It's quite ironic that the same people who push "trust the science" also shovel vast amounts of pseudo-scientific horse manure into our every day lives.
Not to sound like a curmudgeonly old man (even though I am), affirmations in my day were things like "There's no such thing as a free lunch," "you win some, you lose a bunch," or "ass, gas, or grass...nobody rides for free." Oddly, these made us feel better. I don't need to hear "You are loved;" I need to hear "when the going gets tough the tough get going" or "God helps those who help themselves."
Affirmations? I'm sure there's a good Yiddish adjective to describe what kind of schmuck hands them but only schlemiels believe them
Bravo! The cup of cold dog vomit might be the finest piece of writing I’ve seen today!
