How do you sleep at night? KPFK fund drive was pitching superfood with enzymes and protein and nutrition. One of them had herbs that were thousands of years old. Id like to believe the herbs have been around a lot longer than that, but botany isnt my field. The guy pitching, who makes it, even confused glycogen and glycerin at one point. Lots of buzzwords and trite usage back and forth, trying to squeeze one more dollar out of the suckers that wouldnt know algae from seaweed or black mold, as long as it is alternative to western medicine and makes them feel that someone is doing something for them, scratching their itch for recognition of their issues. On the other hand, there was a neuroscientist pitching some relaxation and concentration self-help recordings and it was totally different. He even acknowledged that people first consider his stuff psychobabble, until he takes them through an exercise and then they get where he is coming from. His use of language and what he said, and reference to known sources, all set him apart from the other pitchers, and even the host. And in just a few words he was able to back up what he said, and thereby grant credence to what he said later. He might still be a con, but he was a good one, and might do some good for the listeners even through placebo effect.
