I feel like "Law of Attraction" is just a magical version of believing in yourself and having faith in the future.

Never turn your frontal lobe off. Always be able to critically think at all costs.

Positive thinking and picturing out the life you want leading to motivation to work hard on it in itself is not bad and it works on many people. My problem with these are people who take advantage of people who are trying to turn their lives around and be better by taking their hard earned money and gaslighting them into action. No one can really truly change you but yourself.

I often come back to this video to remind myself of the dangers of this concept. I grew up with someone who raised me on this for a majority of my life. Even to the point that when I began having mental health issues that affected me physically, "thinking positive" was the surefire only way to "cure" me. I have the help I need and still consider myself quite optimistic, though my advice to anyone who's offered a "one and only way" out, proceed with caution and trust your intuition as to whether it's personally working for you or not. You know what's best for you.

19:40 I don't know, I used to believe in it but now I feel negative emotions have their place as well. Suppressing them just is bad in every level and you should embrace your negative emotions just as much as your positive emotions. If I hurt someone I will allow myself to feel guilt over it, if someone I love dies I will allow myself to feel mourning for them, if something big is coming up I will allow myself to be nervous about it. That kind of is what made discarding the law of attraction so liberating to me. It is allowing myself to feel freely again.

I was so into this and I nearly ended up in a highly abusive cult. I couldn't see the truth until I nearly lost my life. It took years to unravel the truth from the lies.

Another problem I see with the fundamental “philosophy” behind the LOA is that it profoundly encourages people to try and achieve their goals only by thinking and not actually acting. Apart from being dangerously individualistic and relativistic. When I was young and impressionable a friend showed me the film The Secret and we believed it all: my mental architecture was fully reorganized by this belief system and I started trying to get the things I wanted by obsessively thinking about them (with all the guilt issues you very accurately comment), especially the love of a girl I liked (I also thought much about her because I liked her 🤣 obviously). But getting to the ultimate consequences of this philosophy, it became that I was the center of the universe (like all reality was my subjective universe) and as that I had the right to get what I wanted, and only by thinking about those things. I had the right to get this girl, regardless of her own free will and preferences. In this universe she owed to submit to me, if I thought enough and correctly about her to make the law of attraction work. Ultimately, believing in the law of attraction is believing one has the right to anything and anybody, and only by thinking and desiring (its a bit childish in that aspect). You don’t need to make real efforts, you don’t need to stick to a moral law. (Sorry for bad English)

It can be very dangerous telling people it’s their fault for xyz. Some things are in your control and there are many things completely out of your control

I am sending this to Netflix. See you in mainstream production !!

As someone who was passively open minded about this - I would hear people get excited about it, then become excited about it myself but the next day make zero changes and by the end of the week, completely forget everything I heard (lol), I found what you shared to be interesting and it makes sense. I have no idea how anyone can sustain toxic positivity. The guilt for feeling anger or any other negative emotion would be horrible. Imagine thinking that you’ll lose your big fortune because you hate your job or your boss. Talk about a pressure cooker.

Hey! I searched this up as my Aunt, who lives with me, is currently blasting the audio books of The Secret. I have sat and listened to it out of frustration and plea that my Aunt would recognize that she is successful because of her ability rather than these "frequencies." It does not help that these deviants use out-of-context/false quotes and mystic, transcendence type music behind all their one-liners! Good god, it's incredibly annoying! A criticism that came to mind after watching your overview is this: If you can manifest things such as money by changing your frequency, would that mean money is inherent within the universe? You do not need to think long to recognize that currency is strictly human. Also, that bit with the man saying that logic is holding us back is disturbing! You're taking out the one tool for any sort of critical thinking and rational, it genuinely gives me Warhammer 40k vibes.

The market sells what lacks the most "hope".

I simply can't believe this is from a YouTuber! This has higher production value than most documentary style vids I see on TV!

This is an amazing one, thank you !!  Being myself a physicist, (I studied theoretical physics and quantum mechanics), it always drives me insane when I bump into people justifying their nonsense with pseudoscience, borrowing some superficial jargon from theoretical physics. I think that some "populizers of science" are also to blame to some degree, as they often try to over-simplify some of the most complex concepts of theoretical physics, therefore, some people take juste the superficial/philosophical representation of the concepts, thinking that they now "understand" quantum physics and quantum theory. I think I am going to share your video every time I get into a debate about LOA instead of wasting my time and energy (no pun intended) trying to explain things to them.
