Appeal to the authority you give yourself based on *past experience (leave out any negative past experience) *religious/spiritual “insight” can be a substitute here
-
Present an ambitious “vision” that claims to require said past experience to fully grasp
-
Allow your targets to start building the product in their imagination based on the crumbs you gave them with step 2
-
Sell disjointed tangential products that don’t interfere with the player’s dream logic and promise they will connect to your cohesive vision with time
-
Find “technical delays”
-
Express that you need backers to buy more of the dream to help get through the “technical delays”
-
Repeat for 9 years until the market begins to retract
-
Open the dream up to asian markets
-
???
-
Profit
All it requires is being a soulless piece of shit.

I see what you’re saying. It’s how people like Trump can convince them he’s after their best interests; from the things he says to what the news reports, they’re conditioned to not be concerned with data points that are “true”, so much as which data points work for them emotionally because the consequences are intangible and modern life is so automatic. Idiocracy, basically. Kinda funny that people always boogieman with slippery slope fallacy of “the end result of socialism is communism” while we watch the end result of this capitalist society become some mutation of idiocracy and authoritarianism.
I think you’re right.
I think I’m a bit confused by the fact that when I was younger my conclusion was that everyone is smart, they just need access to information, but that wasn’t true. They need to be taught to process information first. What we have instead is everyone in their own little virtual reality where facts are estimated based on what feels best, because too few people understand the value and necessity of critical thinking and instead apply religious reasoning and whatnot.
Good points, and to counter my own point: the source of a lot of the mis-education is capitalists attempting to maintain this lop-sided status quo… lol

You too, sincerely.
