Who cares if it matters to you or not?
It is just another Fact that you could never refute.
PEACEGIRL: It isn't even about whether this knowledge was known or not. It's about NOW. No one has brought this discovery to light, which is all that matters Age.
1. I am pretty sure you could find other things that matter.
PEACEGIRL: Um, I think this is pretty important.
2. As I have already pointed out 'this discovery' was already known, by others, therefore it has already been brought to light.
PEACEGIRL: It has not been brought to light.
AGE: As "flashdangerpants" has already enlightened you 'this discovery' is not some thing that is really that important nor that really matters. But, as always, you are absolutely free to look at and see things in absolutely any way that you would like to.
PEACEGIRL: And so are you. I'm not here to persuade you that this is a real discovery. It's exhausting.

Actually, any money made would be used for promoting the book.
AGE: Look, once again, if the book was as good and as informative as you would like to believe it is, then it would have already 'taken off', as they say. That the book appears to be of no real interest to people, in the days when this is being written, should tell you some thing.
PEACEGIRL: He never had a chance to market the book other than his meager effort to advertise in the N.Y. Times, which cost him a fortune. He got some interest in a few less expensive ads, but it was not his time. He had to use a Vanity Press. The publishing giants at the time would have known that this work was not going to appeal to the masses.

My hands are tied right now.
AGE: Then how are you writing what you did. And, why do you not get some one to untie your hands?
PEACEGIRL: I'm doing the best I can with the resources I have.

That's why I'm hoping ChatGpt will open doors for me. Even then, it will cost money for an upgrade.
AGE: Have you considered instead of telling 'us', here, in a forum of a relatively no amount of no ones, you actually just went and did what you tell 'us' you are 'hoping for'?
AGE: I'm doing both. Since I've been here a while, I wanted to share how I'm progressing, which is why I posted the Press Release.

Once again, I want to promote this book. It takes money, Age.
AGE: If the book was good and useful, then it does not need promoting. It would promote itself, if it, really, was worthy.
PEACEGIRL: That's what I'm hoping with the help of AI. People have to know about it before it can promote itself.

I have put lots of time, effort, and money into this endeavor because I know how important it is. Of course, it would be nice if I didn't have to worry about paying for groceries or paying the rent, like so many, but the goal was never about money. Your suspicion is unwarranted.
AGE: If the goal was, really, never about money, then do not sell the book and just give it away.
LOL will not give it away to just a relatively nothing number of people, here, in this forum. you, still, want to make money off of these 'hand full of people'.
PEACEGIRL: I never said it was never about making money. I said it's not the primary reason. Yes, I'd like to be compensated for the work I put into this, or at least break even.
peacegirl wrote: ↑Fri Oct 31, 2025 9:24 pm
I charged $1 for a 600-page book, and no one gave a damn.
AGE: If you got just $1 from five million people, then this may well be far more money then you would have got from working your whole life.
PEACEGIRL: Do you know how incredible that would be, not for me, but for everyone? You seem fixated on money, as if money would destroy my credibility. Nope.
Age: If you really want people to 'give a damn', as you put it, then just give them 'those writings', which are not even yours. Some can imagine and would say, ' "your" daddy is rolling in its grave right now '.
PEACEGIRL: My father would be tickled pink that I helped to keep his life's work alive. I am not begging anyone to read the book. And I'm not going to stoop that low to prove that this book is worth reading. Even if people are skeptical and unsure whether the knowledge is sound, they will still gain something from it. I can guarantee you that.

To say that after 20 years of hard work compiling his 6 books, and spending a lot of money with formatters and other expenses, I shouldn't make a cent?
AGE: Why did you put a question mark at the end of your statement, here?
PEACEGIRL: I was asking you why it would bother you if I made even a penny. That was a question which requires a question mark.
peacegirl wrote: ↑Fri Oct 31, 2025 9:24 pm
Why are you creating a different standard for me just because I have knowledge that will change the world?
AGE: But 'I' am not creating a different standard, for 'you'.
PEACEGIRL: Yes you are. You are harping on this. Do you have a grudge against everyone who makes money from their product or service?
AGE: If absolutely any one who has absolutely any knowledge, which they believe is for the betterment of 'the world', then holding 'that knowledge' back, and demanding money in exchange for 'that knowledge' is Wrong in any one's standard, to me.

FYI, making a book free (Amazon won't even allow free books unless you're doing one of their promotions) would cheapen the book.
AGE: you can 'try to' justify or reason absolutely any thing, and you will justify and reason some things to "yourself". But, only what is 'just' and 'reasonable' to every one can be justified and reasoned.
PEACEGIRL: It's interesting that you brought this up because the entire book is about how, under the changed conditions, we will be unable to justify hurting others or coming up with excuses that allow one to justify an action that is a hurt. You may think I should work and not get paid, I don't, and I don't think I have to justify it either, just because the work is important. You think that if I don't give the book away, it means I'm out fo money. To repeat what you said: if I made money selling the book at $1, it would take . You're wrong. I use Amazon. I could not give the book away, even if I wanted to, and I'm not leaving Amazon.
AGE: If you believe, for example, just presenting the whole book, here, in this forum, for free, to the Truly insignificant amount of people, here, would so-call 'cheapen the book', then just maybe you have 'cheapened' you, or the book, so much, "yourself".
PEACEGIRL: No, that's in competition with Amazon, and I can't do that.
peacegirl wrote: ↑Fri Oct 31, 2025 9:24 pm
That's how the human mind works.
AGE: But, there is no such thing as the 'human mind'.
Are you not yet aware of 'this discovery'?
If no, then if you give me some money, then I will provide you with 'the writings' about 'this discovery'.
But, if you do not, then 'this discovery', which helps in creating the 'golden world' will remain in obscurity.
PEACEGIRL: I can't help that this is how you interpret my motives. And think about this. If 5 million people bought the book for $1, imagine what it will do for the world if 5 million people bought the book. All you are thinking about is that I would make a lot of money. I would deserve it and use it to continue my plan on promoting my other book, which also came from this knowledge.

The more expensive something is, the more valuable it becomes in the eyes of the buyer.
AGE: And, here, is another prime example of just how much 'these people', back when this was being written, had been manipulated, fooled, tricked, and deceived by the devil, and evil, itself.
PEACEGIRL: People in every age have been manipulated, fooled, tricked, and deceived, and still are.
AGE: Imagine having being so indoctrinated to believe that only when you hand over 'more money', to others, some thing becomes so-called 'valuable'.
PEACEGIRL: That is how it is. I didn't make it up.
Marketing placebo effect (AI)
The Psychology Behind Why We Prefer Expensive Things
The tendency to value expensive items over cheaper ones is often attributed to the marketing placebo effect. This effect suggests that the perception of quality and value is influenced by the price of a product. Research indicates that consumers are more likely to enjoy and prefer pricier products, as they associate higher prices with better quality and satisfaction. This preference can be seen in various contexts, such as wine tasting, where participants tend to rate more expensive wines as tasting better than their cheaper counterparts. The brain activity associated with reward and motivation also shows increased activity with higher prices, further reinforcing the idea that cost is a significant factor in our perception of value.
Study Finds
Additionally, the scarcity effect plays a role in how we value items. When something is perceived as rare or limited in availability, its desirability increases, even if nothing else about it has changed. This principle applies not only to physical goods but also to time, opportunities, and even relationships, as exclusive clubs or elite memberships use scarcity to create demand.
SciTechDaily
The scarcity principle is rooted in psychology and economics, suggesting that people place higher value on objects, experiences, or opportunities that are scarce or limited in availability. This principle can manipulate our perception of value in subtle ways, often pushing us to act faster or make decisions we might not otherwise consider.
SciTechDaily
In summary, the combination of the marketing placebo effect, the scarcity effect, and the scarcity principle all contribute to the psychological phenomenon where people feel that the more costly something is, the more valuable it must be. This behavior can lead to irrational decision-making and influence our purchasing habits significantly.

And yes, I sleep fine at night because my conscience is clear.
AGE: So to do the so-called world "leaders" who start wars and kill absolutely innocent human beings most likely say and claim the 'same thing', but to "themselves" only, as well.
PEACEGIRL: Because they feel justified in what they are doing. This is covered in the book and how to prevent it.
AGE: Claiming, 'my conscience is clear', can be aligned with the "dunning-kruger" effect.
That is, the more you claim you know, are clear, the further away you are from the actual Truth.
PEACEGIRL: The fact that I claim this is a true discovery makes you uncomfortable. I'm sorry about that. This is not the "dunning'kruger" effect.
