Hygenic Behavior

"Ideo credendum quod incredibile."

[It is believable because it is unbelievable.]

– Robert Burton, "The Anatomy of Melancholy" (1621), Quoting Tertullian.

 

"Freud called rapport transference. He believed it was a revival of the original parent-child relationship. Psychoanalytically-trained hypnosis researchers believed trance obedience was rooted in an unconscious longing for, or regression to, a childhood behavior (or instinctual early programming) of total dependence on, and uncritical love of, the parent figures. Little children can believe anything."

– Carla Emery, in "A Textbook of Hypnotism".

 

"A man with a definite belief always appears bizarre, because he does not change with the world; he has climbed into a fixed star, and the earth whizzes below him like a zoetrope. Millions of mild black-coated men call themselves sane and sensible merely because they always catch the fashionable insanity, because they are hurried into madness after madness by the maelstrom of the world."

– Gilbert K. Chesterton, "Heretics" (1905).
