Myths

[From Rick Marken (930618.1300)]

Dag Forssell (930618.1200) --

Rick, you are seconding my motion of a few days ago:

I realized it right after I pressed the "Send" button.

How can I (we) go about collecting this catalog of *facts* or myths
type 2, make sense of it and see if it appears useful to promote PCT?

I think a current Intro Psychology text would be a gold mine. I have
only one old one on the shelf but I'll check it out. Pop psych texts
should be good too. I'll take a look through the "10 Habits of effective
people" book.

Most health fad books will have tons of stuff -- just about everything
they say is a myth. My dad regularly provides me with news of the
latest, unpronouncable chemical variable that we are supposed
to control (open loop, of course) in order to live to be 250 (my dad,
a retired dentist, spends his days varying his eating patterns in order
to control variables that he cannot perceive; I sent him a copy of
my book but it doesn't seem to have become particularly dog-eared;
once an open-looper, always an open looper).

I once drove Bill to the airport on a Los Angeles freeway.

I'm glad I kept him on surface streets!

Best

Rick
