今天和人吵起来:吸引力法则究竟是否是洗脑?
我说不是。推理如下：
首先是洗脑的定义：
Mind control(also known asbrainwashing,reeducation,coercive persuasion,thought control, orthought reform) is a theoretical indoctrination process which results in "an impairment of autonomy, an inability to think independently, and a disruption of beliefs and affiliations. In this context, brainwashing refers to the involuntary reeducation of basic beliefs and values". (wikipedia)
洗脑本质的含义是：用一切手段将符合自己利益的错误虚假的认识与思想去灌输给他人。（baidupedia)
Ok,here comes the quesiton. what is the fundamental property(properties) that distinguishes brainwashing from other concepts?
after some careful investigation and study, it can be concluded that the definations of brainwash can be grouped into two different scopes which differ from each other remarkedly. taking the narrow sense of brainwash, it can be concluded that, under this context, "being compulsory" is the fundamental property of brainwash.
here comes the defination of law of attraction.
in this sence, i have also conducted some web searching and found some material i had never had the slightest understanding of.
Laws of attraction, a concept in science
Law of attraction (New Thought), a philosophical concept in New Thought
these two different concepts are of different realms: one science, one philosophy.
it never occured to me to have such situation as the defination of a familiar concept could be so different under different realms.
Ok...here comes the reasoning.
in the context of a debating, the law of attraction is certainly under the realm of not science, but of philo. so...forgive me for being lazy not to paste the link...
by comparing two different concepts, it is important to compare the innotations and connotations of each of the two concepts.
since we have concluded that the fundamental property of brainwash is its compulsiveness, according to the fallacious inference. if it can be infered that the law of attraction does not in any sense being compulsory, then it can be concluded that the law of attraction is not brainwash, of at least not its subordinates.
well...clearly enough, not even a single of the law of attraction is compulsory.
by the reasoning of fallacious inference, it can be safely concluded that the law of attraction is different from brainwash.
end of reasoning.

in the disscussion involving logic, i still prefer english rather than chinese...if i write in chinese, it would make my sentences look dull and out of liveliness which i found so much love in.
i recently enrolled into a qq group and inevitably got messed up into some debates. they are all expressing their own ideas without careful scrutiny over the evidence let alone the reasoning. i hate to be a fool, or surrounded by a bunch of contemptuous fools who respect not true knowledge but authorization while claiming to be democratic and independent. what a flock!
so much for gibberish.
gonna have a nice nap.
