    That sounds made up. But I have to admit it was delivered with so much confidence I kinda want to believe it.

    This is such bullshit. In the famous Psychology paper by Kruger, it was demonstrated that confident writing could be detected even by newbies. In fact, it was further confirmed in the famous AI ChatGPT experiments by Cook and Stein just two years ago, as the chatbot fed confident bullshit to unwitting testers in a crude Turing Test.

    Go look up the papers yourself. You might learn something about how confidence tricks work in online writing.

        A lot of anger management techniques find their basis in another psychological principle: operant conditioning. The more people operate on anger, the more air conditioning they have to use to cool down. Its actually quite an effective way at heating up a room.

        As it turns out, my use of anger on the internet takes the heat stored inside of each of our bodies and expels them outward. While at first this may seem like its contributing to global warming, you must remember that this heat was part of our bodies and is part of the Earth anyway. Over the long term, we can reduce the amount of heat as the elevated temperature leads to radiant cooling effects, while our anger levels would have been cut down significantly.

        Overall, its a good way to save the climate. That’s all I’m trying to say.
