[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9587299, member: 18"] The methodology being taught was absolutely intentional in design by the time they started spreading it. The people who came up with it knew what they were doing, and they knew perfectly well that they were getting completely insane and impossible results. They actively decided it was better for them and [I]their careers[/I] to destroy lives than accept that kids telling them they were involved with the ritual sacrifice of giraffes and elephants were just making all this up. Then they took large amounts of money to spread this insanity to dim-witted and fanatic people with the power to destroy lives. There's no possibility they weren't aware that this was nonsense. It's like the tobacco companies knowing for decades that cigarettes caused cancer, or oil companies and climate change, whilst they publicly fought tooth and nail to deny those things. The social workers and police who believed it (which was a minority overall, but significant in some regions, especially backwaters with no cities where a chief might have found out and said "Stop this at once!") in the UK were absolutely medieval peasant mentality and with limited ability to understand reality. They shouldn't have been allowed to be cops/social workers (but even now we can't ban cops from being cops just because they're unfit to work with vulnerable people, even though that's 90% of the job - the government is changing the law finally, many decades too late). That they were allowed to teach this to them is like giving matches to toddlers. [/QUOTE]
