I know what you mean, but I think that religious fundamentalism and conspiracy hypothesis (theory implies it's been tested) is a product of this kind of irrational thought. I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but, we need to nip this irrational behavior in the bud.

Maybe you would. Everyone is slightly different, and I'm sure plenty of people need the lie. Again, all I'm saying is its pretty harmless, in comparison to something like religion fundamentalism or conspiracy theories.

I think that you could get a more positive experience from walking on fire, without having to fool yourself into thinking that your mind somehow changed your feet.

You're right, but no amount of preparation can withstand my acetylene torch challenge. The temperature can be up to 4000 °C. That'll turn Tolly Burkan's tootsies to ash in seconds.

As skepticism is required, this seems pretty harmless. If these people believe that their mindset helped them, and this gives them the confidence to be successful in life, where's the harm? The metaphor isn't going to work if the people think it's just a metaphor.

There is a proved theory of what happens. It is called lydon fross, or laydon frost, something like that, can't pronounce it enough to spell it, to google it. Maybe somebody can help. Anyway, the theory is that if it is hot enough, the heat causes an instant evaporation of moisture which creates a barrier to protect the skin. This is how we cook pancakes. We use a drops of water to test for heat, when they dance on the pan, the evaporation has taken place and the barrier has been created. |
