indeed it is. you can almost feel how it corrupts the souls of people
who use it.

i still fear that we need to use some tidbits of that religion though.

otoh it seems to me like NLP is nothing more than a modern day
"translation" of Schopenhauer's "Dialektik" [0] (which afaik was only
a "translation" of greek knowledge). Whatever. "the art of being right
after all" (bad translation, i know) shouldn't have changed that much
over the decades.
