Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked

Posted by timothy on from the so-hard-to-get-worked-up-about dept.

darkonc writes "The CBC is reporting that about 15 copies of "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" were accidently sold at a 'Great Canadien Superstore' in a suburb of Vancouver BC. The Canadian Distributor, Raincoast Books managed to get an injunction prohibiting the people who recieved the books from talking about them and demanding that they return the books to Raincoast until Friday. To add a carrot to the stick, raincoast is offering various goodies including a signed bookplate."

    "Its pretty simple psychology they are using. Humans desire that which cannot be had, and if this book is being protected by the CIA, FBI, and Mafia, then it must be the greatest book ever."

    Just as Psychology is a pseudo-science, which means it is fake science, so is the fact that your 'fact' that 'humans always desire that which cannot be had' is not a fact at all. In your very specific example, your statement may work out for your desired result, but it is certainly not a universal statement. For example, in many cases, once you obtain that which you could not previously have it turns out to be as good as you wanted it to be or better. Then you have another human trait which can be called 'contentment' and other similiar terms in which no other item can give you as much satisfaction or desire as the one you already have. Even though you may have curiosity towards other items, there is not a desire to possess other items in replacement of the one you already have.

    And another point, is curiosity of the unknown a bad thing? Can't it simply be a neutral and natural reaction for the curious mind?

    It is ridiculous that anyone states anything from Pyschology as a fact whatsoever.
