Where Scientology' ends: medical science begins. etc. etc.<br /><br />Sadly, this shameful list of tragicomic peudo-sciences isn't going to end, because each human generation falsely believes itself to be far more clever (and sophisticated) than previous generations. <br /><br />If anything, completely the reverse has been the case.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-67573766673902828232015-07-21T09:10:22.898+02:002015-07-21T09:10:22.898+02:00David, Let's hope that you are right. I would ...David, Let's hope that you are right. I would hope that people would become more enlightened by the dissemination of information in general. People still hold to ideas that are archaic by modern standards. An examination of social media soon proves that such enlightenment isn't always evident. Non-rational belief systems are quite prevalent. Astrology isn't astronomy, and of course we have plenty of alchemists in every sort. Ignorance of rudimentary science is profound. Conspiracy theorists are numerous. Then there are those who believe that an unseen god will bless their every endeavor. MLM soldiers go out with a hope and a prayer, lead by their mentors, the economic alchemists. <br /><br />I suppose cultists are being shamed more openly now than ever before. I am reminded of the Scientologist I had run into not too long ago. She was ill prepared for the way I handled her. She went away very angry. The rough handling many receive online is encouraging. Influential people seem to be more numerous. There's good reason for your optimism. It would be very encouraging to see Herbalife come apart at the seams. The truth is out there if people are wise enough to heed it. <br /><br /> <br /><br /> quixtarisaculthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051645876072252255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-38875756527572276502015-07-20T11:09:01.909+02:002015-07-20T11:09:01.909+02:00quixtariscult - I actually think that world popula...quixtariscult - I actually think that world population figures are a red herring and that this particular phase of the ongoing criminogenic cult phenomenon, is finally coming to an end after 60+ years, because the bosses of 'MLM' cults are rapidly losing their monopoly of information.<br /><br />Far too many influential people are lately coming to understand how 'MLM' cultism functions.<br /><br />In the same way that satelite television brought about the demise of the 'Soviet socialist' fairy story, I think that the Internet is bringing about the demise of its 'capitalist' equivalent.<br /><br />Unfortunately, history proves that the cult phenomenon always re-invents itself to fit the spirit of the age.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-40825505245381364152015-07-19T21:20:43.855+02:002015-07-19T21:20:43.855+02:00David,
What's your opinion on World populati...David, <br /><br />What's your opinion on World population growth? Since this remains a positive number, might we believe that there will always be new recruits available to an ever expanding number of MLMs even if these recruits become ever increasingly difficult to obtain because of external pressures described by Robert Fitzpatrick? A slow down in the industry might follow slow downs in new home starts. The number of new MLM starts obviously puts pressure on the market for new believers, but as long as the world population shows growth, there should be potential recruits to be had. There's obviously a new (or potential) sucker being born every day. The market in MLM isn't the product share, but the believer share. All MLMs seek out MLM virgins, because those that have 'been had' are no longer interested in having intercourse with MLM. I thought maybe I'd get a conversation started. quixtarisaculthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07051645876072252255noreply@blogger.com
