The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

My SLE daughter is breaking up with her SLI boyfriend. I can hear him crying and I feel so bad for him. I've been through a break up with an SLE. Makes me want to blast this song. Poor Fe PoLR guy.

YouTube suggested this amazing music
I don't understand contemporary art music very well, but I am still trying. But Penderecki's 2:nd symphony from 1979-1980 I really enjoy. It's amazing. It's called "Christmas symphony" because you can hear a melody that sounds like "Stille Nacht" throughout the symphony. First time at 3:50.
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
(Jung on Si)
Yeah, I'm in this mood today.
I read in a book that music can reduce your efficiency by 20%

I rember my son coming back from his dad's house and blasting this song. He told me his ESI step mom called him stupid because he said we're living in the 21st century. She was under the impression we're still in the 20th.
I always use ten dollar words when talking to his dad just to fuck with him.
My son is now his dad's best friend.
