I love Werner. He's such an engaging lunatic.

Mordy, Friday, 11 May 2012 19:26 (twelve years ago) link

This is probably the best bit form the interview:

And then he says: “Look, I’m going to do something with you we do in the training. I’m going to ask you where you are, and you are going to say, ‘Here.’ ”

So we do this, and then he asks: “And you are always here, right?”

No, I say, I’ve never been here before. He looks annoyed.

“But you are here. Where you are, Lucy, this object you call Lucy, is here.”

I nod.

“And where Werner is, is there.”

I agree.

“You do see me, do you not? Where is Lucy-seeing-Werner happening?”

On the back of my retina, I say. He shakes his head.

“What you told me is your theory about seeing. I want to know where you seeing Werner is happening. Point.”

I duly point to my brain.

“You have no idea what’s in there, woman!” Erhard jabs an angry finger in my direction. “Godammit, Susie, your seeing Werner is happening where Werner is.”

He's sick of the Swiss. He don't like em. (Austerity Ponies), Friday, 11 May 2012 19:40 (twelve years ago) link

"It’s really critical," Keuilian says, "that you either go to these seminars or somehow find a way to penetrate their knowledge base because each of them are good at one thing. This is a pretty small community, Internet Marketing, a pretty weird subculture. Everybody knows each other, they all lean on each other’s strength to better their business, and we found that the common denominator amongst all these guys is they’re unemployable.”

[...]

“It’s the same learning disability," he continues. "They lose interest in things quickly. It was interesting to interview them and talk to them and say... you all have the same profile here. And as I see new, up-and-coming internet marketers coming into the industry, no matter what their niche is, they kind of fit into that.”

the whole article is just o_O
i liked this quote that comes before the "learning disability" part too:
"This is a pretty small community, Internet Marketing, a pretty weird subculture. Everybody knows each other, they all lean on each other’s strength to better their business, and we found that the common denominator amongst all these guys is they’re unemployable.”

“Are you ready to learn how to build massive lists and bullet-proof launches?” he bellows at the crowd. Not interested? How about “super-targeted, geo-local pay-per-click?”

I hope they aren't charging by the hyphen.

When I was in high school I thought it would be cool to start a cult and rake in suckers' money, but the huge flaw in the plan was always that I'd have to be able to keep a straight face while shoveling all the pulled-from-my-ass dogma. Plus, I'd have to spend all my time in the company of people who genuinely believed what I knew to be utter bullshit. So I have a weird kind of respect for these people, because they're much better at that stuff than I could ever be. Either that or they believe their own bullshit, in which case...I guess I pity them while envying them the money they've made?

Q. What if I become sexually aroused during my session?
A. Don't worry, it happens! Although sexual activity is not permitted, arousal is perfectly normal and should not make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Will Chave (Hurting 2), Friday, 13 July 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago) link

guys

ATTENTION: All you rule-breakers, you misfits and troublemakers - all you free spirits and pioneers - all you visionaries and non-conformists ...

Everything that the establishment has told you is wrong with you - is actually what's right with you.

You see things others don't. You are hardwired to change the world. Unlike 9 out of 10 people - your mind is irrepressible - and this threatens authority. You were born to be a revolutionary.

You can't stand rules because in your heart you know there's a better way.

You have strengths dangerous to the establishment - and it wants them eliminated, So your whole life you've been told your strengths were weaknesses - Now I'm telling you otherwise.
