Hey guys, I was wondering: do any of you happen to know if there's such a thing as companies that are specifically designed and created to scam people out of their money with therapy? I mean, is it particularly common?

I know that there's people who will immediately say that all of therapy is one big scam, and that the effectiveness of therapy relies largely on patients' faith that it will work. So therapy can be just as effective as anything else that people have faith on, whether it be: prayer, homeopathy, witchcraft, placebos, meditation, etc.

But are there companies in which the therapists are all fully aware that the "therapy treatment" they offer is complete and utter bullshit?

I ask because I've recently begun what is apparently referred to as "Cognitive Behavioral Therapy" and so far paid $600 for 6 sessions (it was recommended that I go to this so-called "therapy" for a total a six months, so that would be about 24 sessions in total... amounting to about $2,400)... but the whole thing just feels like bullshit to me. And I think that my therapist may also be fully aware that it's all bullshit and that I'm being scammed out of my money real good. Or maybe it's because of compassion fatigue. Maybe they just stopped giving a fuck long ago.

What do you guys think?

Today I found out about the "Photic sneeze reflex", and was suprised to hear 18-35% of people apparently sneeze from seeing bright lights.
I'm looking to collect some data, how many of you guys sneeze when you see a bright light?

Ever wonder why there have been no new scientific discoveries or inventions of any worth over the past few decades?

It's because this book killed science and the /sci/cucks still can't admit it.

College is such a fucking scam.

What the fuck is the point of making people take classes like Physics and Calc 2?

Physics is literally just applying algebra.
Calc 2 is applying Calc.

Both concepts a 7th grader can understand with ease.

Why the FUCK do I have to pay for this garbage? So that some fat fuck can get his pay check after regurgitating his shit at me at a meandering rate so all the fucking retards in my class understand it?

The education system as a whole needs to reformed because its all shit that doesn't make you a better person or enrich your life. It just wastes your fucking time and money doing uninspired shit you will never use or care about for the rest of your life.

I did some independent research these past couple months /sci/.

If i go a day or two without showering, my natural musk will start to be more noticeable (obviously), and it's on these days I'll be more self concious about my scent. However, i often will have more success speaking to women on these days and will even get "you smell good" remarks more often.

So i decided to test it.

I had an old cologne bottle laying around that i put through the dishwasher 5 times to clean out any leftover fragrance.
My gym has a sauna that i visited three times a week during this research. I would collect any sweat from my genitals that would build up in the sauna, until i had enough sweat to fill the cologne bottle with my eau de nuts (it wasnt that large a bottle).

I then would approach women in public (bars, school, gym, mostly), and try to strike conversation and get phone numbers. I did this over the course of a month. Showering daily i would have the following weekly constraints:

>monday and tuesday, no fragrance
>wednesday and thursday one spritz on my neck
>friday, one spritz on neck, one on each wrist
>weekend, above, plus armpits and chest coverage.

I had interesting results. I found that ON AVERAGE, the more pheromone juice i wore, the more women wanted to talk to me, and the easier it was to get a phone number
There were certainly outliers. A few women were repulsed by my scent, especially on the weekends when i wore the most. I also had a few moderate successes early in the week without any fragrance.

Discuss?
