So some "cult experts" said something like that some people believe that people who memorized religious texts have special powers and that it is a way to achieve mystical manipulation among Robert Jay Lifton points
I guesx some people are too stupid to realize that it is possible to memorize sentences
Turd Flinging Monkey said something like hat some stupid people believe beung smart is like a magic super power
There are many Muslims that memorize the Quran but are not smart in other areas
@DMA @LudditeMan @Zergling_man
My point is not about how great the leaders memory is but how stupid some people are if they would blindly obey soneone just because that person memorized things
I think we have greatly underestimated the stupidity of the average person and that it will be helpful to have a realistic perspective and make better choices if we understand how stupid the average person is
Sadly we might have to meet them at their level to influence the behavior of the masses
@Zergling_man
So Turd Flinging Monkey was explaining sonething like that stupid people imagine smart people to have super powers to be able to do things that smart people can not do
For example instead of having a specific methodology and steps to know what they know
Stupid people imagine smart people just automaticly knowing things without having to go through specific steps to figure it out
I think what he meant by super or magic power is contextually different than what you meant
"swat selects for INTJ and a handful of INTP.
Or other way round I forget.
This is the other reason I recommend it."
What is swat?
looks like stuff from fallout game series
@LudditeMan @Zergling_man
Let me clarify further in case I did not explain well enough
Some followers will believe a leader has super powers because the leader memorized religious texts and then the followers will start believing whatever the leader says or does simply because they memorized the texts
But most people if they put in the effort could memorize texts so that does not mean they have super powers because it is sonething most people could do if they put in the effort
