Interesting.
I've glanced at that site before and its metaphors have the ring of truthiness (in a non-pejorative sense) about them; the programming metaphors and the focus on subconscious mechanisms seem to resonate with the way I already think about how my own brain works.
Couldn't that be more succinctly stated as "its metaphors have the ring of truth about them"?
Maybe, but a lot of Freud's metaphors had/have a similar ring.
Fair enough!
