I keep asking you - Markus, why are you so scared of trying it out?

Is it because of this:

even if plenty of good things happen in your life, there still can't be any scientific proof that LOA caused these things, and therefore the experiment would still be pointless?

Let me allay your fears then. If that happens, what's the harm? At that time, you could jolly well just sit back and enjoy all those good things. You could still say, "Okay, experiment over, and I still choose to disbelieve LOA because none of these good things can be scientifically proven to have been created by LOA."

So your safe, logical, conventional worldview will still be preserved, won't it?

Let's say that LOA is just a "motivational strategy", as you put it. Well, since so many people say that this "motivational strategy" has done wonders for them, why don't you just try it out? At the end of it, you could still tell yourself, "Oh, there's no magic to it, it's just a motivational strategy, albeit a very good one." And once again, your safe, logical, conventional worldview would still be preserved, won't it?

So why don't you just try it out?

There seems to be nothing much to lose, and potentially so much to gain. For example, you might end up learning a very useful "motivational strategy".

You are such a logical, rational person. Go through my reasoning above. Tell me why you shouldn't follow my suggestion as outlined above.

Ahhhh. I know why.

You. Are. Afraid.

... that you might discover a very strange new universe.

Chicken.
