I do not get all my information from Fornits. I got it from Experience. Unfortunate experience. Then, I got more experience working at runaway shelters... add a bit of education on emotional/child development, psychology (some good, a lot of BS), and pedagogy.... and then throw Fornits into the mix. Most people here have minds, raped or not. So, yes, I can discern what is meaningful or not. I also have read many useful articles here that have evolved my perspectives, both politically and socio-culturally. The articles have provided a nice counter to many of my more conventional beliefs. These conventional views are EVERYWHERE so it is worthwhile to visit a place that challenges accepted notions. (Like all drug treatment is "good" and any place that helps "troubled teens" is credible and AA is the Only Way, and White Men can't jump, and Jesus Saves.)
What is meaningful is sharing experiences. What is not meaningful is hearing from someone whose heart is detached from his body.
I know a lot of survivors who have never visited Fornits and view CEDU as a cult but remain friends with those who take a different view simply because it was a very singular shared experience. They've all been abducted by aliens, so they all understand Twilight Zone in a way "civilians" don't.
But - just because people rationalize the program does not mean it is good. I know a lot of people who insist Cedu "saved" them even when their lives do not testify to that. I know others who HATE Cedu who are successful. And there are others who lock it in a box. They did not like it or see its value, but they will not open Pandora's box. They want to leave it in the past, unexamined. That's fine, too. I needed to examine.
Whatever, the fact is you remain on this site. It is odd... you spend A LOT of time here. If you are a paid pro program tool, and really believe this site is for losers, why visit it? Obviously, if Fornits is for losers, it is not a threat to your beloved programs, so why not spend your time amongst your people, Cultists, KoolAid Drinkers, and Profiteers?
