the folks at Total Choice hosting were nice and fixed this the moment I asked. So here’s some pictures of the part I’m making at IMTS.

it’s a compass, a little thick-pocketwatch sized deal that has a magnifying glass in it’s lid.

This is a view showing it open

and here is a picture of the actual componenents next to an assembled sample.

Or the power thereof.

You can find a body of evidence that suggests that warts are controlled not in the skin but in the head. Doctors are telling kids to imagine their warts away, and it seems to work. I remember a tv program- it may have been “The Body in Question” with Dr Johnathon miller- which featured a child who was covered in warts, and the dr gave him post hypnotic suggestion that the warts would go away- but only on one forearm. In short order , the suggestion worked. The same is true in reverse, voodoo believers and even “normal” modern folks have the damnedest things happen to them, just because they “believe” it is happening- believing a voodoo spell will kill you, actually DYING because you have liver cancer- but not bad enough to kill you! or damned near dying because you thought you OD’ on antidepressants but which were actually placebos.

There was a news story when I was a kid, of a guy who had accidentally gotten trapped in a reefer car on a train from Chicago to- I think it was St Louis. The reefer was full of beef on the way up. but it was deadheading,. he was found frozen to death at his destination, but the reefer unit on the car had broken down; it was a comfy 74 in the car. Autopsy showed clear signs of death due to exposure.

belief- as i’ve said before– is just trouble. Dying because you believe you’re dying?

This sort of thing explains a good deal, actually. Leftist beliefs that the world is just so, in the face of overwhelming facts, are what allow them to overlook the warts that just won’t go away, and they are using their beliefs to cause us all a cancer that- while it’s not real in the ordinary sense of the word- will kill us all nonetheless.

The power of the human mind to cure itself- or kill itself- or adhere to asinine ideas in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary- is a testament to the versatility of the Creator- and if psychiatry were treated as- you know, an actual science, instead of freudian horseshit and professional handholding for hire, we might learn how to tap into some pretty amazing powers, maybe even cure the mental illness that infests people like Nancy P and the Wingnuthead in chief.
