then you enter a home or store, and suddenly you’re sweltering.

Summer lovers have it made. They can glide between blistering outdoors to cooling shade to an air conditioned shopping centre, and it’s all just nice. When it’s cold out – so cold you need to layer up – then you’ll never be comfortable.

Unless you learn to be comfortable with just a few basics. If you need 17 layers just to check the mail, you’ll never be comfortable.

Now, sure, some places get so far below freezing that your eyeballs turn solid. Forget about the extremes.

But putting on or ditching a coat and a hat should be enough to keep you comfy between five and 35 degrees Celsius (40 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit).

Assuming you’re an adult who’s in reasonable health and you have somewhere cosy to sleep, of course. Based on the context, you know I’m talking about going for a walk around the park, not being someone who has to sleep there.

Anyway, none of this matters.

The point of all this, assuming I have one, is about original thinking and clichés.

And empathy. “You can always put more clothes on” is meaningless garbage to someone who hates the cold. They actually can’t. Putting more clothes on doesn’t make them more comfortable, just differently uncomfortable.

I know this, not because anyone told me, but because I know what it’s like – for many folks, at least.

It’s all about changing how you think.

Like this:

I don’t know if you’ve come across this term before.

Maybe it’s popular, but I only just came across it while following a thread of curiosity.

The term is “suasoria”.

It refers to a school lesson in Ancient Rome – something I think is a cool and creative challenge for learners.

The Romans put a lot of value of rhetoric, on the ability to persuade with logic and artistry of speech. It was the mark of an intellectual and learned gentleman.

Suasoria tests this.

It’s an assessment where the learner pretends they’re talking to a historical or fictional character. They must persuade this character to make a certain decision – one they wouldn’t have made otherwise.

I like it.

Simulations are an excellent way to refine your skills. If the instructor does a good job of judging the rhetoric, it exposes any areas the student needs to work on.

Only if the instructor can get out of his head, that is.

A bad instructor will think “well, that argument would never work on ME!” instead of wondering if it would work on the character.

A bad instructor will think “this argument gets me angry” instead of reacting as the character would.

As usual, much of life comes down to getting out of your own head and controlling your reactions to things.

Think those aren’t skills you can learn?

Ha.

Wrong.

And I can prove it.

That’s why I created this:

https://christianhypnotism.com/ysiay

Ladies, I’m here to reassure you.

You might have seen on social media the following phrase – or its variations:

“Your body, my choice”

That sounds so horrifying!

Which is the point. Most dudes saying that are joking. They’re pushing your buttons because you’ve acted hysterically over this entire time.

This isn’t a misogyny thing. If a man overreacts to anything on the regular, you know all his friends spend their time pushing his buttons. Teasing is equality.

So, no, it doesn’t mean anything.

Nor do the jokes about how we can stop pretending Project 2025 isn’t the real plan.

Relax.

Stop reacting and they’ll stop saying it.

Now, my advice to the men:

Stop saying it.

You don’t need to push a wokie’s button for they/them to melt down. You’re a man – your mere existence is enough.

But if you want to provoke them anyway?

(After all, it’s Good fun.)

And you want to win more normies over to your side?

(If not, then please sit down and shut up.)

Then be a gentleman about it.

Worse than masculinity in their eyes is virtuous masculinity. They hate it because they hate Truth, Goodness and Beauty, and the gentleman admires and embodies all three. Bonus: it reminds them of the dark old days of a century or so ago where woman couldn’t even breathe without permission.

So they’ve been told.

Be classy. Be refined. Fight the Good fight without mercy, but conduct yourself as a gentleman should. Call out bull manure without adding to the stink yourself.

There’s no call for lying, threatening or being crass. Leave that to the scum-soaked, confused freaks who looked at Kamala, saw she was a Democrat woman, then decided that was enough to vote for her.

We win by being better than them. Not by being smarter, more organised or more passionate – those things will come if we commit to being morally superior in our conduct and ruthless in our approach.

To me, this seems obvious – both how to do it and why we should.

If it’s not to you, maybe I’ll write more about it in the future.

For now, though, I direct your attention thusly:

https://christianhypnotism.com/ysiay

There’s a lot of economic ignorance on X.

Generally, yeah, but more so lately.

I see plenty of wokies moaning about how Trump’s tariffs will do nothing but make imported goods more expensive.

“The consumer ALWAYS pays ALL the tariff!” is some hardcore economic illiteracy. They reason it out as though there’s only one company selling one product to one customer, instead of, you know, a marketplace.

Let’s say China sells shirts to an importer at $20 a pop, who then sell them to customers at $40 each. Then a tariff comes along – $10 per shirt.

“The customer will pay that ten dollars!” shrieks the purple-haired gender studies graduate.

But let’s reason it out:

If an American store starts selling the shirts at $50, any of their competitors could take the hit, sell them at $40 and earn their rivals’ customers. They either make up the profits in volume or treat it as an investment in their domination of the marketplace.

Meanwhile, another company sells American-made shirts for $75 but markets them as the patriotic choice that creates local jobs. Or as the quality alternative.

Meanwhile, yet another American store points out to the Chinese manufacturers that the manufacturers need the US market. They negotiate a deal where the manufacturer pays the tariff to keep access to a lucrative market.

Meanwhile, yet another company sees a gap in the market – no one is making American shirts that companies can sell for $40. They invest in figuring out how, then carve out a chunk of the market for themselves.

Meanwhile, yet another company anywhere in the world figures out how to sell shirts to American companies for half the price of Chinese companies. Cost-sensitive importers gravitate towards them.

“The consumer ALWAYS pays ALL the tariff!” is true if and only if there’s no competition in the market.  It’s true for toy models where one company sells one product to one customer. It doesn’t hold in the real world.

You can say that about many wokie ideas.

But you can’t say that about what I offer.

All my products focus on building the things that you know will revolutionise your life – relationships, resilience, creativity…

Whoever you are and whatever you do, those things will help you.

That’s why I recommend you follow this link.

Or don’t – it’s a free country.

But if you want to, here it is:

George Takei – among others – recently took to X to complain about Trump’s plan for Ukraine.

He (or at least his puppet masters) would very much like to support the continued war effort. More guns, more money, more soldiers fighting on the front line.

A noble endeavour, generally, to help the defenceless defend themselves.

And yet, Trump has a plan to end the war and bring peace to the region. Not by any side surrendering, just by reaching mutually beneficial terms.

That doesn’t sit right with Democrats, who have lately embraced extremism in many forms. Once again, it’s liberals cutting off family members who dare to vote differently, not the other way round.

As far as the Dems go, the war won’t end until Russia surrenders unconditionally.

And if yet more Ukrainians have to perish in the war, well… better that than a peace plan from Trump, right?

It’s a sickening way of thinking, made even worse by the calendar.

On the 11^th hour of the 11^th day of the 11^th month, the guns fell silent and the Great War ended. Today is a day of peace and for reflecting on the horrors of war.

Unless you’re a Dem – then peace is just bad business.

How sad for them.

There’s not a lot you can do about that – except to focus on what matters, of course.

Lead by example and you’ll save yourself, maybe even dragging them along with you.

It’s the best chance we have of getting through the next existential trials together.

Here’s how:

A sure mark of the fool is someone who, when trying to persuade you, gives an argument that would only persuade them.

This is why woke women are so fast to call you an –ist or –phobe. In the woke mindset, there’s no greater dishonour or insult than failing to accept everything except conservatism.

But to the average person, that line of attack fizzles.

One of two things happens:

The person knows themselves well enough to know they’re not intolerant.

Or the person knows themselves well enough to know they are.

Nonsense labels might convince the odd ignorant observer, but they won’t change

Telling Christians we have to accept illegal immigrants into our neighbourhoods doesn’t fly.

It sure sounds like a great argument. Jesus was unambiguous about loving your neighbour – and the parable of the Good Samaritan tells us our neighbour could be someone poor, wretched and hated.

Sounds airtight.

But there are two versions of the immigrant that politicians talk about.

One is the hardworking and honest victim of circumstances beyond their control.

The other is an invading soldier.

Christians absolutely should help the first type, but not even Jesus you have to let enemy combatants pitch their tents in your yard. Especially when doing so would hurt the neighbours you already have.

“Jesus says to love everyone!”

Sure, but that doesn’t have to mean letting them conquer your homes. Men of military age could stay in their own countries and receive aid there instead. That fulfils the Christian’s duty to everyone.

The obligation is to care for everyone, including your enemies.

Don’t let anti-human globalists trick you into thinking there’s only one way to care for violent thugs – and that’s by letting them live next door.

An obvious lie, but I’m on X. I see how many folks believe it.

And, no, this isn’t a race thing. It’s a cultural thing.

Obviously, since that’s common to most civilisations.

But anyway, none of that matters.

What matters is being stronger and more virtuous. All Good things flow from that.

How, you ask?

A great question.

Here’s the answer:

https://christianhypnotism.com/virtuous/

Well, today America just redeemed herself.

Voters had the strength and wisdom to reject relentless and sophisticated propaganda. The entire media machine spewed out hoax after hoax and lie after lie, using everything from shame to fear to guilt to coerce Americans into voting against their own interests.

Trump is about to claim the Senate, the popular vote and the presidency. And probably the House.

My Goodness.

I’ve travelled to the US a few times and met many Americans who’ve come to Australia. The folks I’ve met were mostly smart, decent people.

It was hard to square that with the reputation Americans have – loud, stupid, violent, base and ignorant.

Well done! You voted for decency and sanity. While half the country voted to “preserve their rights” – that is, to be free use fleshlights who can slightly more conveniently murder their way out of having to face the consequences for it – the better half voted for secure borders, prosperity and a chance to change the system.

I’m so proud.

But the work has only just begun.

You’ve flushed the toxins, now it’s time to heal.

You know what to do.

Americans: continue being strong and wise.

The rest of the world: it’s time to follow their lead.

They don’t always get it right, but this time, the seppos have done right this time.

It’s time to end the madness.

It’s time to throw out most of the progressive policies kicking around, keeping the few that help while reverting all the rest.

And it’s time to carve out a future better than anything we’ve ever experienced in the past.

You can’t rely on Trump, Elon and RFK Jr to do all the heavy lifting.

You need to pull your weight too.

Prepare.

Join the fight.

Win.

Here’s how:

https://christianhypnotism.com/virtuous/

When you think of the Polish military, what comes to mind?

If you’re like most folks, it’s not a flattering image. You think about cavalry on horseback charging German tanks and somehow losing.

And every Polish joke I’ve ever heard (or made) is at their expense. They’re Europe’s designated dumbarses.

Together, it makes for an unflattering reputation.

But it’s not a fair one. Sure, Polish cavalry still rode horses while everyone else rose in steel-plated death machines. But the pilots who fled from Poland to the UK were fearsome and brave warriors.

Fast forward to today. Global Firepower rates the Polish military as the 21^st strongest in the world (out of 145 countries). It’s excellent at controlling coastlines and waterways. The military is large for its population and it can move its troops around well.

It has its flaws – of course it does.

And 21 is low on the list. I’m proud to say my beloved Australia rates much higher than that – 16^th in the world.

But the Polish military is no weak, bumbling embarrassment.

Good for Poland! It’s better to have a strong military than a weak military.

“But what about the cost? Money spent on weapons could be spent on hospitals!”

Yeah, that’s obviously a problem many countries face. But imagine how expensive healthcare would be if enemy nations were bombing your hospitals. If there’s no security or safety, everything becomes more difficult, riskier and much more expensive.

A strong military makes healthcare – and education, civil liberties, the environment, the economy and more – better.

“But what if the military tries to overthrow the government?”

Yeah, well, you’ve got me there.

If the military turns savage, brutal and primitive, then the stronger it is, the worse things turn out.

That’s why you want a military that’s not just strong, but righteous. Then you know all that firepower will be used for you, not against you.

It’s the same with masculinity.

As a man, you have three choices:

One – be weak.

Two – be strong but wicked.

Three – be strong and righteous.

“Aren’t there four choices? Weak but wicked, and weak and righteous?” My goodness, no. If you’re weak, then you can’t be righteous.

Strength comes in many forms, not just physical. In fact, mental strength is generally more formidable than physical strength. Strength isn’t always just about lifting weights, but about honing your character.

And if you can’t hone you’re character, then you’re not righteous.

So you can be weak or you can be strong.

And if you’re strong, you can be Good or you can be evil.

This shouldn’t be a revelation but many of you forget this. The world tells you that gOoD men are sweet, submissive, harmless little spurts, while bAd mEn are dumb, muscly thugs.

Forget that nonsense. Like many dichotomies, it misses the obvious third option:

Be strong and be decent.

Have big muscles and a big heart. Or have an iron will and a soft embrace.

You’re not the stereotype of the Polish military – you’re not pointless and useless. You’re more like the real Polish military – punching about its weight, doing Good in this world and performing the best it can with what it has.

Don’t let obese, blue-haired they/thems and losers trapped by academia tell you what masculinity is. You know what it is: being capable of doing much, then choosing to do Good.

It’s simple enough, really.

And yet no one in the mainstream will tell you this.

It’s almost as though they don’t want you do know this.

It’s almost as though they don’t want you to know that this, right here, if your next step:
