Dispassionate discussion of a topic unpairs the neutral stimuli with a negative stimuli

This is probably not a good argument on LW, but a large part of psychoanalysis is built on this.

Also desensitization therapy in CBT, but they would recommend starting with very small dozes of the stimuli. (And I think LW would be at the lower end of the scale.)
