Love, relationships, seduction, etc. (emphasis on psychology first, sociology second, but admitting fiction as a valid information source.)
It's certainly ironic that I am pursuing an antagonism relative to this subject but the antagonism started after I started studying it!
(It's more contradictory than you think... Whether you transmit emotions by osmosis or physical synchronization, plant your feelings like seeds, or pack them into balls and throw them at people to hit them like lightning bolts you find it doesn't matter if your feelings are 30% hostile, 10% hostile, 1% hostile, or 0.01% hostile... you drive somebody out and the only consolation you have is that they can never quite articulate what you did. I'd like to think that I use that antagonism as a "probe" or a "lightning rod" to keep ahead of those feelings.)
I've got no interest in being a trainer on this subject so I certainly don't need to teach it, but being able to "talk a good game" helps me use discursive reasoning to align myself morally (as a practitioner I really can make the world a better place.) Also like it or not I am always having to explain why I am doing something that seems incomprehensible... Myself "talking a good game" has sometimes convinced me completely of things I didn't really believe also so it helps me as a practitioner.
