>>423312388Excellent post illustrating a couple of psychological techniques.
>DO NOT BUY SILVER1. All uppercase, most readers interpret that as yelling.
2. The human brain doesn't directly perceive negation, it perceives the positive first, then reverses it. ie, Do NOT visualize a green elephant.
3. The "DO NOT" admonition provokes people with a polarity response to do the opposite.
4. The repetition line after line reinforces the effect.
Totally agree. people reading this are advised that whatever you do, YOU SHOULD NOT BUY ANY SILVER AT ALL, NOT EVEN A TINY PIECE. The last thing you want to do his hold a piece of silver in your hand, looking at it, feeling its weight, the dense solid feel as you toss it slightly and feel it thunk back into your hand, imagining keeping it in your pocket as you go through your day, taking it out periodically and looking at it, showing it to girls.
You certainly do NOT want to get a silver round and flip it in the air, hearing that distinctive ping sound, heard all too often in cowboy movies.
