5th December 21 - Nudge Psychology

Dr dear Dr: Am I the only journalist who senses the presence of what we call "Nudge Psychology" in the current rush to ban the eating of meat as a result of the Cop-26 Climate Change Conference? And is "Nudge Psychology" just a more benign form of dictatorship in the modern world of ideas?  

Just to explain to the readers of the website what "Nudge Psychology" is - this is the idea more or less implicit till the last moment of a movement to influence the public in a certain direction on the basis of gentle nudges of behaviour arising from the concept of a "secular sin" having been identified as a threat to the public good or the public well-being. The whole concept of the "nudge" is first identified in the early "No Smoking" signs on the New York subway in the 1990s in which activities formerly classed as "recreational" are thence criminalised as secular evils and the public is then "invited" through "Nudge Psychology" to give them up, with a whole raft of incentives and added bonuses and benefits such as the giving out of cinema tickets or the giving out of dinner vouchers with Diner's Card International and the rest, as is presently discussed with the issue of obese and over-weight people in the UK. If we were to identify a raft of these "secular sins" nowadays since Cop-26, they might include the following:

-Smoking cigars especially;

-Drinking alcohol to excess especially sparkling wines while the poor suffer in 3rd worldism;

-Over-eating fast foods from Just Eat corporations;

-Eating luxurious quantities of luxury meats, including Springbok, Ostrich, Pork, and Beef;

-Speeding in the car in residential zones especially;

-Singing and playing music while driving through residences;

-Paper Printing from a computer without need;

-Burning wood at home in a stove;

-Using cash for shopping transactions;

-Burning coal at home in a grate;

-Running a petrol car to the ground;

And so on and so on. These are the new secular sins of the modern world post Cop-26 and Behavioural Science produces the Nudge Psychology designed to quash these sinful behaviours. So just as in the High Middle Ages, Indulgences were banned by the protestant reformers, and sins were confessed to a priest in the secrecy of a confessional, so too in the modern world such secular sins are confessed to a doctor in the utter privacy and secrecy of the GP surgery where penances are administered of a pretty stiff nature and long lectures are given to change this or that behaviour from the Medicaid Nanny State point of view, health care professionals taking liberties to comment on people's intimate behaviours, much like modern conservative MPs banning “snogging under the mistletoe” at Christmas on prime time TV. New lists of secular sins of a futuristic kind are also coming onto the increasing market with longer and longer lists of personal crimes against the plasmakingdom, and these one can describe as "Plasma Sins" that are entirely secular sins, not especially Christian except under the banners of the new Woke Philosophy in most companies and work stations:

-Sending any emails of a forwarding kind;

-Body showing on Instagram;

-Body shaming large-fit or ample models;

-Sending unsolicited emails to "virgin users";

-Circulating the views of others of a third party kind to friends for amusement purposes;

-Revealing other email addresses;

-Adding friends on FB without prior detailed knowledge;

-Tweeting personal philosophy to other Twitternet users without prior warning;

-Spamming inadvertently;

-Counselling young women on careers options without a Medicaid State degree;

-Tweeting about medical issues without a medical degree;

-Tweeting about politics without a political science degree;

-Pressing inadvertent buttons while on line esp amongst the older generation Y;

-Tweeting about social issues without a sociology degree - watch that one;

And so on and so on. The list grows every day, and individual users, even presidents of the free world, have now fallen foul of the Internet Plasmadrome Thought Police from Nigeria to Hungary to Washington chiefly for misdemeanours in the new computer morality crazes sweeping the plasma world - all this manifested in the policy community standards of Big Tech companies around the western side of the globe. These lists of "Plasma Sins" doubled in size after Cop-26 and even Eurasia 21, so these are contemporary indicators of future directions of "Nudge Psychology". This all comes to a head in the future issues generated for public medicaid concerns by The Great Reset, what are now called TGR Sins too. These sins are social and collective in the main. These include the astute slightly cunning observation that all the world's climate change problems are now almost entirely reducible and explainable as a result of over-population problems, in a sudden volte-face for morality though nowadays it is a social and collective morality that is being vaunted alongside a new desire to please the denizens and prophets and priestesses of Woke. So then a sudden return to the philosophy of the Rev Thomas Malthus, anglican population prophet.

And so the new mortal sins are things like having too many kids, always indicated by current population figures such as 2.2 averages and the like, plus the idea that schemas and diagrams are now produced for the sheer physical cost of having kids, on average $500,000 per kid per adult life span from 0 to 18. Soon this will be converted from the "right to replicate" into the "privilege" of having kids and then the possibility imposed of "Government Licences" for "Positive Parenting" in which couples will be asked to make sure kids are politically correct, are prudent and astute when dealing with gender issues, are kind and pleasant to critical race theory, and so on and so on; so basically an official "Licence to Replicate" when young couples have completed government approved courses in having and raising kids, in generating and educating offspring. Not a bad idea in theory, but wait until the Woke Police are knocking. It is a different world now. What with FBI agents calling for parents and taking them away for questioning when they attend School Board Metes and power up their old fashioned opinions of a quaint and victorian nature in the face of large scale modernisation movements among the Local Education Boards of NYC. I kid ye not, the signs are already there on the world wide web. One of the benefits of the various new experiments in Woke Theory under Dr Joe of the One World Government idea emanating from the UN and WHO and UNICEF at New York. So it is a changing world, and not everybody agrees with the old idea that only the Christians and their Holy Spirit shall "declare, define, and determine" what constitutes the old fashioned idea of a “theosophical” or olde worlde “theological” sin. Searching times. Over-population among the working classes beyond 2.2 averages now the new mortal sin. Get ready for your surgery confessionals. Woke.
