pjeby has provided very little data. He’s claimed that his techniques work. He’s described them in terms that (1) are supremely vague about what he actually does, and (2) seem to imply that he has gained the ability to change all sorts of things about the behaviour of the unconscious bits of his brain more or less at will.
There have been other people and groups that have made similar claims about their techniques. For instance, the Scientologists (though their claims about what they can do are more outlandish than pjeby’s).
None of this means that pjeby is wrong, still less that he’s not being honest with us: but it means that an appeal to “pjeby’s data” is a bit naive. All we have so far—unless there are gems hidden in threads I haven’t read, which of course there might be—are his claims.
