Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

The justifications script does not give them justifications, it's aimed at getting them to use what they know about themselves and their situation to create justifications that will get them to act on their desires. Whether this is possible, I'm not sure, but it seems to be working in the models.

I think this is very possible. I once approached a woman who treated me like someone she knew. I find it hard to believe that she mistook me for that person, more likely I simply failed to play along. Who knows where it could have led.

What I'm saying, though, is that I don't know enough about how auras work, and can work, to know if it's reasonable to think that one could tune an aura of energy to trigger a person getting turned on by you AND then influencing them specifically in the right ways to cause them to internally justify why it is a good thing to have sex with you, when they would not have done so otherwise.

Arousal, I very much believe I can trigger. Influencing thought patterns in such a complex way? Seems at the very least like there's a missing link, something I don't yet understand, which makes it hard for me to follow how that is possible.

But as I said, the models are showing that it will have a positive impact on the effectiveness, so I'll go with that.
