    I hear you amused monkey. I particularly dislike the cognitive trick to blame the victim that it didn't work because they did not believe hard enough.

    I am reminded also of a story of a young boy on a medically supervised starvation diet (this was a diabetic treatment pre-insulin) who was held up as a model patient.

    But the drive to eat and not die is mighty powerful.

    Later investigation revealed that the boy used subterfuge to supplement his diet. Like asking for a canary in his room and stealing its millet.

    It's sad that these people are trying to claim this is a thing when there are millions of people starving in the world. If we could live off air, we wouldn't have people starving to death.

    Apparently it's only possible if you believe it's possible, otherwise is doesn't work. Paraphrasing what he actually said.

    Can I believe that a million dollars will be deposited into my bank account tonight? I'm all for the "power of belief" in that case.
